Feedback on inquires received...
Hello everyone! I received an inquiry and with this one it’s now two direct prospects that I have who came to me.
Since I am new in this industry, I’m not familiar with the way prospect clients approach their inquiry to a VA so…I have my doubts concerning what their plans are.
This particular one intrigues me. I received an inquiry, which I think is great!!! But, I’m finding myself thinking that these people are just goofs. Even my boyfriend thinks so. Maybe that is how it works in the VA industry when it is not from a referral or someone you know, but it sure does sound funny. So… I am copying what the prospect wrote so I can get some feedback from you since you have dealt with clients, inquires, etc.
I will be updating on this and other things going on in my thread but would like to know… How does this sound to you?

I have a great deal of work I need done in a variety of field types. I would like to propose the following initial task-set for evaluation. This will be based on quality of work, value of work provided (cost analysis), and efficiency of work provided (speed). The bid on request will be for such.
I need results from research (any form, just relevant and to-date) as follows; 1)general info (1 page give or take) on the biochemical theory/process behind what makes wine, in particular, quality high alcohol content red wine, go bad,
2) what is the average life expectancy of a wine (both white and red) and what determines this (if anything.. such as alcohol content, sugar content etc),
3) are there research studies on the subject of wine turning bad (if so, please pull the top 2),
4) are there any products in the market specifically targeted to this except for the vacuum pump sealer (if so, please pull a list of them and their websites and/or contact information,
5)what is the biochemical process and or theory (no chemical equations necessary) on why avocados do not turn brown easily if part of the peel is stored with the cut fruit (if so please pull 2 of the most relevant),
6)is there any clinical or market research on veterinarian interest or posted need by vets for animal (dog) nutritional supplements (vitamins) and if so please provide the top 5 most relevant and largest # of opinions)
7) what is the most popular or utilized publication viewed by veterinary medicine doctors
8) Is there a database or list serve of some sort to reach a very large # of these doctors for a survey
9) What are the names of the most cited authors of nutrition and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD) and their contact information if possible
10)I need to find recent (2006-2008) journal articles or other publications (not just stuff on a website but quality data from research etc) of the link between nutrition and ADD/ADHD including but not limited to nutritional deficiencies, allergies (food allergies in particular), yeast infections, and what supplementation (may be several different lists) is recommended by leaders in the field (please site references)
10) Lastly, please research any articles or research on the cost of wine loss for restaurants (US) serving wines by the glass (with references).
Thank you for the bid (per hour and per listed project).
If you think this is real, do you think he wants a summary of what the sites say? Because meaning that he wants to know about the sites, it would probably take two hours to find him a good set of sites. But if he wants a summary of the most “relevant” as he mentions I would also appreciate some feedback on how long it could take (hours). It just sounds funny to me due to the list the prospect is giving.
