1) I am looking for ideas in regards to deal sourcing and origination.
What are some of the strategies that you have found successful? That is, do you use brokers, cold calling, third party platforms etc..



2) What are some of the strategies that you use to effectively manage interns?

When I owned a manufacturing company, we threw ALL unsolicited solicitations in the trash, UNLESS the writer did their homework and pointed out something we should be aware of......like "understand you may have supply issues with your #3 customer.:..or ..."we heard that your #2 sales person has her resume out on the street"...." how do you feel about XXX technology that could be disruptive to your business".......Email blasts that are generic without demonstrated homework will not work. Get your interns to deep dive on each target.

We built a platform to monitor 100,000+ brokered deals: I'm actually a big advocate for proprietary search but I think it would be remiss for searchers to skip monitoring what's already listed. We're giving everyone in the Searchfunder community a free month to try it out while we're in beta: use code SEARCHFUNDER300 at https://www.withkumo.com/
