VANDALUX is a new demand-led platform for hard-to-find, high-value and luxury items, currently preparing for pre-launch. I am looking for an experienced Seller Acquisition / Business Development professional for a small paid pilot focused exclusively on professional luxury sellers and dealers in the UK and EU, initially across luxury handbags, watches and fine jewellery. This is not a lead-list, generic lead-generation or mass-outreach project. The selected freelancer must personally handle the process end-to-end: independently identify and carefully select relevant professional sellers/dealers; research each target before contact; identify the appropriate decision-maker; conduct personalised outreach on behalf of VANDALUX using appropriate channels; follow up; handle initial responses; qualify genuine interest; track outreach and status; and hand relevant interested sellers over to the Founder. Quality and relevance are considerably more important than volume. Generic databases, scraped lists and automated high-volume outreach are not appropriate. The initial pilot will run for approximately 10–14 days with a deliberately controlled number of targets. VANDALUX will provide the necessary background, positioning and core materials. The freelancer will not negotiate or agree commercial terms, make commitments on behalf of VANDALUX, promise buyer demand or transaction volume, offer exclusivity, or represent that a seller has been formally selected. Substantive commercial discussions will be handed over to the Founder. Relevant experience in luxury/premium goods, luxury resale, handbags, watches, fine jewellery, professional dealers, wholesale/retail business development, marketplace seller acquisition or B2B partnerships is strongly preferred. Existing knowledge of the UK/EU professional luxury seller landscape is a significant advantage. WHEN APPLYING, PLEASE ANSWER: 1. What directly relevant experience do you have with luxury/premium sellers, dealers, retailers, wholesalers or marketplaces? 2. Have you personally handled target identification, research, actual outreach, follow-up and initial qualification? Please give one concrete example. 3. How would you identify suitable professional luxury sellers/dealers in the UK and EU beyond obvious Google results or generic databases? 4. Which UK/EU markets and which categories — handbags, watches or fine jewellery — are you strongest in? 5. Approximately how many carefully researched sellers could you realistically approach during a 10–14 day pilot? 6. How would you track responses and determine which sellers should be handed over to the Founder? 7. Please propose your fixed fee for the complete 10–14 day pilot and state what is included. Please do not apply if your service consists primarily of supplying lead lists or running automated mass outreach.

This pilot only works if the outreach feels selective and credible to luxury dealers, not like another lead-gen blast. The weak point in projects like this is usually poor targeting and generic messaging, so I’d keep the list deliberately tight, research each seller before contact, approach the right person with tailored outreach, and only pass over conversations that show real commercial fit. I’ve personally handled end-to-end outreach workflows where the job was not just finding names, but identifying the right businesses, researching them, initiating contact, following up, and qualifying interest before founder handover. For a premium-facing platform, that matters because tone, positioning, and seller relevance are what determine reply quality. To shape a realistic 10–14 day pilot, I’d like to align a few points first: - Which category is the sharpest starting point for you: handbags, watches, or fine jewellery? - Are UK sellers the first priority, or do you want the pilot split across specific EU markets as well? - Do you already have a preferred outreach channel mix, or should I choose based on seller type and responsiveness?

Hi, I can handle the full seller-acquisition process manually—from identifying suitable professional luxury sellers to researching decision-makers, personalised outreach, follow-ups, initial qualification, and tracking. My strength is B2B research and targeted outreach using LinkedIn, company websites, directories, Google, and other relevant sources. I can go beyond generic databases by checking each seller’s business, product focus, location, and suitability before contacting them. For a 10–14 day pilot, I would focus on a controlled number of high-quality UK/EU sellers rather than chasing volume, with clear tracking of contact status, responses, interest level, and handover opportunities. Fixed pilot fee: $50, including research, outreach, follow-ups, qualification, and reporting.

Most seller-acquisition freelancers will measure this pilot by how many luxury dealers they contact. VANDALUX is making the harder metric matter: how many of those contacts are genuinely relevant, reach the right decision-maker, and turn into qualified conversations. That’s the approach I’d take across the UK/EU. Rather than starting with generic databases, I’d build a focused prospect pool around established dealers and retailers in handbags, watches and fine jewellery, research their business and positioning, identify the actual decision-maker, then tailor the outreach accordingly. The 10–14 day structure also makes this a good pilot for testing which categories, markets and messaging generate the strongest seller interest. Every interaction can be tracked from initial research through follow-up and qualification, with commercially relevant conversations handed directly to the Founder. For the pilot, would you prefer the initial targeting to be spread across all three categories, or concentrated on the category where VANDALUX currently sees the strongest seller opportunity?.

Hi, I'm Stefan. This caught my attention mainly because I thrive in connecting with high-value luxury sellers and building meaningful relationships. I've navigated the luxury marketplace, focusing specifically on high-end handbags and fine jewellery, ensuring quality outreach over quantity. My hands-on experience means I can identify and engage the right sellers effectively. Here's how I'd approach it: ▸ First, I’d conduct in-depth market research to identify niche luxury sellers beyond basic online searches. ▸ I’d personalize outreach by tailoring messages based on each seller’s unique offerings and brand values. ▸ I’d track interactions meticulously, ensuring only the most promising leads are handed off to the Founder. I genuinely enjoy understanding the nuances of what clients are building and treating each project as if it were my own. A good idea doesn't get far sitting in a project description, so reach out and let's talk it through. Regards, Stefan.

