We are seeking a detail-oriented professional to assist with the identification and verification of key company contacts.

The ideal candidate will have experience in data research and verification, ensuring all information is accurate and up to date.

I’m looking for a freelancer to build a list of 200 U.S.-based construction companies that operate heavy equipment (excavators, backhoes, skid steers, dozers, etc.).

These companies will be invited to beta test a fleet & equipment maintenance tracking software (PreventaScan).

Criteria:
• Construction / excavation / earthmoving companies
• Must own or operate heavy equipment
• Small to mid-sized companies only (approx. 5–100 employees)
• EXCLUDE massive national or billion-dollar companies
• Prefer owner-operated or regional contractors

Required Data Fields:
• Company name
• Website
• City & State
• Contact email (info@ or decision-maker preferred)
• Phone number
• LinkedIn (company or owner if available)
• Notes confirming heavy equipment usage

Deliverable:
• Google Sheet or CSV
• Clean, duplicate-free, U.S.-based leads only

Please include examples of similar lead generation work and confirm how you’ll verify companies actually operate heavy equipment.

I represent a client in the sexual-wellness retreat space who would like to offer a complimentary retreat experience to a top-tier reality show. To support this, I need help identifying the people who handle trade-outs and brand integrations for reality TV. Job titles vary widely in this area, so I’m looking for someone who can build a clean, accurate list of the right contacts.

Deliverable:
Please create a Google Sheet with the following columns:
* First Name
* Last Name
* Title
* Company Name
* Email
* LinkedIn URL
* Shows They Represent (when available)
* Notes on how you verified their reality-show involvement
* Source link (IMDb, LinkedIn, agency page, press article, etc.)

Looking for 10-15 contacts to start.

A strong example of the type of contact I’m looking for is Nicole Blum

* LinkedIn: (link removed)
* Slate: (link removed)
(Provided for reference only, not to be included in your list.)


Please prioritize people who have worked on multiple reality shows, and when available, include anyone who shares a ‘slate’ or deck like Nicole’s. These are especially valuable, but not required—many qualified contacts will not have public decks. Trade-out producers for any of the Vanderpump Rules or Real Housewives franchise shows are also highly valuable, even if they do not oversee multiple shows.

* What You're Looking For:
People who manage things like trade-outs, product placement, travel partnerships, props, and experience integrations for current reality TV shows (Bravo, TLC, MTV, Netflix, WETV, etc.). Many of these individuals do not have obvious titles, so looking at their show history is often more helpful than relying on job titles alone.

* Agencies and Firms to Start With
These companies often employ people who handle trade-outs, product placement, or brand integrations:
BENlabs, Hollywood Branded, Branded Pictures Entertainment, Propagate Content (partnerships team), Civic Entertainment Group, Creative Entertainment Services (CES), Norm Marshall & Associates, The Marketing Arm, and A-List Communications.

* Production Companies (Also Strong Starting Points)
These production companies frequently employ internal brand-integration or trade-out personnel:
Truly Original, Evolution Media, ITV America, Bunim-Murray Productions, Pilgrim Media Group, Magical Elves, Shed Media, Fly on the Wall Entertainment, and 51 Minds.

Relevant Titles to Search For
* Trade-Out Producer
* Brand Integration Producer
* Product Placement Manager / Producer
* Brand Partnerships Producer
* Branded Entertainment Producer
* Partnerships / Integrations (TV/Film)
* Entertainment Partnerships Lead
* Integrated Marketing Producer

How to Verify Their Reality TV Experience

You can confirm someone works on active reality shows by checking:
* LinkedIn experience (look for show names or seasons)
* IMDb or IMDb Pro (credits listed under their name)
* Company/agency websites (case studies or client lists)
* Press releases and articles mentioning integrations or partnerships


How to Apply
- If you have strong online research skills, experience with LinkedIn and IMDb Pro, and are comfortable identifying and vetting contacts within a framework like this, please reach out with a brief description of your background and why you’re a strong match.
- Examples of similar past work are helpful but not required.

Project Description: Voicebot Survey Engineer (Outbound Phone + Twilio + Questionnaire + Excel Output)
Budget / Phase 1 Goal: Build a functional MVP voicebot that can dial voters, read a structured survey, capture coded answers, and export Excel data.

