First off, a little bit about ourselves: my brother Alex and I came up with an idea to build a "Businesses for Sale" type of website. So we purchased the domain name www.for-sale-businesses.com. Instead of throwing a website together and hoping it sticks, we thought that if we were going to do this, we wanted to add value by finding out just what buyers of businesses are seeking. I was hesitant at first, but knew we should "do something different." We started to build upon free accounts, learning through trial and error what brokers, sellers, and buyers want. We are still learning. This book is designed to give you, as a buyer, some good "hands on" information when buying a new business. It includes business broker tips and hearing what they have to say about buying a business. The reason why we based this guidebook on broker interviews is because of their vast experience and knowledge when it comes to mergers and acquisitions. This short and easy to read compilation of information is sure to get your feet set on the right path before you invest your life savings and go head long into the purchase of a new or existing business.

If this is your first time deciding you want to own and operate a business, this simple guide will give you a framework for success. It is based on interviews with business brokers throughout the United States, ranging from different financial and business expertise. It is my hope and desire that you will think clearly and carefully about these concepts as you consider buying a business. It may save you time and frustration instead of doing it the "hard way." This is intended to help you avoid any pitfalls and unnecessary failures. The brokers and their information are referenced in the appendix. So go ahead and download the book now with one click and enjoy. To your success, Corey

Download or read book Eliminate Your Competition written by Sean O'Shaughnessey and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most salespeople lose the deal before they ever get started! It isn't uncommon for the customer to have already made a decision before most salespeople even learn of the opportunity. Most salespeople have to beat the preferred competitor by a significant margin just to be considered equivalent. Don't you wish that you could be the preferred vendor in all of your opportunities? Selling is a difficult career in which to make a living; it is not uncommon to have the commission check denied before the salesperson even gets a chance to win. Analysis of thousands of sales situations has made it phenomenally obvious that most salespeople begin their sales campaign so late in the decision-making process that they are virtually guaranteed to lose the order. To make matters worse, when they do start the campaign early enough, most salespeople do not know how to control the prospect adequately so that they can guarantee their victory. Typical turnover for a sales department is 10-20%. Many companies see turnover that approaches 40-60%! This turnover costs them 50% of their revenue-generating capability. In any organization that exceeds 25% turnover, the loss of trust with the customer can be astounding as the new salesperson tries to rebuild the entire relationship. In any given quarter dozens or hundreds of companies do not make their forecasted numbers and are dramatically punished by Wall Street. This book will provide the management of a company with a framework to teach their salespeople how to attain their quotas with higher profits. It will also allow salespeople to rise to the top of their organization and be the super-achievers who win awards, trips, bonuses, and respect. In this book, I will show you how to eliminate your competition and maximize your commission.
