The most honest statement you’ll read about Business Acquisition today: IF YOU CAN’T SELL… YOU’RE S.O.L.!
Dear Business Acquisition Practitioner,
Do any of these statements describe you?
- I’m not getting results as quickly as I’d like in my Business Acquisition journey
- I’m having trouble actually connecting with potential Chairmen, Board Members and potential Acquisition Partners
- I can’t get past the gatekeepers to reach the decision makers
- Even when I do connect with the decision makers, I’m hearing NO a lot more than I’m hearing YES
- I find the conversations I’m having difficult and uncomfortable
- I’m beginning to wonder if I made the right decision… maybe I should just quit
If any of those do sound like you, keep reading…
Several times per year, my Sales & Marketing head, John Sanpietro, and I get together with the members of my VIP Group.
We discuss many things, and help the VIP Members work through any challenges they’re having.
Inevitably, when someone is having difficulty moving forward, whether it’s finding a Chairman, Board Members, or potential Acquisition Partners, it’s because of one issue:
Lack of Sales Skills!
To put it simply, they just don’t know how to sell.
Whether you realize it or not, the Business Acquisition Process is one sales presentation after another. Think about it:
- You have to sell yourself, and your idea, to a potential Board Chairman
- You have to sell yourself, the idea, and your Chairman to potential Board Members
- You have to sell yourself, the idea, your Chairman, and the Board to potential Accountants and Lawyers
- You have to sell yourself and everything else to banks for financing
- Then, and this may be the hardest part of all, you have to sell a potential acquisition partner and convince them to let you acquire their business!
- Hell! You even have to sell to get past the gatekeepers!
As we like to say… “If You Can’t Sell… You’re S.O.L.!” (Shit Out of Luck)
And here’s something else nobody is telling you:
The time when you could just get on the phone, make 1000 phone calls, and count on acquiring a business is long gone!
Why?
Because you are not the only person acquiring businesses! There are private equity firms, consolidators and “bots” (many of whom have no idea what they are doing).
The only way for you to succeed in Business Acquisition… I mean, really succeed… is to set yourself apart from the bots out there. And the way you do that is to elevate your sales game.
So, that’s the bad news – You can’t sell.
That’s not your fault. When you learned about Business Acquisition, the odds are you weren’t told it was all about being able to sell. Probably because if they told you that, you might not have jumped in.
BUT, here’s the good news – You CAN learn how to sell!
Nobody was born knowing how to sell. Somewhere along the way, they were all taught. And if they can be taught, so can YOU!
To that end, back in March, John and I conducted a unique, live, day-long event called:
