Does anyone have suggestions or lessons learned from hiring, defining and managing lead generation projects through Upwork? Thanks.

I echo Aaron's feedback 1000%. Triple do for the first month or so, then pick the best one, and do that a few times a year to re-calibrate. It's more efficient to pay for triple-dos than using your time to heavily vett (which will be inaccurate anyway)

Aaron Burch beat me to the punch. You hit it dead on Aaron. This applies to many different skills needed and not just lead gen. You will find some really bad Upwork options so look for well reviewed ones and people with experience.
