Research Email Addresses

My business is developing nicely and I'm going to have to outsource some of the work. This is relatively simple stuff and would suit someone who is happy to pick up the phone to named UK businesses, obtain the email address of the person ultimately responsible for sales (sales manager or director), accurately enter that email address on an Excel spreadsheet, and send the completed spreadsheet back to me.

I will provide an Excel spreadsheet with 5 completed columns: web address; company name; telephone number; postcode; and brief description of business. I need someone who can phone the company; obtain a named email contact (as described above) and accurately enter that email address in the 6th column. Once the sheet is complete you email it back to me - and the job is complete.

The initial pilot scheme will be for 50 companies and in the perfect world I'd like 50 completed email addresses - but having done this myself I appreciate not everyone gives out email addresses and accept 100% success is not possible. If the pilot scheme works out and I get the quality I want at a fair price I will look to outsource all of this work.

Timescales will be flexible - I plan fairly well ahead and will always send work out in small batches (50 for the pilot scheme but probably batches of 100 ongoing). I used to fit this work in between other tasks so it might spread over several days - I have no problem with this, you can fit it in to suit your availability but obviously you'll need to find the time between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday otherwise companies will not be there to answer the phone. You do not need to talk to the contact, if you can get the email address off the switchboard then that's all I need.

Ideally I'd like a 'price per email address obtained' - this makes it simple. You quote a price per address and I pay for work completed. I will not penalize you financially for emails that bounce back because they are wrong but if the quality is poor I'd need to look for an alternate solution.

I'd like to get the pilot scheme completed as soon as possible - the data sheet is ready to go out.
