Outbound systems for M&A + software

Turn cold prospects
into sales
conversations.

We build and operate the outbound machinery behind the conversation: sending infrastructure, owner-level data, targeting, messaging and live campaigns. You read the replies. We handle everything before them.

  • Campaigns live in ~3 weeks
  • Your domain stays protected
  • You own every asset

Who we build for

Two industries.
One hard problem.

The people who move a deal forward are not filling in forms. They have to be reached directly, in a way that is worth their reply.

M&A advisors, brokers & search funds

More conversations with owners before everyone else reaches them.

We identify relevant businesses and decision-makers, build clean owner-level datasets, and run the campaigns that open conversations with potential sellers, buyers and acquisition targets.

  • 01 Reach owners before a mandate exists
  • 02 Open proprietary deal conversations
  • 03 Build pipeline beyond referrals and intermediaries
SaaS & software companies

Pipeline that doesn't depend on another ad campaign.

We build your target list from the customers you have already closed, then run the email and LinkedIn campaigns that reach the accounts most likely to have the problem you solve.

  • 01 Reach the right accounts
  • 02 Test positioning quickly
  • 03 Generate qualified conversations
Method

Six moving parts.
We run all of them.

A good list with bad infrastructure fails. Great copy sent to the wrong market fails. TamGen runs the entire outbound system as one connected operation.

01

Cold email infrastructure

Separate domains and mailboxes, authenticated and warmed before a single prospect hears from you.

02

List building & data

Owner-level records built to your criteria and verified before send. Nothing resold.

03

Copywriting & sequencing

Short messages written for one reader, tested across angles until one earns replies.

04

LinkedIn outreach

Connection and follow-up timed against the email sequence, not run as a separate silo.

05

Inbox management

Every response read and triaged daily. Opt-outs suppressed permanently, same day.

06

Reporting & CRM handoff

Positive replies delivered with the full thread into the pipeline your team already uses.

Case studies

What the campaigns
actually produced.

Real campaigns. Actual conversations. No vanity metrics. Client names are withheld under confidentiality, so each engagement is described by market and mandate.

M&A · Florida trades

A search fund buying HVAC, roofing and contracting businesses

Context
A search fund with capital committed and a clear acquisition profile, competing for every business it saw.
Challenge
Every target had already been shopped by brokers to dozens of buyers. They needed owners nobody had approached, and no way to reach them at volume.
What we did
Built owner-direct datasets segmented by trade, revenue band and county, then ran eleven separate campaigns on dedicated warmed domains so a roofing owner and a behavioural health owner never received the same email.

M&A · healthcare brokerage

A brokerage sourcing physical therapy clinic sellers in New York

Context
A finite regional market of roughly twelve hundred clinic owners.
Challenge
No room for volume. Burn the list with a generic campaign and the market is gone for a year.
What we did
Treated the whole market as one careful three-step sequence, written for clinic owners specifically and addressing succession rather than opening with a valuation pitch.

Software · enterprise AI

An AI company selling into enterprise technology leadership

Context
A new category with no established search demand and buyers who ignore nearly all outbound.
Challenge
Nobody was googling for the product, so paid search had no demand to capture.
What we did
Ran two motions against each other. One targeted technology leadership across the UK on firmographics. The other targeted speakers from AI conferences, on the theory that people who present on a problem are already sold on it.

Word for word,
from real campaigns.

A hundred responses from the wrong companies isn't useful. These are responses from people TamGen was supposed to reach. Names, companies and contact details are permanently redacted.

Performance

Reply quality is the
number that matters.

Reply rate alone is meaningless if the campaign attracts the wrong people. Positive share is the percentage of responders who actually wanted a conversation.

The last two rows are here on purpose. Funding alone turned out to be a weak buying signal, and a track record without a miss in it is not a track record.

I have sat on your side of this problem.

Five years in go-to-market and business development across mergers and acquisitions, marketing agencies, software development and SaaS. That work has brought clients their first customers in new segments, and put acquirers in front of owners on transactions worth millions.

Outbound is not a volume game to me. It is a market-access problem: knowing which four thousand people are worth writing to, what makes an owner reply, and how to keep a domain healthy long enough to find out.

Process

Four stages. First replies
inside three weeks.

Infrastructure and warm-up are the unglamorous part that decides everything after it. There is no shortcut that does not cost you deliverability later.

01

Market & signal research

Define exactly who is worth writing to, then build the dataset against it.

Week 1
02

Infrastructure & warm-up

Domains bought, mailboxes provisioned, authentication configured, warm-up running.

Weeks 1 to 2
03

Launch & sequence

Campaigns go live across email and LinkedIn. Replies triaged from day one.

Week 3
04

Optimize & scale

Cut what is not working, pour volume into the angle that is, keep expanding the list.

Month 2 onward
FAQ

What owners ask us on the first call.

Will cold email damage my main domain?
No, because we never send from it. Outreach runs on separate domains bought and warmed for the purpose, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured, and we rotate one out at the first sign it is degrading. Your firm's mail keeps working normally.
How quickly will I see replies?
Infrastructure and warm-up take the first two weeks. Campaigns go live in week three and first replies usually land within days. You will have enough data to optimise properly by the end of month one.
Who writes the emails?
We do. You approve every sequence before it sends and can veto any angle, but you are not handed a copywriting assignment. If you have language that already works in your calls, we build around it.
Is this personalized spam?
Read the replies above. Those came back because the message was short, specific to that person's business, and made a real offer. We use tooling to research at scale, not to auto-generate flattery about someone's website. If a line would embarrass you to send by hand, it does not go out.
Do I keep the domains and lists?
Yes. Domains, mailboxes and every contact record transfer to you when the engagement ends. You should be building an asset you own, not renting one back from your agency.
Can you contact prospects in the United States?
Yes. B2B cold email is legal in the United States under CAN-SPAM when the sender identity is accurate, a real physical address appears in the message, opt-outs are honoured promptly and subject lines are not misleading. We build to that standard and suppress anyone who asks out, permanently.
What does it cost?
It depends on how many domains and mailboxes your target volume needs, and whether LinkedIn runs alongside email. We settle pricing on the first call once we know the size of your market. If your addressable market is too small for outbound to make sense, we will say so rather than sell you a retainer.

Tell us the market. We'll tell you if it is reachable.

Twenty minutes. We map the addressable market, identify likely outreach volume and tell you whether outbound makes sense before you spend months building it.

No pitch deck. No drawn-out discovery process.
