Off-market owner outreach — for acquirers and M&A advisors
April 26, 2026
by a searcher from Florida Gulf Coast University in Miami, Florida, United States
Whether you're a searcher trying to find off-market businesses to buy, or a broker looking to source owners to represent, the bottleneck is the same: getting in front of owners who aren't already on a list everyone else has.
I run a turnkey AI cold outreach system built for exactly that — the same setup I've used to open conversations with owners from $2M to $80M in revenue.
Fully white-glove. Branded under your firm. Live in 24 hours after signing.
Who this is for
- Searchers and acquirers sourcing off-market sellers in a defined buy-box
- M&A brokers and sell-side advisors building a pipeline of owners to represent
- Independent sponsors, family offices, and small PE running thesis-driven outreach
If your day-to-day depends on getting owner conversations started, this is built for you.
How it works
I procure 5 burner domains styled to match your real one (they redirect to your site, so branding stays clean) and run 20 mailboxes across them. Total send capacity: 500 emails/day, scaling to 1,500/day if you want more volume.
Every campaign is built on a list of 6,000–8,000 owners, scraped, verified, and filtered to your target — NAICS code, revenue band, employee count, geography. AI writes the personalized first line referencing the actual business; you approve the body copy before anything goes out.
Reply management is included either way:
- You handle replies through a single OneBox dashboard, or
- I handle replies— qualifying, nurturing, and booking calls straight to your calendar
Two-week warm-up, then live campaigns with weekly reporting.
What to realistically expect
- 30–50% open rates
- 3–8% reply rates
- 10–20 qualified owner conversations per month at base volume
Numbers vary by industry and how tight your criteria are. Tighter criteria = lower volume but higher quality.
Pricing (USD)
**500/day** — $1,995 setup + $1,995/month
**1,000/day** — $2,995 setup + $2,995/month
**1,500/day** — $3,995 setup + $3,995/month
Two-month minimum (10 weeks total, including warm-up). No long-term lock-in. Scale up mid-campaign with a week's notice.
What I need from you
- Target criteria — NAICS/SIC codes, revenue band, employee count, geography
- Mailbox name preferences (your team's first/last names)
- General call availability if you want me handling inbound replies
