Contest Brief

I need someone to search the web and find names of companies who USE Six Sigma techniques and names of training companies, consultants, schools, universities and professional societies who TEACH Six Sigma techniques. I suspect there is something in the neighborhood of 10,000 such companies. Prefer North America, Canada, Central and South America and Europe. Not interested in Asia or Middle East.

I need the company name, whether they are a user or trainer, and a valid email address (necessary) and optionally phone number and mailing address for someone involved in selling Six Sigma training (if a provider) or buying it (if a user)

Priority (1 is highest)
1 usable entries if they include email, phone, company and contact name and mailing address
2 usable entries if they include phone, company and contact name and address
3 usable entries if they include only a company and contact name and phone number
4 usable entries if they include company name and mailing address

Project in in 2 phases: You are bidding on phase 1 where I want a sample of at least 50 with the above information to prove that you can do this. I will evaluate the usefulness of the entries with the priorities above. I will check the quality of them by contacting a random sample. If at least 80% of them are valid, and you have described how you will do this and your qualifications well, I will award a second phase to the winner to find all of the rest. If I find fake data I will throw out the entry. Please include your estimate of a price for the full job if you win the contest. The full job is to find all of the approximately 10,000 of them that you can. If you are able to estimate how many can be found, please include that volume estimate with your submission.

Deliver results in an Excel spreadsheet with name, email, phone, address each in separate field, one record per company. Add a field for supplier or user. Add a field for any notes you want. If multiple emails or phone numbers, add fields for those or use separate records. Doesn't matter to me. I need to see 20 unique companies for your entry to count however. If you have five records for one company because you think you have five contact names there, that will count as one company out of the 20 I need to be a valid entry.

Good luck and feel free to ask questions.

It was never a copy paste type contest for me.. I was more into relying onto evidences,articles & company press releases talking about 6 sigma and finding the depts. too. anyways do let me know if you wan details of the rest of those 6 sigma companies. most of them were already copy pasted and given to you by my competitor.. I was trying to be more precise and local though...

  I just looked at my project description and it does say I need companies who both use and supply this skill. Both are in capital letters. :-) Although I didn't use the word 'user' in my brief I did say I need companies who use it. Same thing.

As He said I guess he is right that is what the FAQs and other links on Google say... Can you grab a few out of my snapshot .. may be about 10 of them (20%) and randomly check them. Both of my entries *combined* show the entire file I will submit. I know it is not User-friendly but what other options do we have?
