Hello all,

Do you you an email template to contact business brokers and intermediaries?
What are the important elements to mention in an introductory email?
Or do you go ahead and ask for a meeting directly?

Sabri: The comments from Jeff and Russ make sense. The only item I would add is the following: 99% of all searchers use substantially the same intro email. I would spend more time thinking about what you could do slightly differently than what everyone else is doing. I see 5 to 10 emails introducing search vehicles each month. Over the last few years, there have only been a handful that made me want to go to the website or have a conversation. Being exactly like the rest will not help you make an impact and will result in a ton of wasted time and effort on your end.

For an introductory email, I would suggest mentioning your firm's name, what you do, and the profile of the firms that you are planning to invest in. Additionally, you should attach a presentation of your fund and ask for a call.
