The World's First Done-For-You Direct-to-Seller Deal Pipeline System
Every month, deals you should be closing go to someone else.
Pipeline Machine is built to systematically target, contact, nurture, and handoff pre-qualified, off-market deal opportunities... from first-contact to never-ending follow-up.
"In one of our more difficult campaigns, we were targeting fuel wholesalers (direct-to-seller) for an experienced acquirer. These wholesalers, aka "jobbers," are barely online & have minimal public footprints. They're often second- or third-generation owners, and live in an old school brick & mortar world... so we literally had to Deep Dive Skip Trace key Decision Makers through their spouses, parents, and siblings (because the actual owner's contact info didn't exist in any database). That's the type of problem solving built into Pipeline Machine.

The Two-Part Pipeline Machine System
Part A: The Closed Loop Mechanism
Every new contact enters the loop Cold. From there, we cultivate the relationship – calls, emails, DMs, check-ins – until it warms. Once a contact is pre-qualified and Hot, we hand them across the Bridge to your team.
Here’s the part that makes the loop a loop. After the handoff, every contact comes back:
• Closed Won → returns to Warm for the next deal
• Not Ready → returns to Warm for continued cultivation
• Lost → returns to Cold, dormant until the timing changes
Nothing leaves the system. Your pipeline continuously grows over time.
Part B: The 9 Pipeline Pillars
Three coordinated Jobs, three Pillars in each. All nine Pillars run at the same time – every one doing distinct operational work, none of them in isolation.
Job 1: Targeting – Builds the universe of who you should be talking to.
Job 2: Outreach – Makes contact across every channel that works.
Job 3: Nurturing – Turns those conversations into pre-qualified handoffs.
Each Pillar feeds the next. Together they run as one coordinated pipeline operation.
How to Get Started
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Pipeline Machine doesn’t compress sales cycles. If you need a closing in <90 days, stop here. This would be a bad fit, and we’d rather tell you now than waste your time or disappoint you later.
If you decide Pipeline Machine is worth exploring for your operation, here’s the path to launch.
1. Download the Briefing. (Optional) Fifteen pages on the Closed Loop Mechanism, the 9 Pipeline Pillars, the economics, and the case work. It’s the easiest way to evaluate Pipeline Machine on your own terms — and to share with whoever else needs to weigh in on your side before the conversation.
2. Book a Strategy Session. Thirty minutes with REVAS CEO Ali Murtaza. He’ll diagnose your current sourcing situation, forecast pipeline velocity at your target tier, and help you calculate break-even and ROI to decide whether Pipeline Machine is the right fit for your operation.
3. Hire Us to Build Your Pipeline. Substantive seller conversations begin inside 45 days. First warm handoffs typically land between day 60 and day 90. First closings come 9 to 18 months out, sometimes much sooner depending on your sales cycle. You’ll see the pipeline filling in real time, with weekly updates by the end of your first month.
GET THE FULL STORY HERE...
These are the five failure modes we’ve watched our clients run, in every combination and order imaginable. Each one fails in its own specific way, and each failure is structural rather than situational.
The CEO, GP, or principal broker is also the one personally chasing every deal.
Maybe a personal assistant helps at the back end. Maybe a junior acquisition associate picks up the relay from Due Diligence to Closing. But the relationship-building and the systematic follow-up live with the founder.
The result:
Letting the deal flow come to you instead of going to it.
The brokers you know send the occasional intro. The referral network produces a deal every few months when the timing happens to line up. On-market listings hit your inbox and you take a shot when something looks decent.
This is the weakest position in the entire acquisition chain. Brokers and on-market deals mean somebody else already shopped the deal first, which means:
We’ve watched even well-capitalized acquirers in our client base sit on dry powder for quarters at a time, because their entire sourcing strategy was “wait for the right thing to come through.”
Hiring an outbound marketing agency or consultant to run Cold Email or managed ad campaigns on your behalf.
Looks affordable on the surface:
But the outbound services space is still genuinely the wild west, even in 2026. Common outcomes:
The wild-west part of this industry isn’t getting tamer over time. It’s just getting noisier.
Hiring a US-based telemarketer or telemarketing agency to run cold outreach for you.
