Pool service owners rarely list their routes for sale outright, they mention it in passing, retirement plans in a Facebook group comment, a slowdown post, a "looking to simplify" line, which means the real skill here is spotting sellers before they've actually decided to sell, not just searching listings that already say "for sale." Sourcing would run across Facebook Marketplace, relevant Facebook Groups, Google, and business directories, watching specifically for the softer signals, owners mentioning downsizing, relocating, or slowing down, rather than only searching direct for-sale posts. Approved messaging would open those conversations naturally, with seller details, accounts, revenue, asking price, reason for selling, logged consistently in Google Sheets or the CRM so nothing falls through on follow-up. Ads like the Kingwood one would get posted and managed across Marketplace and groups specifically targeting Texas and Florida markets, with qualified leads sent through to management as soon as they're confirmed. Based on sourcing similar business leads before, indirect signals like a retirement or slowdown mention consistently outperform waiting for direct for-sale posts, is that the kind of approach you're looking to scale across Texas and Florida from the start?

Hi, I'm Stefan. This caught my attention mainly because I have a keen interest in lead generation and business acquisitions. I've worked extensively in prospecting and sourcing business opportunities, so I understand the nuances of connecting with potential sellers effectively. Here's how I'd approach it: ▸ Start by leveraging Facebook Marketplace and Groups to identify pool service businesses actively listing their services. ▸ Use targeted messaging to reach out to owners, focusing on those nearing retirement or looking to downsize. ▸ Create a systematic follow-up schedule to ensure no lead goes cold, maximizing potential seller engagement. I genuinely enjoy diving into client projects, understanding their unique needs, and treating every outcome as if it were my own venture. Sometimes the next step is just a conversation, so reach out and let's have a proper one. Regards, Stefan.
