Deal Sourcing Leads Goal

I will start lead sourcing for a small PE firm in Atlanta. I want to be realistic so in terms of leads(not closed deals) how many leads can one generate per month if they are spending 8 hours a day sourcing deals?

I am trying to set some goals that way my day is very structured and methodical.

Thank you.

less than 1% sourcing private companies is a pain because the second the gate keeper hears the word "capital" she thinks you are calling from a bucket shop to sell some stock.

I had a full-time business development associate we wound up moving to operations because sourcing proprietary deals direct is "fantasy". Unless you are looking to build a 3-5 year relationship with someone over the phone.
