Dear Freelancer: I am a busy exporter from The United States. Before going any further, please review the attached documents to make sure you are comfortable working with them. This Project has two parts: Part 1. Provide high-quality Product and Market Research (i.e. supply and demand trends, pricing trends, etc.) for a particular agricultural product. (I will reveal the product, and the three markets to research, one of which is the USA, to the chosen freelancer). Your work will be checked. Please be sure to be thorough, resourceful, accurate and demonstrate solid writing skills. Please see attachment one. Note: inserting hyperlinks and references is expected so that more reading can be done. Part 2. Find as many reputable vendors based in The United States that produce and/or export the Product. My target is 300 vendors, and if you can locate that many, you will be compensated nicely. However, do not force things by including low quality or scam companies because they will all be assessed. You need to be above average with MS Excel to complete Part 2. Please see attachment two which contains the information required for each vendor. Please note that the spreadsheet MUST remain in .CSV format. IMPORTANT: Do not modify the column names in the spreadsheet in any way. They are set-up correctly for data import into a program. Project Summary: Part 1: Research the Product to become familiar with it. Research the product specifications provided as they may be helpful in identifying vendors that specialize in the exact product. Research three given Markets for recent and current conditions. Part 2: Find as many reputable vendors based in The United States that produce and/or export the Product. The more, the better, however, do not sacrifice quality for quantity. Go back to Part 1 attachment to add notes about finding vendors. *Exporting is a very competitive industry. As such, all information you provide will become proprietary to me and is not to be shared with anyone else **Please see attachment 2 for helpful tips included to help you work smarter and not harder. Also, this video will reduce manual data entry into the spreadsheet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZSR8DA01jQ I look forward to seeing your proposal. Satisfactory performance on this Project may lead to steady ongoing work of the activities should you be interested in it. I will make sure to answer any questions you may have. Thanks! Edward

Here is how I plan to make this equitable while maximizing quality. I am a big fan of incentivization. You will have to be comfortable with some risk/reward. I would like to base it on value, and the amounts will sometimes be higher on future projects if this first project goes well: $15 USD for Market Research in the exporting country (USA) and the two potential importing countries (the report) $5USD base to start finding reputable USA based suppliers, wholesalers, or exporters (spreadsheet) So $20 USD guaranteed amount. +$5 USD per 100 reputable USA based suppliers, wholesalers, or exporters in spreadsheet +5 USD per additional 100 reputable USA based suppliers, wholesalers, or exporters in spreadsheet, with limit of 400 total So potential for up to $20 more Here is the cool part, but it will take time and trust: If I negotiate and find the lowest exporting price for the product, I will give you an additional $20 USD If I successfully enter into an Agreement with a USA based supplier, wholesaler, or exporter you found, I will give you $200 USD Summary: $20 USD guaranteed earnings + $20 potential value-added earnings after I review work. If due to your effort and value I make this deal, you could potentially get $220 USD more, for a max total of $260 USD. What do you think?
