Job Details

Category: Admin/Secretarial > Database Management
ID: 9552
Title: Database Creation for Direct Mail Campaign
Location: Remote

Job Description

Have list of circa 16,500 company names, but no contact details. Want to create direct mail campaign to write to each company, and need experienced market researcher to populate database.

Work needs to be completed within 6 weeks of project starting. Requires full-time commitment as phone calls will need to be made to many of the companies to obtain contact names. Please include the cost of these phone calls in your bid so that they do not have to be reimbursed seperately.

Experience of similiar work is essential, as is its documentation with feedback from this website.

All work will be checked to ensure it is precise and not rushed prior to any payment being made

For each company I need to ascertain

1. Full correspondence address ( registered address not wanted, only acceptable if correspondence address not available at all- this will be checked)
2. Named contact to write to- full name and salutation ( in many cases this is only obtainable by phoning them
3. Job title of named contact

Data will be supplied and should be returned in MS Excel format.

Data should be sorted according to whether address is correspondence or registered office, and whether named contact is supplied.

In your bids please state

- what experience you have of similiar work
- How long it will take to complete the work to a high standard
- Whether you can do it on a full-time basis

Hi Jeremy

Can you please clarify roughly what percentage of the companies will require phone calls? You say "many" - if we assume 50%, based on a 5 day week, you're looking at 275 calls per day! If we assume 10p per call, that's £27.50 per day - which is £825 of your budget. That's assuming anyone can make 275 calls per day.

This stands for On-Target-Earnings and it indicates the amount the Freelancer can expect to earn if they meet the set targets. OTE is calculated as follows

Base Fee for the same time period: this is the fee Freelancer will get paid regardless of results e.g. £10 per hour for 50 hours a month = £500
+
Results Fee: targets x result fee (e.g. £5000 monthly sales x 50% commission = £2500 per month)

Total OTE =  £500 + £2500 = £3000/month

Please note that for the purpose of this calculation the following is used: 1 day = 8 hours, 1 week = 5 days and 1 month = 20 working days
