Selling your business is not just a transaction. It is a period of transition filled with unexpected highs and lows. After exiting her own legal practice and watching a close friend struggle with the sale of his company, global keynote speaker and bestselling author, Denise Logan realized that business owners need emotional support for this process of transition. Over the last 13 years, she has woven together her previous experience as a lawyer and mental health professional to help business owners and their advisors navigate the emotional aspects of letting go when it is time to sell their business; ultimately enhancing the likelihood of a successful conclusion while keeping costs and delays to a minimum. Denise joins us on Branch Out today to explain how she keeps people and deals from falling apart by giving emotions a seat at the table. We discuss the pitfalls of growing for the sake of growth, the term ‘product-market-maker fit,’ and Denise’s belief that it’s unprocessed emotion that kills deals, not time. We also touch on the importance of context, how advisors can close more deals by slowing down, and so much more. Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation with The Seller Whisperer herself, Denise Logan!
