B2B Cold Email Lead Generation

We're a U.S.-focused cold calling and lead generation agency. We run outbound campaigns for real estate investors, wholesalers, and acquisition companies. We're expanding our own outbound email program and need a researcher who can build clean, verified prospect lists — not a bulk database export. We've already burned through lists full of role-based inboxes and unverified addresses. That's exactly what we're hiring to avoid. Who we're targeting (read this carefully — it's the whole job) Our ideal customer is a U.S.-based real estate investor or wholesaler. These are people who buy properties themselves or contract properties and assign them. They need consistent seller leads, which is what we provide. ✅ IN SCOPE Real estate wholesalers (single operators and small teams) Fix-and-flip investors and buy-and-hold investors Cash home buyers / "we buy houses" operators Land investors and land flippers Acquisition companies and acquisition managers at small investment firms Multifamily / small commercial acquirers (secondary priority) Signals that someone is a real fit: LinkedIn headline or About section mentions: investor, wholesaler, acquisitions, dispositions, off-market, distressed, "we buy houses," cash offers Company name patterns: "[City] Home Buyers," "[Name] Property Solutions," "Cash Offer [X]," "[X] Capital," "[X] Land Group" Website with a seller-facing lead form: "sell your house fast," "get a cash offer," "sell your land" Posts about deals, rehabs, dispositions, buyer lists, or acquisitions ❌ OUT OF SCOPE — do not include these Realtors, real estate agents, brokers, brokerages, teams — anyone with Realtor®, Licensed Agent, Broker, or affiliation with Keller Williams, RE/MAX, eXp, Compass, Coldwell Banker, Century 21, etc. Tax lien and note investors — anyone whose business is liens, notes, or paper rather than physical property acquisition Mortgage brokers, loan officers, hard money lenders, title companies Property managers, appraisers, inspectors, contractors Coaches, gurus, course sellers, and "real estate educators" Anyone outside the United States Large institutional buyers (Opendoor, Offerpad, Invitation Homes and similar) If a contact is ambiguous, leave it out. One bad lead costs us more than one missing lead. Contact requirements Founders and decision-makers only. Owner, Founder, Co-Founder, CEO, Managing Partner, President, Head of Acquisitions, Acquisitions Manager. No VAs, no assistants, no junior staff, no generic company records. Emails must be personal and direct. We will reject the entire batch if it contains generic or shared company inboxes — the ones built on words like info, contact, admin, hello, sales, support, team, offers, or leads. If the address isn't tied to one specific named human, it doesn't count. What we want is the founder's own working address on their company domain — first name only, or first name plus last name, in whatever pattern that company uses. A personal free-provider address is acceptable if it's clearly the one they run their business from. Every email must be verified before delivery. Use ZeroBounce, MillionVerifier, NeverBounce, Debounce, or equivalent. We only accept results marked Valid/Deliverable. Catch-all, risky, unknown, and disposable results must be excluded or flagged in a separate column — not mixed in silently. Include your verification report with each batch. Phone numbers where available. Mobile or direct line preferred. Company switchboards are low value. Mark the number type. Phone is optional per lead, but the higher the fill rate the better. Deliverable format Google Sheet or CSV with exactly these columns: Column Notes first_name last_name job_title company_name company_website linkedin_profile_url personal_email email_status verification_tool Which tool was used phone If available phone_type city state No duplicates within a batch or against batches you've already delivered. How we'll work Paid test batch first. 50 leads, paid at the agreed rate. We check accuracy, bounce rate, and fit. If the test passes (95%+ deliverable, 90%+ ICP fit), we move to ongoing weekly batches. Ongoing work is steady and long-term for the right person. We're not looking for a one-off. What you need Proven experience building targeted B2B lists — please show real examples Access to and fluency with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, or similar (you provide your own tools) A paid email verification tool Strong Boolean search skills Good written English and the judgment to tell an investor apart from an agent Reliable weekly delivery Bonus: familiarity with the U.S. real estate investing space, or previous work sourcing for cold email/cold calling agencies. Please don't apply if You plan to hand us a bulk database export with no manual qualification You can't verify emails before delivery You use role-based addresses to hit volume targets You're an agency planning to subcontract this to someone we won't be working with directly To apply Skip the generic proposal. Start your message with the word investor so we know you read this. Then tell us: Which tools you'd use to source and verify these contacts, and your typical workflow Two or three example searches or filters you'd run to isolate wholesalers and investors while filtering out licensed agents Your typical bounce rate on delivered lists, and how you measure it How many qualified leads you can deliver per week Your rate per lead Applications that don't answer these won't be reviewed.
