Lead Generation VA (Build Prospect Lists + Run Cold Outreach)

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

We're a small software studio that builds and launches our own products. We currently run several: an AI documentation tool for childcare centers and therapy clinics, an HR/talent marketplace, an AI recruiting product, a fitness app, and a pregnancy and early-parenting app. Some are live, some are in early pilots. We're good at building things. We're behind on getting them in front of the people who'd use them. That's the job. What you'd actually do Two things, roughly 70/30: 1. Build the lead databases (the bulk of the work). For a given product, you research and build a clean, verified prospect list from scratch. For example: every licensed childcare center in Alberta and BC, with the director's name, verified email, phone, center size, and website. Or: HR managers at Colombian companies in the 50–500 employee range. You find the sources, you pull the data, you verify it, you structure it in a spreadsheet we can actually use. We care a lot more about accuracy than volume. A 60-record list where every email is real and every contact is the right person beats a 400-record list we have to clean ourselves. Bounced emails hurt us. 2. Run outreach and keep the threads alive. Send outreach sequences from templates we provide (you'll help improve them). Track every touch. Follow up on schedule — most of our replies will come on touch 3 or 4, not touch 1. Flag interested replies to us fast so we can jump on a call. Keep the CRM honest so we always know where every conversation stands. You are not expected to close anything. You get the conversation started and hand it to us warm. How we start: a small paid test project Before any ongoing contract, we hire 2–3 people for a short paid task so we can see real work instead of guessing from proposals. Whoever does this well gets an ongoing hourly contract with room to grow. Who we're looking for You've built B2B lead lists before and can tell us specifically how — which sources, which tools, how you verified emails Fluent, natural written English. You'll be writing to North American business owners and it has to read like a person wrote it Comfortable with Google Sheets, and with whatever email finder/verifier you prefer (tell us which) Organized to the point of being a little annoying about it. Every lead tracked, every follow-up on time, nothing dropped Self-directed. We'll give you the target and the templates; we won't be checking in hourly Reliable overlap with North American business hours for a weekly call Nice to have, not required: experience with childcare, education, healthcare, or HR verticals. Experience with Instantly, Apollo, Lemlist, Hunter, or similar. Spanish.
