How can first-time searchers/buyers build credibility before approaching sellers?
I believe the biggest challenge first-time searchers/buyers face when sourcing deals is establishing credibility. Whether you’re a recent MBA graduate or a professional with 20+ years of experience, credibility gap is mostly overlooked. What new searchers/buyers often need is structured guidance on how to build a credible searcher/buyer identity and public profile before engaging with sellers. For those who have gone through this journey: How did you overcome the credibility gap, and what resources, tools, or strategies would you recommend to first-time searchers/buyers?
