I used Boulder for a short time when I had my Allstate agency.
Didn't have much success at all as I thought the leads were nothing more than people being pressured to get a phone call from an agent.
Thats was a couple of years ago, maybe their operation or marketing tactics can shed a more positive review today.

No HBW Leads, they are a telemarketing service

In the past two years I have used HBW, Bolder, TRI and found them to be as bad as internet leads.
Sold 3 or 4 policies out of nearly 60 leads. Most people did not want a quote. Seemed like they were pressured into saying "yes". They were hard to contact. The ones that were easy to contact were bad business.
Just a bad experience for me...

I agree with secondcreek. I've tried Bolder and HBW a couple of times, and they really aren't as good as I would have though. The advantage of them is that they're not getting calls from other agents. The problem seems to be that many of the people are agreeing to get a quote just to get the telemarketer off the phone. Also, a lot the ones I actually managed to get a hold of were non-standard leads (low limits, bad records, etc)
I did get a couple of good sales, but it didn't seem like the time and money invested were really paying off.

I've revived 9 from HBW so far haven't bound any. I do like that when I call they pick up and are willing to get a quote. However I am a captive agent with really preferred carrier so it's been hard to sell on these. The second quote I did had a 154k on their homeowners lol. I think with a few legit carriers they could be a good small source of business
