I have an Excel file with roughly 20,000 contact records that must be immaculate before it reaches our CRM. The task goes well beyond a basic trim-and-sort: • Detect and merge true duplicates, repair any corrupted fields, and remove bad or placeholder data. • Verify every conflicting name, company, and job title against LinkedIn (full access on your side is required). • Prioritise email addresses: run them through ZeroBounce or an equivalent premium service and supply the full verification report. I expect an error-free, import-ready spreadsheet and a clear audit log showing the actions you took—duplicate merges, suppressed rows, and the final bounce-rate summary. Accuracy outweighs speed, but the entire job needs to be wrapped up within 3–4 days and handled by you alone, no outsourcing or last-minute credit shortages. When you place your bid, include a brief note on similar large-scale data-cleaning or CRM migration projects you’ve completed, the verification tools you used, and how you ensured a deliverable that was accepted on first upload.

Hi there, I understand you need to transform a 20,000-record contact database into a fully validated, CRM-ready dataset by combining meticulous data cleansing, LinkedIn verification, and premium email validation. I am confident I can deliver an import-ready spreadsheet with complete traceability, ensuring maximum data accuracy and first-pass CRM acceptance. My approach will be to systematically identify and merge true duplicates, repair inconsistent or corrupted fields, standardize formatting, and remove invalid or placeholder records while preserving data integrity. I'll verify conflicting names, companies, and job titles against LinkedIn, then validate email addresses using ZeroBounce or an equivalent premium verification service, categorizing valid, invalid, catch-all, and risky emails. Every change will be documented in a detailed audit log covering duplicate merges, corrected fields, suppressed records, and the final email verification summary, ensuring complete transparency before import. How would you like conflicts handled when LinkedIn information differs from the existing spreadsheet for example, should the latest LinkedIn data always take precedence, or would you prefer those records flagged for your review? I'm ready to start immediately. Warm Regards, Aneesa.

Hi, With 20,000 CRM contacts, the real risk isn't duplicates — it's merging the wrong people and damaging otherwise valid data. I can clean and deduplicate the database, manually investigate conflicting names, companies and titles through LinkedIn, and validate emails using ZeroBounce or an equivalent premium service. I’ll also provide the verification report and a clear audit log of every merge, suppression and final bounce summary. My workflow includes staged validation and final import checks before delivery to minimise first-upload errors. I can handle the project personally and complete it within 3–4 days. Which CRM will the final file be imported into?

Hello, I'm Jordan from Tequila, Mexico. I understand you need your 20,000 contact records cleaned, deduplicated, and validated to ensure the database is accurate and ready for use. I've worked extensively with Data Processing and Data Integration across CRM systems, building custom solutions that identify duplicates, merge records, and validate contact information through Web API integrations. My experience includes automating data quality workflows and ensuring datasets meet strict accuracy standards before they're deployed in production environments. Here's how I'll handle this project: - Parse and analyze your contact file to identify duplicate entries based on email, name, and other key fields - Build a deduplication process that merges records intelligently while preserving the most complete and recent information - Integrate email validation APIs to verify deliverability and flag invalid addresses What criteria should I prioritize when merging duplicate records—most recent entry, most complete data, or a specific field hierarchy? I can start immediately once you share the file and any specific validation or merge rules you'd like applied. Please message me here on Freelancer with the details, and I'll have a clean, validated database ready for you quickly. Best regards, Jordan

I’ve cleaned and deduplicated 15K+ CRM records with ZeroBounce, OpenRefine, and Python scripts for a SaaS migration—delivered import-ready with full audit logs accepted on first upload. I’ll parse the Excel, normalize names, companies, and titles, then cross-match against LinkedIn API for conflicts. Duplicates will merge via fuzzy matching (python-Levenshtein, 90%+ threshold), corrupted fields repaired with regex patterns, and placeholder data flagged for suppression. All emails route through ZeroBounce bulk API; bounce-rate summary and suppression list included. I’ll run parallel processing to stay within 3–4 days, no outsourcing, no credit shortages.
