Ryan, if you're looking for a good resource, I suggest you read Buy then Build. The question of business outreach comes up and when dealing with a broker it gives you insights into being a "good buyer". Additionally, questions that you might want to ask a business owner are in there. Finally, if you're reaching out cold to a business owner that isn't actively selling their business you might find their idea of the company's valuation to be prohibitively high. Buy then Build addresses this as well.
