Lead Researcher Needed to Build Clean, Verified B2B Prospect Lists
Worldwide
I'm looking for a detail-oriented lead researcher to build clean, accurate, highly targeted prospect lists for our outbound sales team. I do not want a basic Google Maps scrape. I need someone who can research, clean, verify, and organize leads based on clear targeting criteria. Our agency sells Websites to local service businesses. The lead lists will be used by cold callers, so accuracy matters. Target industries may include: - Contractors - Home service businesses - Plastic surgery clinics - Medspas Your job: 1.