About the Project
We are building a public opinion research-focused outbound voicebot survey system. The goal is to conduct structured interviews via phone - not via keypad or prerecorded prompts - and to produce clean, analysis-ready data.
We expect the simplest, most stable approach to use Twilio for telephony and call control, combined with a real-time AI model for natural voice.
We want an engineer who can take this concept and turn it into a reliable, survey-grade tool - and who can advise if there are better ways to architect the system.

Responsibilities
You will:
• Implement outbound dialing using Twilio (Calls API, TwiML, status callbacks)
• Set up Twilio Media Streams for real-time bi-directional audio streaming
• Bridge audio to a real-time AI voice model (OpenAI Realtime API or similar)
• Build the questionnaire engine (skip logic, validation, retries)
• Ensure the voicebot stays on script and handles clarifications properly
• Capture each answer as a coded response (enforced via JSON schema or similar)
• Implement core dispositions: complete / partial / refusal / ineligible / voicemail
• Store responses + paradata in a database
• Produce a clean Excel/CSV export (one row per respondent)
• Document how the system works + handoff instructions
• Advise on improvements, limitations, and risks (we’re open to your input)

Key Technical Requirements
Must-Have Skills
• Strong backend experience (Node.js or Python)
• Experience with real-time audio via WebSockets
• Experience building state machines or structured workflows
• Data engineering basics: database schema, logging, clean export pipelines
• Ability to control a conversational AI so it behaves deterministically
• Strong attention to data quality (validation, coding, DK/refused handling)

Soft Skills / Preferred Technology Familiarity
We believe - but are open to your input - that the right technical foundations include:

Twilio Voice / Telephony
• Twilio Programmable Voice outbound calls
• Twilio TwiML (make-call flows, status callbacks)
• Caller ID management, redial logic, call pacing fundamentals
• Twilio Answering Machine Detection (AMD) (optional but useful)
• Twilio error codes, call quality debugging, webhook reliability

Twilio Media Streams
• Managing streaming audio sessions
• Handling barge-in, silence detection, and latency buffering
• Reconnecting or terminating streams safely

Realtime AI Voice Models
• OpenAI Realtime API (WebSocket) or equivalent speech-to-speech pipelines
• Familiarity with structured outputs (JSON schema enforcement)
• Experience preventing the model from ad-libbing outside the survey script

Survey / Insights Familiarity (Nice-to-Have)
• Understanding survey dispositions (complete, refusal, breakoff)
• Experience with skip logic, branching, DK/refused coding
• Familiarity with paradata (duration, retries, interruptions)

Platform/DevOps
• Docker + deployment to AWS/GCP/Azure
• Handling secrets (Twilio keys, API keys) safely
• Basic monitoring/logging so we can run a 500-complete pilot smoothly

Phase 1 MVP: What Success Looks Like
We want a simple, working version that can:

Dial a number using Twilio

Play a natural-voice introduction + consent line

Ask 10–20 structured survey questions

Capture valid answers (coded) with clarification if needed

Respect skip logic

Log each question + answer + timestamp

Produce an Excel/CSV file at the end

Produce basic dispositions (complete, partial, refusal, voicemail)

We do not need (yet):
• complex quota management
• large dashboards
• live human takeover
• branded calling
• call blending or predictive dialing

Phase 1 is about proving the concept in a controlled, survey-grade manner.

How We Currently Think This Will Work (Open to Better Ideas)
Below is our initial architecture — but you are invited to propose improvements.

Outbound dialing using Twilio
• Send numbers to Twilio Calls API
• When answered, Twilio requests our webhook
• Our webhook initiates a Stream connection for bidirectional audio

OpenAI Realtime Voice Session
• Our server connects to a real-time AI voice model
• Audio from the caller flows to the AI
• Audio from the AI flows back through Twilio to the caller
• The model only speaks content provided by the survey controller

Questionnaire Engine
• A server-side state machine:
o Knows what question to ask next
o Sends that question text to the voice model
o Receives structured answer output
o Validates answers (1–5, yes/no, etc.)
o Re-asks if unclear
o Applies skip rules
o Logs everything

Logging + Export
• A simple table: respondent_id, timestamp, question_id, coded_answer
• Exported as Excel or CSV after fieldwork

We Want Your Input
We explicitly want the engineer to tell us:
• Is Twilio the best choice, or is there a simpler telephony layer?
• Are there ways to reduce latency + increase call stability?
• What should we avoid in v1?
• What’s the fastest path to 500 completes with quality?
• What will this take in terms of costs and timing and what are the key ways to create milestones within this project?

