    Usually, leads will involve more than just plain contact information. It will be based on income, age, occupation etc.
    So that customers can ask for "every female between 18 and 25 in this area here" or "guys with annual income above $80000" etc.
    You could sell plain address-lists, or phone-lists, but there isn't that much money in this (usually this can be pulled from the yellow-pages).
    Some countries also have regulations protecting private customers from phonesales and similar (ie, you can reserve to not be called by these companies, and if they do anyway, you can have them fined) - this is usually a register somewhere, and companies are obliged to wash their lists against them - not really something you need to worry about, but if any countries have this, you might be able to charge a premium for pre-washed lists.
    I doubt there will be much money in plain address-lists, though - the payments come in if you can provide more criteria.

    A true LEAD is someones information that LEADS to a sale of a product or service. Usually a REAL lead is produced by a customer who is interested in said product or service. What you have is merely contact information. Not leads. Not a business. Not even a business model. Anyone with a Phone Book has what you have if not greater hah..
