Advice on Niche Market Exit Planning
Selling a Telemarketing Consultants Business
Over the past few years, the telemarketing consultants business industry has seen more than its share of fluctuations in business values. Many sellers have exited their companies under less-than-ideal circumstances. Yet it's still possible to achieve personal and professional goals when selling a telemarketing consultants business during challenging economic times.
Most business sellers are interested in disposing of their businesses as quickly as possible. But that's not how a telemarketing consultants business sale works.
For sellers who are willing to perform adequate sale preparation, the numbers make telemarketing consultants businesses a solid investment for qualified buyers in the business-for-sale marketplace.
The Emotions of a Business Sale
Business sellers sometimes struggle to handle the emotions of a sale. You probably have good reasons for selling your telemarketing consultants business now, but that doesn't make the emotions you will experience any easier. We advise sellers to discuss their feelings with family members and close friends before, during and after the sale. At the same time, it's helpful to consult with people who can help limit the influence of your emotions on negotiations and other aspects of the sale process.
Negotiation Teams
Business sellers are sometimes surprised to find themselves in the position of negotiator-in-chief. When you sell your telemarketing consultants business, your business brokers may or may not be willing to conduct negotiations for you. Negotiation is a chess game, best played with the resources and backend support of a negotiation team. Good negotiation teams support sellers, giving them insight and advice about how to overcome buyer objections and drive the process forward to a successful conclusion.
Working with Accountants
Accountants lay the financial groundwork for a business sale. From a seller perspective, an accountant can offer personal financial assistance, especially when it comes to handling the disposition of sale proceeds. Brokers often advise their clients to have an accountant perform an audit of the business prior to sale. With seller financing becoming common, professional accountants are playing a more central role in negotiations and buyer qualification.
