🎯 Deal Sourcing Tips for Searchers
The sourcing playbook that worked five years ago no longer cuts through—PE firms are moving downstream, HoldCos are crowding inboxes, and AI-armed searchers are flooding owners with outreach. But the best opportunities still come from doing what everyone else won't. This guide reveals why most searchers quit too early (missing where the money actually is), which underutilized channel converts at 3-4x the rate of cold outreach, and the single change that makes sellers remember you when hundreds of others get deleted.
One veteran dealmaker's insight: "Personalization beats persistence. A single thoughtful email outperforms a hundred generic ones." The guide shows exactly how to build a multi-channel system that actually fills pipelines, why your deal structure matters more than price, and what successful searchers do in months 12-24 that separates them from those who quit. Includes specific percentages for time allocation across channels and the framework for approaching owners who've been bombarded with buyer emails.
