20 M&A Sales Opportunities Worth €3.6M in 6 Months

Background

The company is a leading M&A specialist in the DACH market with a team of 11 to 50 employees. It supports mid-sized companies with strategic advisory, identifying potential buyers and investors, and successfully executing company acquisitions and sales.

The Challenge

Before the strategic realignment, most sales opportunities came from personal networks and referrals, which created a strong external dependency in sales. This left the company vulnerable to market fluctuations and limited its growth potential. The goal was to establish a systematic, scalable way to generate qualified sales opportunities.

1. 1Dependence on existing network connections
2. 2External dependency in sales
3. 3Growth potential limited by the reach of the network

The Solution

Data-driven analysis identified highly relevant markets, in particular business owners with a potential interest in selling all or part of their company. Targeted outreach campaigns identified the relevant decision-makers and contacted them with personalized messages. At the same time, the sales process was standardized to build an efficient, repeatable pipeline for the long term.

1. Step 1
