Hello,
We are looking for suggested tips how to generate deal flow by directly contacting Business owners. 
To be clear, we are aware of working with business brokers, etc, but are specifically interested in learning methods to to directly contact small to medium size business owners.
We are interested in business with $600,000 - $1,500,000 EBITDA.
I am also familiar with LI Sales Navigator, but would sincerely appreciate other options. Regarding Sales Navigator, if you have an option to create a funnel using this option or another would like to discuss the specifics.
If you are interested in having a call, let's arrange to talk.
TIA for your suggestions!

Hey brother long time no talk. You could always just outsource it too by the way to people who are already doing it all day every day. Building out your own infrastructure is pretty time and money consuming.
