J. D. on 18/03/2010 08:26Good Morning
I have experience speaking to school heads within all schools, I was previously employed to appoint for a VOIP company and also a company that sells outside fabric structures to schools so I have experience in this, usually when data cleansing you get to find out quite a bit about the school as I find them ever so helpful, they may advise who their currrent security contractor is, when their contract is due to be renewed and if they have any issues with their current contractor, I would then usually ask them is there anything they would change about them etc etc.
I would be looking for an hourly rate and would also be interested to find out if I could earn a commission for any appointments booked when data cleansing?
I would be looking for an hourly rate though and can make between 80-120 calls per day.
Sometimes if a client is unsure then i would suggest using me for maybe 3 days initially and then we could review each calling day and to feedback on how that particualr session went.
i look forward to hearing from you.

J. A. on 18/03/2010 09:51Thanks for you email Jamie.
Firstly, Be clear, we only offer visible personel security. We do not offer CCTV, Alarm etc all that infrastructure stuff.
They are usually harder to sell, as the schools already would have a contract with a supplier for up to 5yrs at any one time..so dont waiste you effort there.
We offer soft face security, nothing too heavy. Our staff are usually Mothers or fathers who understands children and teenagers...
So initailly, I just want someone to tidy the spreedsheet and then if you are interested in following up on enquiries generated from the emailer then, we are happy to consider your bid.
Many thanks
B. H. on 18/03/2010 08:53Hello Jonathan,
Does the 0.5 pence per contact details include/exclude telephone costs?
Thank you.

J. A. on 18/03/2010 09:54We are hoping that the choosen freelancher will leverage all the competitive phone packages available out there. for example BT is free for any landline calls up to 1hrs..so we anticipate that a 10mins call should yield, the information we require.
if you have such phone line, then it cost you nothing really...

- Never pay any money to Clients and or provide sensitive details like your Bank information, Credit Card or Passwords
- Never accept a Job if you have been directed away from PeoplePerHour to another website
- Be cautious when providing your personal contact details (email, telephone number, instant message ID etc) before your Bid is accepted
- If you have been asked to send samples, put a watermark on them or send low resolution examples to avoid being exposed and not getting paid
- Don’t start work before your Bid is accepted and your Escrow deposit is made
- Keep your Escrow account topped up and ensure that you use the Private Message Board to track all pertinent details about the Job e.g. timelines, deliverables etc
- Before you supply final works to Clients, ensure you have adequate funds in Escrow
Remember: if something looks too good to be true, it probably is!
