Sometimes this game feels like crawling on your hands and knees through a sea of broken glass.


But remember, it only takes 1 deal to literally change EVERYTHING.


Take for example this honest chap on Twitter -- @tradesearcher -- who was brave enough to share his outreach numbers.


He started with a list of 34,044 companies on his prospect list. <Holy smokes!>


Care to guess how many LOIs he actually submitted???


Try 22 LOIs.


And only 6 of these got signed.


It took him 14 grueling months, but ultimately, he found success!


Mission accomplished.


Here are the numbers....

>>> Companies contacted: 34,044

>>> Emails sent: 133,982 (this averages out to ~4 emails per company on his list)

>>> CEO phone calls: 577 (yup, dialin' for dollars)

>>> LOIs submitted: 22

>>> LOIs signed: 6

>>> Businesses acquired: 1 !!!


This guy might be the David Goggins of Search.

Those are insane numbers - do you know anything about how the searcher did it? Specifically would be interested in what CRMs / email tools he used, and whether or not he hired any interns or help to organize this search
