Question
My idea is leveraging a person's social/professional network for warm leads.
Basically if you're looking to do business abroad and you need a local to connect you with qualified, vetted people/agencies/clients/leads/distributors/factories on the ground, you can hire a local agent in your selected industry and request x number of leads in certain industry or just ask them to do on the ground tasks for you instead of flying there or sending an employee. You can choose to pay per lead or per deal closed.
How can I validate if there's demand for this service?
Does this already exist? Direct or indirect competitors?
Answer
Yes, this idea already exists. Platforms such as Bark.com and Spetz already offer the same exact thing you are trying to create. Both platforms create ads via social media platforms and drive leads to their landing pages whereby that will be available for freelancers and agencies on the backend to purchase for a credit. That however, doesn't mean you shouldn't launch. We will be able to leverage on their mistakes which I have noticed from directly using their platforms.
