Any success contacting seller’s brokers?

I reached out to a broker on a few businesses they had listed. I signed their NDA. Then after a few wasted emails he wanted a resume. Then send me other businesses when I specifically told him I’m interested in HVAC service. Have any of you had success will brokers?

I've had experience with several brokers and while never asked for a resume, the NDA and financial profile are standard. I agree with creating a website or one-pager to sell yourself more succinctly.
