Don't Just Exit. Exit Rich. Here's How. ...

Sales POP!
About this episode

Selling your business is more than a transaction; it's the final act of your entrepreneurial story. But a great ending doesn't just happen—it's written years in advance.

Far too many entrepreneurs approach a sale unprepared, letting common (and avoidable) mistakes destroy the value they've worked so hard to build.

We brought in expert Chris Spratling, a coach and author who has mastered the art of the successful exit, to lay out a proven blueprint. He explains that buyers are looking for specific signals that a business is a low-risk, high-reward investment. Your job is to build those signals into your company's DNA long before you're ready to sell.
