John, our fearless leader, is passionate about helping companies grow. Tfleads was built to be a different kind of lead generation service offering and BFFs with sales and marketing teams. After 8 years of building tfleads from scratch, bootstrapped since day one, John has transitioned away from the day-to-day operations and remains owner with his wife, Tasha. The leadership team made up of Goldlust, Mattie, Kevin, and Alyssa are taking tfleads to new heights!

Tasha jumped off the cliff with John in starting tfleads in 2014. She skillfully filled in the gaps for a few years as the company got on its feet and, though her background in social work, discovered quite a knack for business and marketing. Although she is busy raising their 3 kids, Tasha still assists if there is a need.

Growing up in Napa Valley gave Kevin a head start most people don’t get in their professional lives. Getting starting in the hospitality industry at a young age, he learned right away that he had an intense passion for people and helping others in any way he could. That magic of wine country resonated and has stuck with him to this day. Kevin has 25 years experience in sales and takes pride in putting a hospitable twist on everything he does. Kevin usually spends his weekends with his wife and 4 sons, watching baseball tournaments in some city, somewhere. Then back to the house to relax with a glass of wine in the backyard.

OUR CORE VALUES
FROM THE CEO
I started Top of the Funnel Leads (aka tfleads) with my wife, Tasha, in early 2014 because I’ve seen firsthand that, from start-ups to large enterprises, companies don’t always have the resources, time, or expertise to dedicate to lead generation and do it well. Anyone that has been in sales knows that it is critical to keep the leads pipeline full.
Our vision is to be the very best in digital lead generation, so that whether we are executing campaigns, consulting/training clients, or sharing best practices and resources – we can always be a lead generation partner.
At less than the cost of a full-time employee, tfleads provides an entire team of Data Analysts, Copywriters, and Lead Generators that are lead generation experts dedicated to your success and ready to hustle.
We LOVE happy clients and are excited to work with any company looking to amp up their lead gen efforts and grow their business!
