## Deliverables
What I need:
I want to collect the names and addresses of members of a member based barter directory and have them entered into the attached excel file.
Explanation:
I am currently a member of the site and I will have to give you my login credentials to complete the project. Because I use it for my business, we need to make sure nothing bad can happen by extracting this data.
I am looking to collect data of only members in California. If the members in California is too long (meaning it would take too much time or resources) then we can narrow the search to the closest brokers to Los Angeles, CA. It will make more sense as you read on.
Once you have logged into the account, you will see a 'broker directory' link on the left side. If you narrow the search to California, there are about 17 brokers. If you click on one of the brokers and open their website specifically, you can click on the 'our members' link to get a categorical list of 80 different business types that the broker represents. Within each category (ie advertising) there could be multiple members. On categories that have multiple members, you have to click on the category (ie advertising) and then click on the specific member in that category to be taken to their member page. However, if there is only 1 member in that category, you will be taken directly to the member's page. Either way, it is the member's page where we need the data to be collected. Possible fields for the excel file attached are (these are all the possible fields that could be displayed as text on the members page, but not every member has each of these fields):
Business Name
Contact Name
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
City, State, Zip
Phone
Fax
Email Address
Website
Now I have no idea how many members are in each broker, but my preliminary estimations is there are 100 per broker. With 17 brokers thats about 1700 members records that need to be created.
Expertise:
I want someone that has done a project like this before. It would be nice if the process of collecting the addresses was automatic and not done manually. I am also worried about the server locking us out if some type of bot or robot is used. I use this account for my business so whatever methods you use must be under the radar.

Please make sure to answer the following questions in your reply. I will reject your proposal if you do not answer these questions or give me canned/pre-made/copy-pasted responses. I absolutely hate reading canned responses that waste my time and don't answer my questions:
1. What specific method will you use to accomplish this? Will it be manual, a robot/bot?
2. If you are going to use some type of automated script bot or robot, how are you going to prevent the system from logging us out or banning the account for suspicious activity? What methods can we use (like timer delays, etc) to prevent this?
3. Can you provide me with one (ONLY ONE) other project that you have done that is the closest in similarity to this data collection? I dont want to read through more than one, if you have more than one, please pick the best ONE.
4. I will need you to sign a NDA and a work for hire agreement. I need you to tell me your full company name, if its an llc, corp, sole proprietor, etc, and an executive or principal owner name. I will fill the NDA out and have you sign and return it to me.
Your response to this job should be no longer than 3 paragraphs which answer the questions above and provide other detail about the specifics of this project or questions you might have. Nothing else... remember canned responses=proposal rejection. Thanks for considering my job.
