In this episode of The Inside BS Show, hosts break down three practical strategies that give small business owners control, leverage, and the ability to walk away on their terms.\n\nKey Topics Discussed\nOption 1: The Business Broker\nWhen speed matters, a broker can get the deal done quickly—especially if they specialize in your industry. But speed comes with tradeoffs, and you may leave money on the table.\nOption 2: Creating Your Own Market\nBuild internal and strategic buyers before you ever think about selling. Whether it’s grooming partners inside your firm or forming alliances with suppliers and customers, this strategy gives you pricing power and multiple exit doors.\nOption 3: Selling to a Competitor\nCompetitors will often pay a premium to remove you from the playing field and scoop up market share. Cultivate those relationships early, even while you’re competing head-to-head.\nBonus Topic: Don’t Leave It to Chance\nIf you don’t plan, your “exit” may come in the form of illness or death. That’s why buy-sell agreements and key person insurance are non-negotiable.\nCall to Action\nBuy The 60 Second Sale Book: https://www.amazon.com/60-Second-Sale-Ultimate-Relationships/dp/1119499763","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/PiZj2Jvm0A50__OqC5DH07qJG7fmMYBgHzZdsz2P7co/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZDIx/MjEwZDNiZDMwN2Uw/YzJiNjE0ZTNkMmFm/ODZlOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
