FAQ

You have questions, we have answers

What types of firms does Axia Growth Partners work with?

We primarily support lower-middle-market Private Equity firms, M&A boutiques, independent advisory shops, real estate investors, and financial advisors. Our system is flexible enough to adapt to a wide range of deal sizes and industries.

How does Axia’s multi-channel outreach differ from standard email campaigns?

Unlike one-dimensional email blasts, we blend email, LinkedIn, phone, SMS, and even handwritten mailers to engage prospects on multiple fronts. This approach helps you stand out and consistently boosts response rates.

How long does it take to start seeing results?

Many clients begin noticing an uptick in qualified leads within the first 60 days. However, the exact timeline can vary depending on your target market, deal size, and the complexity of your outreach criteria.

Can Axia work with my existing team?

Absolutely. We’re here to enhance your current efforts. From bolstering your in-house sourcing team to integrating with your CRM, we adapt to your infrastructure to seamlessly expand your deal pipeline.

How does your success fee structure work?

We use a modified Lehman Scale with a tiered fee that decreases as the deal size increases, ensuring our incentives are aligned with yours. There’s also a minimum success fee to cover smaller transactions.

Is there a retainer involved?

Yes. We typically charge a monthly retainer that covers data refreshing, campaign setup, and ongoing outreach. This ensures consistent pipeline growth, while the success fee aligns both parties for a profitable outcome.

Can you handle cross-border or specialized industries?

Absolutely. Our team’s background in investment banking and advisory has equipped us to operate in a variety of sectors—both domestically and internationally. We tailor our outreach to align with your specific niche or market focus.
