All: I'd love to talk sourcing strategies—especially if you're searching in areas where populations are less dense and for companies that are less likely to have a salient online profile. md

I have some experience with these areas in the Midwest. It all really depends on how you look -> quite often I find that even though a company doesn't have a website, they have a Google Maps or Facebook Page.

I am still having trouble figuring out how to get introductions to business owners who are started to consider an exit and have not yet engaged a broker. I know stats suggest their are a ton of business owners approaching retirement age and we know many do care about their legacy. I'm just not sure how to connect with these people and who they connect with in their business life that might foster those introductions.
