So, you are ready to sell your business and you're wondering, "What am I going to do?" You need your business sold!
The most important thing you can do right now is continue to read this report.
You see, advertising and marketing a business for results takes more than website exposure with hit and miss ads...any Intermediary can do that! It takes aggressive, innovative marketing to sell your business in today's market place for the price you deserve to receive!
What do I mean?
Well... in today's market place there are only so many Buyers out there who are ready and able to purchase a business. So, if you want to sell your business, your Intermediary has to aggressively identify these potential Buyers before other Intermediaries "get their hooks into them" and guide them into a different business.
The fact is, when you enter the market to sell your business, you enter one of the most competitive businesses in existence... anywhere! Competition is fierce and if you're not ready for it... your business just sits on the market. So, the first major key to effectively market your business is to identify potential Buyers.
Remember, there are only so many Buyers to go around... and your Intermediary has to find those Buyers first... before one of the other business Intermediaries out there reaches them and guides them into a different business!
So, how does an Intermediary identify these "hot" prospects before the competition? This is where the "rubber meets the road"! This is what separates the weak Intermediary from the shrewd, business-minded marketing professional you want to hire.
Your Intermediary Absolutely Must Have An Aggressive Marketing Strategy! The best Intermediaries use every available marketing tool, technology, approach, contact or potential avenue to generate prospective Buyers for your business! One key element is they understand the value of "effective" advertising! They realize that in today's competitive market they have to create ads that generate a response. They can't just splash their name out there and expect people to call... they have to craft their ads... and give prospects a compelling reason to call.
Advertising is a crucial factor in the success of marketing anything! Your business included. So, how does the Intermediary you're considering separate him or herself from competitors? All their ads look virtually the same. So, what's unique about your new Intermediary that's going to grab prospects and get them to pick up the phone and call?
In today's market place, it's tough! Potential Buyers have been harassed, high-pressured and pushed around so much... it's no wonder that it's hard to get them to call! I'm tired of pushy salespeople too... I can relate!
They use razor-sharp strategy & cutting-edge technology as THE ADVANTAGE! The best Intermediaries overcome this huge obstacle with a razor-sharp marketing strategy, combined with cutting-edge technology, to generate Buyer after Buyer!
Remember, the major key to generating a Buyer for your business is to reach your prospect first. And to reach prospects first, the best Intermediaries are using a little known marketing secret called 1-800 Provantage... this is such a unique marketing advantage!
1-800 Provantage... the edge that will get your business sold this time! Provantage is a system that enables me to supply your "hot" prospects with recorded information about your business... 24 hours a day! I record a verbal description of your business on my Provantage system. Then I advertise your business with a message directing prospects to call anytime 24 hours a day to get recorded information about your business.
Now, really think about this! If your prospect is sitting home at 11:30 PM, looking through my ad... they can call! They can hear about your business without having to talk to an Intermediary right away! No worries of being high-pressured... none! So, what do you think happens? You bet! Prospects call... and call... and call!
You never miss a single opportunity to sell your business... EVER! Now here's the kicker! When prospects call... my Provantage system captures their name, address and phone number automatically! 100% of the time... thats right... 100% of the time! They can't block it, like Caller ID... because I'm using an 800 number!
By this time you might be thinking, "this seems a little stealthy." Well, in a way it is and in a way it's not. But, one thing I can assure you of... it creates a ton of prospective Buyers for your business! And... with the soft, gentle, service-minded way I follow up... people simply love it! So, don't worry about that part... again, the professionalism of your Intermediary makes all the difference!
Another thing! With this approach, you'll reach a lot more prospects and... you'll reach them first... before your competition. With more potential Buyers, it only makes sense... you'll sell your business faster and for more money! It's supply and demand... plain and simple!
So again remember, the first one to reach your prospect wins the sale. So, if you want to get your business sold this time... don't settle for anything less!
The first two questions then are: 1. How are they going to make the phone ring with lots of new prospects for your business? And 2. What's going to give them the edge and get them to the starting block first?
Then comes the next question. How sharp are your Intermediary's negotiating skills? What kind of results have they produced for past clients? This is so crucial!
Most people think that selling a business is like being a tour guide. Show the business to a prospective buyer, and ask if they would like to write up the contract. Well, if that's all there was to it, we would have a lot more Intermediaries selling businesses.
Your Intermediary Absolutely Must Have Strong Fundamental Negotiating Skills! If you want to get your business sold this time, your next Intermediary absolutely must have a deep understanding of "The Art of Negotiating." These skills are vitally important! Without these skills, you could lose big! With these skills, your Intermediary will ensure you get the highest possible price for your business.
When interviewing the prospective Intermediary, ask him or her to present a detailed marketing presentation for you outlining the marketing strategies that would be used to market your business and position it in the market place to be sold in a reasonable time frame and for the highest price possible. Look for things that would separate them from the traditional methods of marketing. Something that would make them stand out and receive attention from Buyers. In today's market, it requires creative and aggressive marketing to sell a business. The key to selling your business is using effective marketing strategies that will generate call after call coupled with the art of negotiation.
So, in conclusion, really think these things through! This is such an important decision. Get prepared! Really fire away with questions when interviewing an Intermediary. Make them stand the test of fire... the best Intermediaries thrive on it! They can't wait to tell you all about the innovative methods that separate them from the Intermediary that'll advertise your business on their website and act like that's enough! In today's market, it's most definitely not enough!