If you love clean spreadsheets and detective work, keep reading.

I’m hiring a detail-obsessed VA to help me find real decision-maker contact info (emails + basic details) so I can run cold outreach.

This is research only.
You are not writing messages.
You are not pitching anyone.
You are not doing outreach.

Your job is to deliver accurate, usable contacts I can plug into my system immediately.

What you’ll be researching

You’ll be building lead lists for specific business types (I’ll give you the exact targets), like:

1. Med spas / aesthetics brands
2. Hotels / retreats / wellness brands
3. Coaches / consultants
4. Service businesses with real budgets

The main thing I care about: you’re finding the right person (owner/founder/marketing decision-maker) and the right email.

What “good” looks like in this role
You’re perfect for this if:

**You double-check everything automatically
**You hate messy data
**You don’t guess
**You’re the kind of person who catches errors other people miss
**You can do repetitive work without getting sloppy

This will not work if:
- You rush
- You “fill in blanks”
- You submit leads that bounce
- You don’t read instructions carefully

How you will find emails (the method matters)
You will use a mix of sources — not just one.

1) Company websites (always check first)

You must look through:
- Contact page
- About page
- Team page
- Press page
- Careers page (weirdly useful)
- Website footer
- If the email is on the site, grab it and note that.

2) LinkedIn (verification only)

LinkedIn is for confirming:
- Who the decision-maker is
- Their role/title
- That they work at the company
- You are NOT messaging on LinkedIn.

3) Email enrichment tools (if needed)

If the email isn’t listed on the site, you’ll use enrichment tools like:
- Apollo
- Hunter
- Snov
- Instantly enrichment
- Similar tools
**Rule: if it doesn’t verify, it doesn’t go on the list.
No guessing.

4) Google / directories

You’ll also use:
- Google Maps
- Industry directories
- Business listing sites
- These are especially good for wellness/hospitality brands.

Exactly what you must deliver (non-negotiable)

You will submit leads in a spreadsheet with these exact columns:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Job Title
- Company Name
- Website URL
- Email Address
- Email Source (Website / Apollo / Hunter / etc.)
- LinkedIn URL (if available)

Notes (optional)
If your formatting is different, it slows me down, and I’ll decline the work.

**Quality standards (this is the whole point)
**Correct person (decision-maker, not random staff)
**Valid email (low bounce rate)
**No duplicates
**No “info@” emails unless I specifically say it’s okay
**You must list the source of the email
**Bad data wastes time and money. I’m picky on purpose.

Daily expectations
**50–100 verified contacts per day once you’re warmed up
**Quality first, always
**Consistency matters more than one big day
**We’ll start with a small test, then scale.

Requirements

You must have:
1. Experience doing lead research / contact finding / list building
2. Experience with at least one enrichment tool
3. Strong English (you don’t need perfect, just clear)
4. Reliable attention to detail

Bonus if you’ve supported:
Agencies
Consultants
Cold email teams

How to apply (read carefully)
To be considered, your proposal must include:
1. A short summary of your experience doing contact research
2. The tools you’ve used (Apollo/Hunter/etc.)
3. Your realistic daily output range
4. Include the word evergreen somewhere in your response (this is how I know you actually read this)

If you skip any of the above, I’m declining without replying.

Next step
Shortlisted applicants will get a small paid test task (quick and clear). If it’s clean, you’ll have ongoing work.

If you’re the type of person who takes pride in clean data and doing it right the first time, I want to work with you.

We are looking for a skilled cold caller to perform outreach to our new leads and potential clients. Your role will be to make a genuine human connection, engage with prospects, and help make sales.

You would also be very familiar with tracking data, and sending up insights we can use to improve our funnel. If you are passionate about connecting with people and have experience in telemarketing or sales, we want to hear from you!
