Overview

In one week, Transworld Business Advisors broker Joe Di Bartolo closed two successful business sales—a Marina Waterfront Restaurant and a 40-year-old Construction Company—both directly generated from Broker Lead Factory’s localized ad campaigns.

These two sales demonstrate the power of data-driven marketing, precise local targeting, and authentic storytelling in attracting qualified buyers and sellers in record time.

Challenge

Joe, like many experienced brokers, wanted a consistent and predictable flow of qualified leads. Despite strong local relationships and years of experience, traditional networking and third-party listing sites weren’t delivering enough ready-to-act buyers and motivated sellers.

He needed a marketing engine that could:

  • Reach local business owners ready to sell

  • Attract qualified, experienced buyers with capital in hand

  • Generate inquiries that convert into real, closed deals
