Let Launch Leads deliver qualified leads from aerospace OEMs, defense primes, and tier suppliers. Connect with program managers ready to evaluate your capabilities.
LEAD GENERATION COMPANIES
Qualified Leads Built for Aerospace & Defense
Aerospace sales cycles span years, measured in program milestones and qualification phases. Procurement teams request AS9100 certifications, then disappear. Defense primes issue RFIs, then award to incumbents. Companies show interest at trade shows, then vanish into ITAR reviews. Most lead generation treats aerospace like any industrial sector, but success requires distinguishing prospects casually exploring vendors from those facing genuine pressure—suppliers missing critical commitments, primes needing domestic capacity for Buy American compliance, or program offices qualifying suppliers for new platforms. Launch Leads identifies companies with active needs: OEMs scaling beyond capacity, contractors requiring specialized capabilities, or program managers whose vendors lack required certifications.

Why Aerospace & Defense Companies Choose Launch Leads
Certification and Capability Matching
We understand the difference between prospects needing basic machining with AS9100 versus NADCAP special processing, ITAR facilities, or security clearances. You only speak with prospects whose requirements match your capabilities—no pursuing programs requiring competencies you don’t possess.
Program Timing Intelligence
We identify prospects at critical inflection points—production increases straining capacity, vendor failures threatening deliveries, new platform awards, or insourcing creating subcontracting needs. You speak with program managers facing genuine urgency because schedules depend on qualifying new suppliers.
Decision-Maker Access in Complex Organizations
We navigate complex structures to reach decision-makers—program managers with supplier selection authority, procurement directors controlling qualifications, and supply chain VPs evaluating sourcing. Not buyers gathering quotes, but people who approve qualifications and issue orders.

What You Get With Launch Leads' Aerospace & Defense Lead Generation Service
Common Questions
How quickly will I start receiving leads?
Most aerospace suppliers receive qualified appointments within 30-45 days. The first two weeks involve understanding your certifications and ideal program profiles. Week three begins outreach, and weeks four through five deliver first appointments. We focus on prospects with near-term qualification needs.
What makes these leads different from a lead database?
Lead databases provide names and numbers—we deliver qualified conversations. Every prospect has confirmed active programs, discussed requirements, verified timelines, and demonstrated authority to initiate qualification. They’re exclusive to you, not shared with competitors.
How do you ensure lead quality?
We verify active programs or upcoming awards, confirm requirements match your capabilities and certifications, validate near-term timelines, and ensure we reach decision-makers—not gatekeepers. Prospects lacking active programs never reach your calendar.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. We operate month-to-month with no long-term contracts. We earn your business monthly through consistent delivery of qualified appointments. Given aerospace sales cycles typically span 12-24 months, we recommend evaluating performance quarterly. We require 30 days written notice to cancel.
Do you understand the aerospace and defense business?
Absolutely. We understand AS9100 and NADCAP certifications, ITAR requirements, DFARS cybersecurity, and what drives procurement in defense primes versus commercial OEMs. We’ve worked with suppliers across precision machining, composites, and electronics assembly. Qualifying for defense primes differs from commercial aerospace—we use program-specific criteria reflecting these distinctions.
What kind of support do I get?
You’ll have a dedicated account manager who understands aerospace procurement. This includes weekly strategy calls, real-time dashboard access, and direct communication for urgent opportunities. We become an extension of your team, refining our approach as we learn which programs convert best.
