Explanation:
Leads can also refer to a supervisory position (leads rank usually in between "regular" employees and supervisors).

I don't know enough of your text to know if this fits. Just an idea...

Interessenten


Explanation:
Leads sind Interessenten, sprich Menschen, die ihr Interesse für ein Produkt bzw. eine Dienstleistung initiativ bekundet haben.

Typisch ist folgende Situation:
Ein Interessent meldet sich z.B. auf eine Anzeige oder Empfehlung beim Hersteller und bittet um weitere Informationen. Dieser gibt diese Anfrage inklusive Kontaktdaten (Lead) an den passenden Distributor/Repräsentanten/Händler weiter und dieser bearbeitet dann die Anfrage.

Example sentence(s):
