Manual Lead Generation + Social Outreach

BracketGO is a simple, free tournament bracket platform built for local sports tournaments. Organizers can create and manage single- or double-elimination brackets, update scores and schedules, and share one live bracket through a link or QR code. There is no subscription or sales pitch for the organizer. Our immediate goal is simple: **Get real tournament organizers to try BracketGO for real tournaments.** Website: **bracketgo.app** --- ## What We Need We are looking for a resourceful person who can do the entire outreach process: **Find qualified prospects → Research them → Reach out → Follow up → Encourage them to try BracketGO** This is **NOT** a lead-list-only project. We do not need someone to simply provide hundreds or thousands of names or email addresses. We need someone who is comfortable personally finding relevant tournament organizers and contacting them through Facebook, Instagram, email, or other appropriate channels. --- ## Who We Want You to Find Our best prospects are people or organizations actively involved in running upcoming tournaments, including: * Tournament Directors * Youth Baseball and Softball Organizations * Travel Baseball / Softball Clubs * League Administrators * Recreation Departments * Sports Clubs * Tournament Organizers * Coaches who organize tournaments Baseball and softball are excellent starting points, but other bracket-based sports can also be considered. ### Strong Leads We especially want prospects where there is evidence that a tournament is actually happening. Examples: * A tournament advertised for an upcoming weekend * A bracket or schedule posted on Facebook or Instagram * A PDF, image, spreadsheet, or paper-style bracket being shared * Posts containing phrases such as “bracket released,” “schedule posted,” “championship weekend,” or “tournament this weekend” * Organizations regularly hosting tournaments **We want active tournament organizers — not simply large lists of sports organizations.** --- ## The Outreach Messages should be short, casual, personalized, and helpful. This should **not** feel like aggressive sales outreach. For example: “Hey! Saw you guys have a tournament coming up. Thought this might be useful — BracketGO is a free tool that lets you update the bracket once and everyone following the link or QR gets the changes instantly. Figured I’d pass it along in case it saves you some work this weekend. bracketgo.app” Whenever possible, personalize the opening based on the tournament or organization you found. We will provide additional messaging examples and guidance. --- ## What Success Looks Like Our primary goal is **not the number of leads collected or messages sent.** Our goal is: **Real tournament organizers trying BracketGO and creating brackets.** We will track: Prospects Found → Outreach Sent → Replies → Interested Prospects → Brackets Created → Real Tournament Usage Quality is much more important than volume. **50 highly relevant tournament organizers are more valuable to us than 5,000 generic sports contacts.** --- ## What We're Looking For in You You may be a good fit if you have experience with: * Manual lead generation * Facebook or Instagram prospecting * Social media outreach * Influencer outreach * Cold DM outreach * Community outreach * Appointment setting * Partnership outreach * Prospect research Experience specifically in youth sports is helpful but **not required**. Being resourceful and comfortable researching prospects manually is much more important. --- ## Small Initial Test We plan to begin with a **small paid test project** rather than a large campaign. You will research a small number of highly qualified tournament organizers, conduct outreach, follow up where appropriate, and document the results. If the test works well, there is an opportunity for ongoing outreach work. --- ## When Applying Please do **not** send us a generic lead-generation proposal. Instead, briefly answer this: **If we asked you to find 10 youth baseball or softball tournament organizers with upcoming tournaments, how would you find them and how would you contact them?** Please describe the actual process you would use. We are especially interested in applicants comfortable doing both **research AND outreach**, rather than simply delivering a lead list.