Overseas cold calling rarely works in our ICPs, so the US-based premium gets paid:
And the list problem never goes away:
The result is a campaign that costs more than it should and produces inconsistent enough output to make every quarter a coin flip.
Building an outbound team internally, and absorbing the cost and management overhead in-house.
The role might be called:
This is the option operators have most often seen actually produce results, at least partially, when the right person lands in the seat.
But the cost is real:
The deeper structural problem is the one most operators don’t see until they’re already a year in:
At best, any single BizDev hire might really know only two or three of the nine operational disciplines that make outbound pipeline work.
They might be strong on the cold calling and the live qualification. But the list-building, the multi-channel orchestration, the CRM hygiene, the long-term nurture, and the systematic reactivation are still missing entirely.
So you’ve taken on all the cost and management overhead of an in-house team without actually closing the structural gap.
They wanted a pipeline that gets bigger every month instead of one where last month’s work disappears. They wanted relationships that grow over time instead of leads that expire in a quarter. And they wanted a team that closes deals instead of one that spends half its bandwidth chasing them.
There’s a reason none of these failure modes ever stuck as the actual solution for our clients, and we’d watched every one of them fail in different versions for more than a decade. So we finally decided to build the solution to the actual underlying problem, once and for all.
We’ve been on the vendor side of the very services you’ve hired and fired over the years:
From that seat, we watched the same patterns of failure play out across every vertical, every deal size, and every campaign structure imaginable.
Our founder, Marshall Hatfield, has spent most of his career running deal-sourcing engines as an operator himself, first as a commercial real estate agent and investor, and more recently as a business broker and M&A advisor.
The view from both sides of the desk is what eventually told us that the patterns we kept seeing weren’t accidents at all:
For most of those thirteen years, we ran lead generation campaigns the same way everyone else in the industry did. Some of them worked and some of them didn’t, and it wasn’t obvious as to what made the real difference.
The pattern took us years to see because it wasn’t about which campaigns had better lists, or sharper scripts, or harder-working ISAs. The successful campaigns shared two structural characteristics:
The reservoir kept growing on those campaigns, while every other campaign was effectively starting over from scratch every single month.
Of course, to see this play out takes months and years. And then building a systematic solution takes seeing it play out over and over again to properly understand how to fix it. Put simply:
The winning campaign isn’t about a better list, or making more contact attempts.
It’s about being (and staying) in front of the right Decision Makers, at the right time, no matter how long it takes.
That realization was the moment we stopped focusing on “lead generation” as such, and built something different that’s actually designed to solve for the underlying problem.
We built Pipeline Machine as the cure to a diagnosis no other solution in the industry is trying to solve.
Here’s a story from inside one of our campaigns. The names are withheld, but the story is true.
We’d been talking to a potential seller on behalf of a Pipeline Machine client, and the seller suddenly went quiet for a couple months. No big deal: this is a normal pattern.
Three months later, the seller’s circumstances changed and he was suddenly ready to move. So he started reaching out:
By the time we finally reconnected, it was unfortunately bad news:
The seller had already listed with a Business Broker.
Now we were competing against everyone on the open market, and stuck dealing with one of those Brokers you have to chase for a week just to get them to send the NDA.
The advantage of going direct-to-seller disappeared in a matter of weeks, after just a few missed communications.
But this isn’t a story about one specific example:
This is about a category of failure that every sourcing operation experiences.
Put simply:
You’ve been focusing on a lead generation problem. What you actually have is a pipeline problem.
No human-centric system can keep up with every signal in a deal pipeline all the time. Opportunities will slip through the cracks.
It’s far too easy to miss critical re-engagement signals like:
These are the types of problems that Pipeline Machine’s Closed Loop Mechanism is specifically designed to address. The Post-Handoff Pulse and the systematic re-engagement timeline catch the signals that no human-bandwidth follow-up can reliably catch.
That’s pipeline operations.
And it’s exactly what Pipeline Machine is built to run.
With Pipeline Machine, the seller who went quiet doesn’t disappear into a spreadsheet. He sits in the Warm zone with a scheduled check-in and automated follow-up touches.
And when he re-engages on any channel, the operator gets alerted in real time, and catches it before anyone else.
