Ideal Candidate You should have experience in one or more of the following: * B2B lead generation * Business development * Sales development * Appointment setting * LinkedIn outreach * Cold email * Prospect research * SaaS/job board sales * Recruitment sales Experience working with sports organisations or the recruitment industry would be a major advantage, but is not essential.

What experience do you have in B2B lead generation or business development? 2. Have you worked with LinkedIn or cold email outreach? 3.

Important Please do not send a generic proposal. I will prioritise applicants who have clearly read the project and can explain exactly how they would approach generating employer customers for a specialist sports job board. I am looking for someone who wants to build a long-term working relationship, not simply complete a one-off lead list. If the initial trial is successful, there is potential for ongoing work, increased responsibility and performance-based commission. Please apply if you believe you can help us generate genuine employer customers for SportsJobFinder.

My skills in lead generation, business development, and online outreach strongly resonate with the requirements listed in your project description. Additionally, my proficiency in using LinkedIn and cold emailing for B2B engagement bolsters my candidacy. While I may not have specific experience related to sports organizations or job boards, my understanding of the web, coupled with my efficiency in researching and prospecting can be seamlessly transferred to any niche. Furthermore, I've worked on dashboards and automation projects which require meticulous organization and tracking just like maintaining a qualified prospect list.

For a budget of £150-200/month, I would aim to identify no less than 15-20 highly qualified prospects per week. Market intelligence will be key as we never know how an organisation operates or may Recruitment company work for them.I'll provide regular updated reports and a continuation beyond the initial 30-days trial period will only happen if I generate genuine opportunities as desired by you.

Hello There! I’m Md Toriqul Islam, an experienced B2B lead generation and business development specialist with 10+ years in prospect research, LinkedIn outreach, cold email, SaaS, and customer acquisition. I have some questions: 1) Which countries and sports should I prioritize during the initial 30-day trial? 2. Do you already have an outreach script, employer pricing, and CRM/tracking system in place? 3. Should outreach focus on organisations actively advertising vacancies, or also recurring sports employers? I understand the goal is quality-focused employer acquisition: identify genuine hiring organisations, reach decision-makers, generate conversations, and convert opportunities into paying customers. I am skilled in LinkedIn prospecting, cold email, lead qualification, web research, CRM, outreach campaigns, follow-ups, and weekly reporting. Within the £150–200 initial budget, I can build and contact a targeted prospect list with structured outreach and measurable weekly reporting, focusing on qualified opportunities rather than bulk leads.

Hi, Finding employers that regularly recruit sports staff is often less about volume and more about mapping hiring cycles and the right decision-makers so outreach converts rather than just adds noise. I will focus on organizations with recurring hiring patterns and clear HR or talent acquisition contacts to maximize responses for SportsJobFinder. I have delivered B2B lead generation and business development support for niche platforms and services, combining targeted LinkedIn research with cold email sequences and follow-ups that booked demo appointments and advertising deals. My background leading product and engineering teams included commercial outreach to partners for a payroll API integration and a mission-critical tax filing system, where I sourced and engaged technical and procurement stakeholders directly to close contracts. I will start by building a prioritized list of employers that regularly recruit sports staff, enrich contacts with decision-maker titles, and test two outreach templates: LinkedIn connection plus short pitch and a tailored cold email. I will track replies and adjust messaging based on response rates. - Would you like me to prioritize clubs, governing bodies, or education institutions first? - Do you prefer outreach logged in your CRM or a weekly spreadsheet and briefing? Feel free to reach out if you want to talk through next steps. Thomas Beigbeder

Hello Client, This is not an AI bid; this is a self response. Your soft launch needs targeted employer acquisition, not a generic database, so I would build a focused pipeline of sports organisations, identify hiring decision-makers, and coordinate disciplined outreach for SportsJobFinder. I can structure prospect research and reporting in Word, while WordPress familiarity helps me understand job-board workflows and employer-facing conversion points. I would segment clubs, academies, universities, governing bodies, and sports businesses, personalise LinkedIn and email messaging, track follow-ups, and report qualified opportunities weekly. I would also clearly document the requested answers and 30-day objectives, including realistic prospect volume, outreach activity, appointment goals, tools, and budget allocation, without overstating experience or results. I can begin by agreeing your target markets, ideal customer profile, outreach permissions, and success metrics, then deliver the first researched prospect segment within the opening week. Which countries, employer segments, and conversion target should define success during the initial 30-day paid trial? Best regards, Sahil

Hi, Your project focuses on B2B lead generation for a sports job platform, which involves integrating marketing data and appointment workflows. The main technical risk is ensuring reliable data flow and lead quality assessment across multiple systems to avoid low conversion rates or data inconsistencies. Although my background centers on AI-driven backend architectures and automation pipelines rather than PHP or SEO, I have extensive experience designing scalable data ingestion and processing systems that could inform robust lead data handling and integration. I typically design systems with clear separation between data ingestion, processing, and output layers to allow independent scaling and testing. For your use case, validating lead data quality and seamless integration with appointment setting workflows early will be critical. Ensuring reliable analytics and monitoring around lead generation pipelines can improve conversion tracking and system stability over time. I can start by outlining how to architect a reliable data ingestion and lead qualification pipeline tailored to your platform’s needs. Clifton
