Principal | M&A Business Intermediary & Broker▪️Helping business owners achieve seamless exit. I love creating concepts & businesses from the ground up. That's what motivated me to start one of my earlier companies, Cleanology, in 2003. House cleaning had a horrible reputation and I knew I could make a positive shift in that industry​.

I started with $300 and a vacuum cleaner. So, after founding, growing, acquiring, raising capital, and selling over 20+ businesses of my own across several verticals including cleaning, health + wellness, beauty, technology (SaaS), exotic car rentals, CoLiving, and real estate, I realized that there was a formula behind the perfect business sale and I LOVE helping others do the same! It took me decades to perfect a grand-slam system for buying, selling & acquiring companies - one that works. That’s when friends & fellow entrepreneurs came to me wanting help selling their own businesses that I finally agreed to step in and do what I know best. And the rest, as they say, is history. I now run The Magnolia Firm 🌸, a highly specialized boutique business brokerage firm supporting entrepreneurs through the finish line of the most important steps they will ever take: selling their company.

Providing Exceptional Customer Service

Providing Exceptional Customer Service

It’s pretty much universally accepted that it’s less expensive to keep existing customers than to acquire new ones. A survey by HundredX and YouGov shows that 88% of business executives believe that to be the case. And HundredX believes what drives retention is listening, and just as important, acting on what you have “heard.” I n this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jason Hiland, from  @Golf Sub 70  on the topic of #customerservice and what his company does differently to ensure their customers are always being heard. So grab a pen and paper and be ready to take some notes.
