Off-Market Outreach

Reach the owners in your buy box before a broker does.

We find the owners, research each company, and write to them from your own email. Approve each email yourself, or let them send automatically once your account passes our quality check. Replies come straight to you.

Two plans. $400/month, you run it. $2,500/month, we run it. No success fee.

Both plans work with any Searcher OS plan, including Free.

A short tour from Josh, the founder.

The listings you see, everyone sees

Every buyer with a BizBuySell alert sees the listings you see. By the time a good one posts, a broker is fielding NDAs and the price shows it.

Writing to owners directly is the other way in. It is also a part-time job: build the list, find the owner, find an email that works, write something worth reading, follow up five times, and keep your domain out of spam while you do it.

Off-Market Outreach does that job.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you're buying

    Industry, states and size. If you've saved a buy box, we start there.

  2. We build the list

    Companies that fit, the owner's name, and a checked email address. Nothing goes to an address we couldn't verify.

  3. You choose how emails are approved

    We research every company first. When we find something specific, the email opens with it. Approve each one yourself, up to a week of first emails at once, or let them send automatically once your account passes our quality check. On Done-for-You, we approve them for you using messaging you signed off on.

  4. Emails go out from your mailbox

    From a subdomain you own, at a steady pace, with follow-ups built in. When an owner replies, the sequence stops and the reply lands in your inbox.

We build your owner list and run the sending. You approve the emails, or let them send automatically, and answer the replies.

  • Owners found by name, with verified email addresses
  • Your mailbox set up and warmed on your own domain

  • We recommend at most 50 emails a day per mailbox

Start Done-for-You

Under both plans

  • No success fee.
  • No setup fee.
  • Cancel anytime.
  • You keep your domain and mailbox.
  • Your month starts when your first email goes out, and your next charge is 30 days after that.
  • Done-for-You starts with a call. No card needed to book it.
  • If we never send your first email, you get a full refund.

What's true today

  • Sent from your own mailbox on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, on a subdomain you control.
  • Nothing sends automatically until your account passes our quality check. A reply written for one owner always waits for a person.
  • We research every company before the first email.
  • No email goes to an unverified address or to an owner no source names.
  • A reply stops the sequence. A no opts the owner out for good.
  • No tracking pixels and no open tracking.

Questions

Who sends the emails?

You do, from your own mailbox. Owners see your name and your domain. We draft each email. On Outreach SDR you approve them, or let them send automatically once your account passes our quality check. On Done-for-You we approve them using messaging you signed off on.

Do I keep the domains?

Yes. The domain and mailbox are in your name on your own Google or Microsoft account. If you cancel, they stay with you.

Is there a success fee?

No. You pay a flat monthly price and keep all of your deal.

How fast do emails go out?

Plan on 3 to 5 weeks from signup to your first email. Most of that is warming up a new mailbox so it lands in the inbox. Your first month doesn't start until that first email goes out.

How many owners will I reach?

You choose how many emails are in your sequence. We recommend at most 50 emails a day per mailbox; a shorter sequence reaches more owners each month.

What if nobody replies?

Cold email to business owners gets few replies, and we cannot promise any. We control the list, the research and the pace. You can see what went out and who answered, so you can change the emails.

Do I have to approve every email?

No. You can approve each one, up to a week of first emails at a time, or let your emails and your own standard answers to common replies send automatically once your account passes our quality check. A reply written for one owner always waits for you. On Done-for-You we approve them for you.

Will this hurt my main email domain?

We send from a separate subdomain, check SPF, DKIM and DMARC before the first email, write only to verified addresses and keep a daily cap. Your email provider can still suspend a mailbox, and we'll tell you if that happens.

Do I need a Searcher OS plan?

No. Off-Market Outreach works with any plan, including Free.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime. There is no minimum term and no setup fee. To cancel, email support@searcheros.ai. Canceling does not touch your Searcher OS plan.
