My role: Email Collection and Cleaning up the sheet
Project description:
The client provided me with a list of around 13k leads that haven't email included. He asked to collect their valid emails and clean up the list.
After getting the list I started collecting emails from each lead using my experience and paid tools. Many of them haven't any email found so skip them. After collecting emails I verify each email and then send it to my client. I also cleaned up the list removed bad emails, corrected first names, and removed unwanted words from person names and company names.
After getting the complete and error-free list my client was pleased with my work.

Let’s connect and discuss how I can take the weight off your shoulders so you can focus on the big picture!
Tips for your Upwork Profile:
Professional Photo: Use a high-quality headshot with good lighting and a neutral background.
Portfolio: Even if you are a "General" VA, upload samples of organized spreadsheets, a Canva-designed presentation, or a sample project plan.
Testimonials: If you’ve worked with clients outside of Upwork, use the "Request a Testimonial" feature to build early social proof.
Stop wasting money on bounced emails! 📧❌
Most people think Lead Generation is just copy-pasting from LinkedIn. It’s not. In 2026, if your bounce rate is over 5%, your email domain gets blacklisted.
Here is my 3-step "Human-in-the-loop" process for 100% accuracy:
1️⃣ The AI Fetch: I use advanced tools to find the initial data points.
2️⃣ The SMTP Check: I ping the mail server directly to see if the inbox is active—without sending an email.
3️⃣ The Manual Match: I cross-reference names with recent company news to ensure no one has changed jobs.
The result? A lead list that actually converts.
P.S. If you're a fellow freelancer struggling with bounce rates, drop a 'HELP' in the comments and I’ll share my favorite free verification tool!
