I need a researcher to curate a highly targeted list of partnership contacts for my sports-creator brand. The focus is strictly basketball every lead must be relevant to that niche. Scope: - Platforms: LinkedIn (Sales Navigator or similar) for profile discovery, paired with reliable email verification tools (Hunter, Apollo, NeverBounce, or similar) - Geography: worldwide — what matters is decision-making authority and brand fit Who you'll be finding: - Professional basketball teams (front-office staff handling sponsorships or community outreach) - Equipment manufacturers - Companies aligned with basketball culture: apparel, gaming, technology, footwear, supplements, and beverage brands Deliverables: 1. Spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel) containing: - First & last name - Role / title - Company - LinkedIn profile URL - Verified work email (zero-bounce or similar status) - Country / city 2. Brief notes column explaining why each contact is a suitable partnership fit **Acceptance criteria:** - Minimum 95% email deliverability score - No generic info@ or sales@ addresses - At least 200 unique contacts to start; a 20-row sample will be reviewed before scaling Turnaround: - Initial sample within 48 hours - Full list within 5 days of sample approval To apply, let me know: - Any clarifying questions - Which tools you plan to use for sourcing and verification Since this scope is now basketball-specific rather than the original 7-vertical structure, I should rebuild the spreadsheet. Each list separate for Pro Teams, Equipment Manufacturers, Apparel, Gaming, Technology, Footwear, Supplements, and Beverage, in United States

"Hi there. This is an interesting project. Before anything else, one area I'd pay particularly close attention to is the need for separate lists for various basketball-specific sectors like Pro Teams, Equipment Manufacturers, Apparel, Gaming, Technology, Footwear, Supplements, and Beverage in the United States. Ensuring accurate segmentation can enhance targeted outreach and partnership success rates. To ensure precise results, I plan to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator for profile discovery and Hunter for email verification. My approach aims for quality leads with a high email deliverability score. One critical question: Would you prefer a consolidated list for all sectors or individual lists for each category for easier management and tracking? Looking forward to engaging. Even if we don't end up working together, you'll still walk away with valuable insights from our discussion. Regards, Riyaaz"
