Four acquirers. Four industries. The same outcome: motivated off-market sellers on the calendar without brokers, listings, or shared infrastructure.

B2B Services
Southeast US

A solo searcher targeting owner-operated B2B service businesses in the Southeast. The goal was simple: get qualified seller conversations on the calendar fast, without relying on brokers or paying a finder's fee on every meeting.

Within the first 14-day inbox warmup period, infrastructure was fully dialed in. Month 1 launched with 20,000 sends against a tightly filtered lead set — industry, geography, and revenue range matched to the buyer's box before a single email went out.

Three LOIs in four months. Every meeting was a direct reply — no broker in the middle, no shared platform, no one else's reputation on the infrastructure.

Manufacturing
Midwest US

A search fund targeting light manufacturing businesses in the Midwest. The acquirer had a clear buy box — EBITDA range, owner-operated, and no PE-backed targets. Broad platforms and business brokers weren't surfacing the right profile at volume.

The campaign filtered to manufacturing-coded SIC codes, constrained by geography and employee count. Month 1 outperformed projections on positive reply rate, with 13 replies converting to 11 booked meetings before the end of the first 30 days.

Distribution
National

A PE firm running a distribution roll-up strategy with a national scope. The challenge: finding owner-operators willing to have a conversation in a fragmented, relationship-driven industry where most dealflow comes through intermediaries.

The campaign targeted distribution-coded businesses across multiple geographies simultaneously. With dedicated infrastructure and properly warmed inboxes, Week 1 alone produced 9 qualified seller conversations — and the cost-per-meeting came in well below any alternative channel the firm had previously used.

Home Services
Texas

A search fund pursuing home services acquisitions in Texas — a competitive market with high broker activity. Most brokered deals in the segment come with inflated multiples and thin margins. The acquirer wanted direct access to owners before they'd engaged anyone.

The campaign launched with a Texas-constrained home services filter. Within 14 days of the first send, the first owner reply came in. Month 1 generated 61 total replies — 31% positive, representing owners who were open to a conversation on their timeline, not a broker's.
