Happy to discuss. We did a successful & quite narrow geographic search. I’m a big believer in geographic searches. Feel free to email me at [redacted] to set up a time to chat.

Hi Greg, I am currently considering going for a either a broad or narrow search. Would you mind me reaching out as well?

The more narrow your search (especially if you are not already known by your target companies) the bigger benefit you will get by building relationships with sources of referral to potential sellers. Heavy online presence, too, helps. (Everyone Googles everyone to screen them; everyone Googles me. Expect it.)

I'm limiting my search to a few cities and have spoken to many searchers who did a geographically limited search. Happy to chat about what I've learned, email me at [redacted]

Our search is limited to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE, but the focus is definitely on Dubai. Happy to discuss - [redacted]

We have used LI Sales Navigator successfully to laser target specific geos. Assume your already using this?

Sales navigator is the cornerstone of our sourcing in Dubai. The response rates are much higher than direct outreach and the response times for most of our owners were pretty good.
