How Paragon Deals became the backbone of Echo Partners’ scalable deal-origination engine

Transworld Texas is one of the largest business brokerage groups in the region. They wanted more predictable inbound conversations with owners planning a sale. Paragon Deals launched targeted outreach across key industries in Texas, generating consistent discovery calls and improving their listing pipeline.

A. Buchholtz & Company is a long-established M&A advisory firm. Their pipeline relied heavily on referrals. Paragon Deals built a scalable outbound program targeting business owners considering an exit, increasing the volume of mandate-aligned leads and improving visibility on early-stage opportunities.

Madison Street Capital is a global middle-market investment bank. They wanted to reach new industry segments and expand their deal-flow outside traditional referral channels. Paragon Deals launched a structured outbound system targeting CEOs, owners, and operators across multiple industries, generating consistent introductions and improving outreach visibility.

Echo Partners is a healthcare-focused investment bank. Their outreach, investor mapping, and pipeline development were mostly manual, limiting scale and visibility. Paragon Deals built the automated infrastructure that now powers Echo’s entire outbound engine — including targeting, messaging, sequencing, tracking, and lead qualification. This system enabled consistent engagement across the healthcare investor and acquirer ecosystem without adding headcount.

Partnering with Paragon Deals, TAG Financial Institutions Group, a leading investment bank, saw a dramatic transformation in their sell-side mandate generation strategy. Paragon Deals implemented a targeted cold email campaign focused on identifying potential M&A opportunities within the financial services sector. This strategic outreach enabled TAG Financial to engage with a broader range of insurance agencies, wealth management firms, and other financial services businesses exploring exit options. The automated campaign improved consistency in follow-ups and maintained efficient tracking of prospect engagement. As a result, TAG Financial generated 23 qualified meetings for new deal flow, secured multiple active mandates for future M&A transactions, and successfully closed a landmark transaction with Supportive Insurance Services.

Auctus Capital Partners, an investment banking firm, struggled with scaling their lead generation due to manual outreach efforts. Partnering with Paragon Deals significantly improved their process, increasing outreach from 1,000 to over 10,000 contacts monthly. This automation enhanced follow-ups and tracking, resulting in 30 to 50 highly qualified leads and better pipeline growth. The collaboration allowed Auctus Capital to engage with more potential clients efficiently and build long-term relationships in their industry.
