I would very much like to know where searchers have found their deals (i.e. thru brokers, word of mouth, cold calling, etc.). Is there any research on that? Can anyone recommend brokers in the financial services space that are excellent?

With that said, I recall a podcast recently (Acquiring Minds?) discussed a study which identified only a small portion of closed deals being proprietarily sourced. Perhaps worth dissecting in addition to networking.
