Cold Mail/Email Message

by a searcher from Rice University - Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business

Hi All,

I wanted to get thoughts on messages for sending mail or email messages to business owners seeing if they'd be willing to sell. I would also really appreciate if someone was willing to share an example of a message that they've sent or the resources they used to develop a good message. Did anyone have especially high success rates and if so, what do you think your differentiator was? Lastly, what's a good way to streamline data collection for the owners name and/or information? Thanks for your help!

The best differentiator is to be unique and a person. When I do that in my communication, it usually gets responses or clicks. I usually do over email or social media, no need for mail yet. In terms of data sources, that depends on what your thesis is. What type of business are you looking for?