"A person is not a solution to a problem without a process. That's why everything we do is always Process-Based, Not People-Based."
- Marshall Hatfield, REVAS Founder & Advisor
Even when a person can solve a problem, it’s only because they already know the correct process to implement. The process is what does the work, and the person is the conduit.
Let me show you both. First the Closed Loop, which is the architecture that compounds relationship value over time instead of resetting to zero every billing cycle. Then the 9 Pipeline Pillars, which are the daily practice the operator and back-office team run inside it.

This is the easiest way to see precisely what’s included in Pipeline Machine, so you can quickly share & discuss with your team.
Pipeline Machine is a Done-For-You Deal Pipeline Operation. We run the entire pipeline on your behalf.
Whether you’re looking for your own acquisitions, or you’re a broker looking for sell-side engagements, our goal is simple:
Your team is freed to focus on diligence and closing.
We take care of all the grunt work to go from raw data to pre-qualified seller meetings on your calendar.
From list building & data enrichment, to cold calls & cold emails, to the never-ending follow-up: we handle everything that doesn’t require your direct input, so you can give all your attention to work that suits your pay grade.
A US-based Pipeline Operator runs point on the live relationship work: the calls, the conversations, the cultivation, the pre-qualification – this is a legit acquisition specialist with experience running these exact types of campaigns.
Behind the Operator, a systematic back-office team handles everything else: the data work, CRM customization, email server management, and the dozen other things that have to run smoothly for the front-end conversations to happen.
All of this is overseen by our Operations Manager and the CEO personally, delivering a white glove experience where all you really have to do is go to meetings with pre-qualified sellers.
You won’t find this structure anywhere else in the “lead gen” space. Most vendors deliver leads. We deliver a managed pipeline that gets bigger every month it runs.
Most lead gen services focus on generating “leads.” It’s not always clear what this even means, and then you’re expected to figure out how to transform these “leads” (potentially of dubious quality) into a profitable pipeline from there, on your own. Most lead generation services are doing handoffs blind:
Leads arrive flat, with no idea how they got to you, or where you’re entering the conversation.
That’s why we built Pipeline Machine to be different:
It’s a continuous, closed loop.
Nobody leaves the loop unless they explicitly request it. No opportunities slip through the cracks.
Contacts move through three temperature zones:
All of that is pretty standard. Here’s what actually makes this approach different.
After every handoff, the contact eventually circles right back into the Closed Loop:
What you end up with is a compounding pipeline asset that gets bigger every month, converting more deals the longer it runs.
Month four is larger than month three. Month nine is larger than month six. That’s the whole point of building a pipeline asset instead of chasing leads.
STORY TIME! In 2023, I missed out on a crazy sell-side opportunity when I received a warm introduction to a top regional property management owner looking to sell. This was a multimillion-dollar deal with operations in several of the country's hottest metros.
When I met him, he said he was barely testing the waters. I called him up a few weeks later to check in, and he told me: "It's already been sold."
I couldn't believe it. But when I got the full story, it turned out he'd basically accepted a blank check from another local owner he'd known for 20+ years through their industry trade association.
That situation changed my whole perspective on relationship building & follow-up. The only way to win long-term is to be in the room with sellers long-term as well - WAY before they actually think they're ready to sell. By then, it might already be too late!

This is the easiest way to find out if Pipeline Machine makes sense in your specific situation.
While we introduced the 9 Pipeline Pillars above, we only briefly covered the details of how they function. Here’s the in-depth walkthrough of the heart of Pipeline Machine: three jobs, three pillars each, all running simultaneously to power the Closed Loop.
Before any outreach happens, the universe gets built and graded against your buy box.
You get a real target list built from scratch against your buy box.
You reach the owners standard data sources can’t find: the hard-to-track decision-makers your competitors miss entirely.
First contact runs across every channel that works in your vertical, coordinated rather than scattered.
Once a contact engages, the cultivation work begins.
You step into every meeting with the full relationship context already on the table, ready to close.
The 9 Pipeline Pillars run as a coordinated system. Your deal flow is never reliant on a single tactic. With an integrated 9-Pillar system, you stop chasing leads and start building a pipeline asset.
