B2B Lead Researcher Needed to Build Verified US Contact List
Worldwide
We are looking for an experienced B2B lead researcher and list-building specialist to create a highly targeted and verified contact list of companies and decision-makers across the United States. We operate in the architectural visualization and construction-technology industry. Our services help building and design professionals present, evaluate, and experience projects before construction begins. This is a research-quality project. We are not looking for a generic database export or a large list of unqualified contacts. Every company should fit our target market, and every contact should be researched, organized, and verified. TARGET COMPANIES The list should include qualified companies in categories such as: • Custom home builders • Luxury residential builders • Design-build companies • Residential architects and architecture firms • Interior designers and interior-design firms • Residential developers • Luxury remodelers • Home-plan designers and drafting companies • Furniture, kitchen, flooring, lighting, and home-design studios • Other companies that could benefit from architectural visualization, interactive 3D experiences, virtual walkthroughs, or preconstruction decision tools Our strongest prospects will generally work on custom, luxury, or higher-value residential projects. We are especially interested in builders working on homes valued at approximately $750,000 or more. We are initially targeting companies throughout the United States. Please explain whether you recommend researching the entire country at once or beginning with selected states or metropolitan areas. TARGET CONTACTS We want the appropriate owner or decision-maker at each company. Relevant titles may include: • Owner • Founder or Co-Founder • President • CEO • Principal • Managing Partner • Director of Business Development • Director of Sales or Marketing • Design Director • Preconstruction Director • Purchasing or Selections Manager • Other appropriate decision-makers Whenever possible, we prefer a named decision-maker and direct business email instead of a generic address such as info@, office@, sales@, or contact@. REQUIRED INFORMATION Each record should include the following information in a clean Google Sheet or Excel file: • Company name • Company category or industry • Company website • Company LinkedIn page • Facebook and Instagram pages, when available • Primary contact’s first and last name • Contact’s job title • Verified business email address • Direct phone number, when available • Company phone number • Contact’s LinkedIn profile • Company city • Company state • Geographic service area • Approximate number of employees or company-size range • Estimated annual revenue or revenue range, when reliably available • Residential, commercial, or mixed-project focus • Custom, luxury, production, remodeling, design, or development specialty • Typical project type or price range, when available • Source URLs showing where the information was found • Email-verification status • Date the email was verified • Notes explaining why the company fits our target market ADDITIONAL VALUABLE INFORMATION Please explain what additional information you can reliably provide, such as: • Recent or active projects • Typical home values or project sizes • Number of homes built annually • Awards or recognition • Membership in builder, architectural, or design associations • Parade of Homes participation • Geographic markets served • Technologies currently used • Evidence that the company uses 3D renderings, virtual tours, VR, AR, or architectural visualization • Whether the company has an internal design or selections center • Recent company growth or hiring • Relevant decision-maker social-media activity • A short personalized outreach note or conversation starter for each company EMAIL VERIFICATION All email addresses must be verified before delivery using a reputable email-verification service. Your proposal must identify: • The tools you use to find contact information • The tool you use to verify email addresses • What verification statuses you will include • Your expected accuracy or deliverability rate • How you handle catch-all, risky, unknown, or unverifiable addresses • How you remove duplicates • How recently each email was verified Do not include guessed, fabricated, outdated, or unverified email addresses. Catch-all or uncertain addresses must be clearly identified and separated from fully verified emails. DELIVERABLES Please provide: • A clean Google Sheet, Excel file, or CSV • One company and decision-maker per row • Clearly labeled columns • No duplicate companies or contacts • Separate categories or tags for each target audience • Source information for every record • A separate section for questionable or catch-all email addresses • A brief summary of the completed research • The total number of qualified companies, contacts, and fully verified emails We would like the data organized so it can eventually be imported into GoHighLevel. Please tell us whether you have experience formatting and importing lists into GoHighLevel. INITIAL PROJECT AND FUTURE WORK We would like to begin with an initial list of approximately 500 qualified, verified contacts. If the quality is strong, this may become an ongoing project involving additional markets, industries, states, and decision-makers. Please provide separate pricing if you recommend beginning with a smaller paid sample or pilot list. TO APPLY Please answer all of the following questions: 1. What lead-research and email-verification tools do you use? 2. How do you determine whether a company genuinely fits a client’s target market? 3. How many qualified and verified contacts can you provide per day or week? 4. How quickly can you complete an initial list of 500 contacts? 5. What is your fixed price for 500 qualified contacts with verified emails? 6. What information can you provide beyond the required fields listed above? 7. Can you identify company size, employee count, estimated revenue, project type, geographic service area, and typical project value? 8. Can you find named owners or decision-makers rather than generic company email addresses? 9. What accuracy or deliverability rate do you expect from the finished list? 10. How do you handle catch-all, risky, unknown, and unverifiable email addresses? 11. Do you have experience researching builders, architects, designers, developers, remodelers, or construction-related businesses? 12. Can you format the final list for importing into GoHighLevel? 13. Please attach an example of a similar contact list with any private client information removed. 14. Please provide a sample of five companies that match the target market described in this posting. Include the company, location, website, decision-maker’s name and title, and the type of information you would provide. You do not need to provide private contact information in your proposal. Please begin your proposal with the words “Verified Builder List” so we know you read the entire description. We are looking for accuracy, relevance, organization, and verified information—not simply the largest possible list. Applicants who explain their research process, tools, turnaround time, and quality-control methods will receive priority.