The key here is not finding “luxury sellers”, it’s finding the right professional dealers who actually make sense for VANDALUX and reaching the decision-maker personally. i’d handle the seller research, target selection, personalised outreach, follow-ups and qualification, with every contact tracked clearly before anything is handed to the Founder. for the 10–14 day pilot, i can focus on a controlled number of high-fit UK/EU sellers across handbags, watches and fine jewellery rather than padding the numbers with

Being a Virtual Assistant with an eCommerce management focus, I've worked on several projects that intersect with your requirements for this position. For instance, managing product listings and overseeing retailer relationships have often been part of my purview. I deliver value through my knack for identifying quality suppliers and understanding market landscapes beyond the usual findings from a search engine. This unique perspective will be instrumental in capturing the right luxury sellers needed for VANDALUX. The heart of your project lies in personal touch, careful research, and meaningful evaluation - key areas I excel in. In one particularly relevant task, I was tasked with finding high-end fashion suppliers for an online boutique. I undertook a bespoke approach: sourcing sellers unsaturated by mass lists, conducting due diligence to ensure quality and reliability. Such attention to detail minimizes ambiguity and maximizes efficiency. In terms of UK/EU professional luxury seller landscape knowledge, my well-rounded experience gives me an advantage in navigating nuanced markets and specific categories like handbags, watches, and fine jewelry. For your pilot timeframe, I am confident in successfully prospecting and reaching out to approximately 50 vetted sellers per week, ensuring each contact gets appropriate follow-up within the pilot's timeline.

Hi, VANDALUX needs a small set of genuinely relevant UK/EU dealers who will respond, not a spreadsheet of unqualified contacts. I would research each seller’s category, authenticity position, location and decision-maker, then use a measured channel and personalised message. The failure point here is contacting retailers who do not handle professional resale, which wastes the pilot and damages trust. I would track every touch, response and qualification in a simple shared sheet, with time-zone aware follow-ups. My background is in structured market research, web data extraction and workflow automation, including work around large retail platforms. I have not personally managed luxury seller outreach, so I would not claim direct handbag, watch or jewellery acquisition experience. I could realistically research and approach 30–50 carefully selected sellers in 10–14 days. Fixed fee: €300, including research, outreach, follow-ups, tracking and qualified handovers. I have two questions: Q1: Which category and markets should receive priority? Q2: Will you provide approved messaging and a shared tracking format?

I bring 30+ years of retail/business experience, including senior leadership in premium fashion. As COO–Retail at Brandhouse Retails, my portfolio included Reid & Taylor, Belmonte, Carmichael House and international associations including Dunhill and OVS; I also oversaw three Dunhill stores. 1. My relevant experience is premium/luxury fashion, multi-brand retail and business development. My direct category strength is fashion rather than watches/jewellery. 2. I have personally identified, researched, approached and evaluated commercial prospects/partners throughout my corporate and entrepreneurial career, including building six Subway outlets. 3. For VANDALUX I would map specialist luxury resale/consignment businesses, boutiques, professional dealers, marketplace ecosystems, trade directories and specialist communities, then research each target individually. 4. I would cover the UK and key EU luxury markets. I do not claim an existing dealer network. 5. I propose 20–25 carefully researched sellers over 14 days, prioritising quality. 6. I will track target rationale, decision-maker, outreach/follow-ups, responses, qualification and handover status. 7. Fixed fee: €250, including research, target selection, personalised outreach, follow-up, initial qualification, tracking and Founder handover. Paritosh Jain

Hi, I’ve read your brief and I can help you with luxury seller acquisition and outreach. For your project, I’d recommend a tailored approach that focuses on high-quality, relevant sellers rather than mere volume. I can handle this from start to finish and keep you updated throughout the project. I have extensive experience working with luxury brands, particularly in the marketplace sector, where I’ve successfully identified and engaged premium sellers. For instance, I once targeted boutique watch dealers in the EU, conducting thorough research and personalized outreach, resulting in multiple partnerships. To identify suitable sellers, I leverage industry contacts, attend trade shows, and utilize niche platforms specific to luxury goods. I’m strongest in the luxury handbag market, but I also have solid connections in fine jewellery. I can realistically approach around 15 carefully researched sellers during the pilot. Tracking responses will involve a detailed spreadsheet to qualify interest and facilitate smooth handovers to the Founder. My fixed fee for the complete 10–14 day pilot is £2,000, which includes all outreach, follow-ups, and reporting. Send me a message and I’ll explain exactly how I’d approach your project. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY YOU DON'T PAY! Kind regards, Shain WWD Digital Solutions

I can handle a focused 10–14 day seller-acquisition pilot with careful research, personalised outreach, follow-up, qualification, and clear tracking. My background is in B2B lead generation, local-business outreach, sales conversations, and organising prospect status for handoff. I would identify UK/EU dealers through trade associations, specialist marketplaces, brand-authorised networks, retailer directories, and social research—not scraped lists or mass automation. I would focus first on handbags and watches, with fine jewellery as a secondary category, and approach about 20–30 well-qualified sellers during the pilot. I will record source, decision-maker, contact channel, response, qualification notes, and next step in a shared tracker, handing warm prospects to the Founder. Fixed fee: €220 for the complete 14-day pilot, including research, outreach, follow-ups, qualification, tracking, and handoff.
