How2Exit Episode 51: Denise Logan - Professional Speaker & Best-Selling Author.

Denise Logan knows that to business owners, selling a business is more than a transaction. To them, it is an emotionally fraught period of transition, filled with unexpected highs and lows, with no clear vision of what waits at the end for them and their family. Her passion for this work is colored by her own experience of being an unprepared business owner who made an abrupt and choppy exit from her company, after ignoring the signs that it was time for several years.She is the author of The Seller’s Journey: A Business Fable about Navigating the Emotional Obstacles to Selling Your Business, and has addressed more than five hundred audiences on three continents about the psychology of business owners and how to make it easier when the time comes to let go. Denise is the secret weapon M&A advisors have turned to for years to help get their deals "unstuck" and she provides advanced training to advisors employed by some of the world’s largest financial institutions, law firms and accounting firms, helping their clients successfully transition their businesses to new owners and, most importantly, without regret. --------------------------------------------------Contact Denise onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deniseloganWebsite: www.deniselogan.comTwitter: @deniseloganusaBook: The Seller’s Journey: A Business Fable about Navigating the Emotional Obstacles to Selling Your Business- https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B08KGWL9QB&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_W5Z46AB074S7WD25CHC8&tag=how2exit-20As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

How2Exit E27: Barbara Schenck -Author BizBuySell's: Guide to Selling Your Small business

Barbara has written a small shelf of books that help entrepreneurs -- especially small business owners -- start, grow, brand, market, and when they're ready, sell their businesses. She is the author or co-author of Small Business Marketing Kit For Dummies, Branding For Dummies, Business Plans Kit For Dummies, and the Guide to Selling Your Small Business, available for free download at BizBuySell.com, the site of the Internet's largest business-for-sale marketplace, with three million visitors a month. Her current focus is on helping small business owners capture a final round of value by selling - not closing - their businesses. From experience, she knows that most small businesses aren't in sale-ready shape when owners want out, and therefore most businesses never sell. Today she's here to talk about what a sale-ready business looks like, how to get your business in sale-ready shape, and what's involved to present the business for sale, find the right buyer, navigate and negotiate the sale process, and manage a successful owner-to-owner transition.--------------------------------------------------Contact Barbara onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbarafindlayschenck/Website: bizstrong.comBook: Small Business Marketing Kit For Dummies, 3rd Editionhttps://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B008KPM5CS&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_EHZF58SYW7FGTENEAEAW&tag=how2exit-20As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

How2Exit Episode 20: Marty Fahncke - executed over $400 million in Mergers and Acquisitions.

Marty M. Fahncke (Pronounced Fawn-Key) had his first business exit experience over 20 years ago when a business he launched with a couple of friends was acquired for 7 figures after just 18 months in business. This resulted in Marty having a completely skewed perception of what it takes to sell a business. He thought every business owner had people knocking on the door waiting to throw wads of cash at them!20 years later, Marty has helped businesses scale to over $1 Billion in revenue, and executed over $400 million in Mergers and Acquisitions. He and his partners are actively acquiring businesses in a variety of verticals, including e-commerce, consumer goods, health & wellness, agencies, SaaS, and more. He is also an M&A Advisor, helping business owners on both sell-side, and buy-side, helping companies execute a “Growth through acquisition” strategyAfter dozens of transactions, he now knows that buying or selling a business can be frustrating, stressful, and time-consuming. But it can also be rewarding, fun, and of course, lucrative. Today, Marty is here to share with our listeners what he's learned in the M&A trenches, and he hopes to help you remove some of the frustration and stress, and focus on the fun and financial rewards of buying and selling businesses. --------------------------------------------------Contact Marty onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martyfahncke/Website: https://www.westboundroad.com/----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reach me to sell me your business, be on my podcast or just share some love:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ronaldskeltonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/How2ExitHave suggestions, comments, or want to tell us about a business for sale call our hotline and leave a message: 918-641-4150----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/kvHk4hbxnOM----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other interviews:Zoran Sarabaca: https://youtu.be/OLqszNP7yHYJohn Andrews: https://youtu.be/vmGWbd2y5x0Chris Daigle: https://youtu.be/jHWzFGRbpD4Arturo Henriquez: https://youtu.be/uwN7y8AE4EQJoe Valley: https://youtu.be/ZQLdybxcZKsChristopher Wick: https://youtu.be/xhIf9ltgedAJonathan Brabrand: https://youtu.be/oC82Ls54CXoCarl Allen: https://youtu.be/VIU2Lqj_FY4Klint Kendrick: https://youtu.be/eJ2GICCj2TAWalker Deibel: https://youtu.be/xoUH_Ixeook--------------------------------------------------Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/how2exit-buy-don-t-build-m-a-of-small-businesses--4859429/support.
