Acquisition Target Sourcing — Home Service Businesses, Southeastern U.S. About Us Genii Group Inc. is acquiring Baby Boomer-owned home-service businesses across the Southeastern United States. We focus on profitable, operationally sound companies whose founders are approaching retirement without a defined succession plan. We are a platform builder, not a turnaround buyer — we pass on more than we acquire. The Role We are hiring a freelance deal sourcer / skip tracer to sit at the top of our acquisition funnel. Your job is to identify and qualify acquisition targets that fit our buy box, verify owner contact information, and deliver a clean, standardized batch of leads every week. Strong leads advance into our evaluation and due diligence pipeline; weak leads waste everyone's time — we optimize for signal over volume. The Buy Box (Hard Criteria) Every lead you deliver must meet all of the following: Industry: Home services — pest control (primary focus), HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pool, landscaping, roofing, or adjacent recurring-service trades. No retail, food, or professional services. Revenue: $2M–$10M in annual revenue. Below $2M lacks team infrastructure. Above $10M is out of range. Geography: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, or South Carolina. Priority weighting: Atlanta Metro. Owner profile: Baby Boomer, approximately 55–70 years old, with public signals of no defined succession plan or openness to a legacy-preserving transition. Operations: Team in place. Business runs without the owner in every job. Some base of recurring revenue — maintenance contracts, service agreements, or repeat customers. Pure project-based revenue is a red flag. What Each Lead Must Include Business name, address, website, and service verticals Estimated annual revenue and employee count Years in operation Best available read on recurring vs. project-based revenue mix Any public signals of succession status, exit intent, or legacy motivation (LinkedIn activity, interviews, trade press, local news, SBA listings, broker mentions, etc.) Deliverables and Cadence 10 qualified leads per week, delivered in a standardized spreadsheet or CRM-ready format 3–5 business day turnaround from list request to delivered batch Weekly 30-minute check-in to review quality, refine criteria, and adjust market or vertical focus How Success Is Measured Skip-tracing accuracy: 85% or higher, measured by verified contact info and connect rate on initial outreach Conversion: at least 10–15% of delivered leads advance into evaluated deal packages Zero reformatting required on our end — leads arrive ready to work Feedback loop: lead quality improves week over week as criteria are refined You're a Fit If You... Have sourced for lower-middle-market acquisition platforms, search funds, business brokers, or private equity — not just consumer skip tracing Work fluently with ZoomInfo, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, RocketReach, state business registries, secretary-of-state filings, and property/ownership databases Know how to read an SMB from public signals — revenue estimates, headcount, owner tenure, recurring-revenue clues — without needing a CIM Deliver clean, structured data. No messy spreadsheets. No unverified contacts. Communicate clearly, hit deadlines, and iterate on feedback You're Not a Fit If... You rely primarily on purchased lists without independent verification Your experience is consumer or B2C skip tracing, not B2B / SMB acquisition sourcing You need ongoing hand-holding on the buy box after the first two weeks You can't consistently hit an 85% contact verification rate You want a one-off project — we are building a long-term engagement Engagement Structure: Freelance, long-term engagement with room to scale as we expand across the seven-state footprint Location: Fully remote Compensation: Open to per-lead, hourly, or retainer structures How to Apply In your response, please include: A short summary of 2–3 SMB acquisition or lower-middle-market sourcing projects you've completed, including the industries and deal sizes involved. The primary tools and data sources you use for business intelligence and skip tracing. A sample lead record (redacted is fine) showing the format, data fields, and verification depth you typically deliver. Your availability to start and the volume you can reliably sustain each week.

I can help you systematically source high-quality acquisition targets in the home services space across the Southeastern U.S., aligned with Genii Group Inc.’s investment criteria and growth thesis.

I’ve supported similar buy-side mandates for lower middle-market service businesses, building and managing proprietary deal pipelines, refining target profiles, and engaging directly with owners to qualify interest before bringing opportunities forward. My approach would include defining precise filters (revenue, geography, service line, ownership profile), building targeted lists, discreet outreach, and concise deal summaries so you can quickly assess fit and prioritize follow-ups. I would love to chat more about your project! Regards

Hello, and thank you for the detailed brief. I’m confident I can build a reliable, scalable deal-sourcing funnel for Baby Boomer‑owned home-service businesses across the Southeastern U.S., with a priority on the Atlanta metro. My approach centers on strict alignment to your Buy Box: multi‑state home-service verticals (pest control, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pool, landscaping, roofing or adjacent recurring trades), established revenue in the 2M-10M range, and an operating footprint that runs without the owner. I will source, verify, and deliver 10 high‑quality leads weekly in a clean, CRM‑ready format, with 3-5 business days turnaround per batch and a 30‑minute weekly review to tune criteria and territory focus. I’ve successfully supported lower-middle‑market platforms by building robust lead pipelines, prioritizing signal over volume and minimizing wasted effort for the evaluation team. Previous engagements include: 1) A regional PPE distributor where I mapped 20+ targets in the 3-8M revenue band; 2) A property‑maintenance services buyer who sourced targets in 2-6M with recurring revenue streams and formal owner succession signals; 3) An HVAC/plumbing convergence platform enabling a 12‑month procurement cadence for 15-22M revenue players. These projects leveraged ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, RocketReach, and state registries to verify ownership, contact data, and operational scope. What you’ll receive each week: Business name, address, website, service verticals, e

Hi - thanks for sharing the details, this is right up my alley. I've done some sourcing work around SMBs before, mostly in home services + a bit of general B2B. Nothing huge like mega PE deals, but more in that lower-middle range (a few million in revenue type businesses). I've built lists, cleaned them, and tried to filter out low-quality leads early so time isn't wasted later. Also worked on pulling data from public sources + enriching it so it's actually usable, not just a raw dump. For tools - I usually mix things. LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, RocketReach, plus scraping and public data (state registries, company sites, etc). I don't really trust a single source so I cross-check stuff as much as possible, especially for contact info. A typical lead from me would include basics like business name, location, website, rough revenue/size estimate, some notes on the owner (age range, how involved they seem), and whether there are any signs around succession or not. Then verified email/phone if I can get it confidently. I can start pretty much right away. 10 leads/week is very doable, can probably go higher once things are dialed in. Happy to adjust based on how strict you want the filtering to be. In addition, I'm new to this platform and my priority is to go with a perfect start. I'm confident to deliver exactly what you expect and it's OK with lower compensation. Thanks again.
