Lead Research + Personalized Outreach Assistant (B2B, Low-Volume, Quality Over Quantity)

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a detail-oriented assistant to do two things: (1) research and build a targeted list of good-fit businesses, and (2) send a small number of personalized outreach messages per day. This is NOT bulk spam. Volume is deliberately low (a few per day), every message is personalized, and quality matters far more than quantity. Sloppy mass-messaging is exactly what I’m trying to avoid. Part 1 - Research (build the target list): Find small-to-mid businesses that fit this profile: - Have an active, professional website
 - Are clearly already advertising or spending on marketing (Google Ads, Facebook ads, active social, print, etc.), meaning they value leads and have budget
 - Are the kind of business where a lost lead means lost real money (examples: local theaters, event venues, contractors, medical/dental practices, law firms, real estate, service businesses)
 For each lead, capture: business name, website, location, evidence they advertise (which channel), and a personalization hook (something specific about them to reference). Part 2 - Outreach (personalized, low-volume): - Send a few personalized messages per day
 - Develop multiple copy strategies. - Personalize each one using the hook from research (not a copy-paste blast)
. - We’ll A/B test a few different message versions: you’ll send variant A to some, variant B to others, and track which gets more replies
 - Log every send in a simple spreadsheet: business, date, which variant, response
 You’re a fit if you: - Are genuinely detail-oriented and can follow a specific targeting profile (not just grab any business)
 - Write and read English well (personalization has to sound human)
 - Are organized with spreadsheets and tracking
 - Understand this is quality-first, low-volume outreach; I’d rather have 20 great leads than 200 lazy ones 
 To apply, please include: 1. Any similar lead-research or outreach experience
 2. What tools/methods you’d use to find businesses that are actively advertising
 3. Find me 3 sample leads that fit the profile above (with the personalization hook for each) so I can see your research quality
 Start: Small paid trial. Build an initial list of ~25 qualified leads and send the first batch, so we can see the quality and response rate before scaling.
