Verified lists, not scraped noise

Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. For context, marketplace freelancers on Upwork sit around a $13 an hour median with one-off task quality, while 2026 cost guides put managed remote staff at $640 to $2,400 a month full time (Zedtreeo, Wishup). AssistBPO prices per named researcher for a block of hours, not per record, so there is no incentive to pad a list with unverified names.

Every email is verified with a tool and every phone number is checked for format and, where the plan allows, by a test dial to the switchboard. We report the estimated bounce rate on each batch and collect real bounce and wrong-number feedback from your callers on the weekly review. When a source starts producing bad records, the researcher drops it. Monthly re-verification of a random sample keeps the numbers honest.

No. Bulk scraping produces stale, duplicated and often unlawfully processed data. The researcher builds lists from directories, registries, company websites, LinkedIn profiles viewed manually, trade bodies and reputable data tools, one record at a time, checking each against your brief. Slower per record, far cheaper per meeting, and defensible when someone asks where their details came from.

B2B prospecting is lawful in every market we serve when it is done properly. For UK and EU contacts we record the lawful basis, usually legitimate interest, and note the source and date so you can respond to a request. PECR and TPS screening apply before calls. In Canada, CASL needs express or implied consent before a commercial email, so we flag which records qualify for implied consent and which need another route. Australian lists are washed against the Do Not Call Register.

Standard fields are name, title, company, email, direct and switchboard phone, LinkedIn URL, location, company size, industry and website. Enrichment on request covers technology in use, funding or growth signals, hiring activity, recent news, parent company and any custom field your sequences personalize on. The record template is agreed in onboarding so every batch imports cleanly into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or Zoho.

We keep research and outreach as separate skills, but they can sit in one pod. A researcher builds and scrubs the list; an appointment setter or SDR from the same desk works it with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing, and the two share one weekly review. For a small team the researcher can also load sequences and manage replies, with calling handled by the setter.

It depends on how hard the segment is to find and how many fields you need. A straightforward segment with standard fields produces far more per day than a niche segment needing direct dials and trigger events. We agree a weekly target in onboarding, check it against the first week's output and adjust. The weekly review shows records per segment so you can trade volume for depth where it matters.

Discovery to a named proposal is 72 hours. The search brief, record template and tool setup take two to three days, and a 50-record sample lands for your review inside the first week. Full production follows your sign-off on the sample, so most clients have their first campaign-ready batch within two weeks of the discovery call.
