Paid on delivery

I'm building an flight travel reservation business and need someone to fully manage supplier discovery and validation. Do NOT apply if you're only a software developer or API integrator. Your responsibility is to contact suppliers, host agencies, consolidators, and travel technology companies on my behalf and determine whether my business model is supported. Deliverables Identify suitable global suppliers/host agencies. Contact them directly (email/calls/meetings). Explain my business model honestly. Verify whether they explicitly allow reservation-only travel services. Verify ADM responsibility. Verify account suspension/ban policy. Verify hold duration (TTL). Verify API or portal availability. Compare costs, deposits, and commercial terms. Recommend the best option with supporting evidence (emails, documents, meeting notes). No assumptions or internet research. Every conclusion must come directly from supplier communication. Proposal Requirements Answer only these questions: Have you worked in airline distribution, GDS, or travel partnerships? If yes, where? Have you personally negotiated supplier or consolidator partnerships? Describe one similar project you've completed. Can you contact suppliers directly and manage this process from start to finish? Generic AI-written proposals will be ignored.

With experience in airline distribution and GDS, I've successfully negotiated supplier partnerships for travel businesses. Your project aligns perfectly with my expertise. Can you provide insights on the preferred communication channels for contacting suppliers efficiently? Regards, mundadiya

Hello dear, While my background is primarily in supplier sourcing and business partnerships rather than airline distribution, I'm experienced in identifying potential partners, contacting them directly, evaluating commercial terms, and documenting findings with clear recommendations. I've managed supplier communication, negotiated commercial terms, and coordinated projects from initial outreach through final decision-making. I can handle this process from start to finish—contact suppliers, schedule meetings, verify your required points directly with them, and provide documented evidence for every conclusion. If my approach aligns with what you're looking for, I'd be happy to discuss your business model in more detail. Best regards, Muzamil Sadiq

1. I haven't worked directly in airline distribution or GDS, but I have experience in business research, lead generation, and professional B2B communication. 2. I haven't personally negotiated airline consolidator partnerships, but I have experience communicating with businesses, gathering requirements, and coordinating discussions. 3. I've worked on research-focused projects where I identified potential partners, contacted businesses, collected verified information, and presented structured reports for decision-making. 4. Yes. I can manage supplier outreach from start to finish, maintain clear communication, document every response, and provide evidence including emails, meeting notes, and comparison reports.
