Developing your go-to-market strategy for business owners
This module will begin by helping you understand the exit planning network of professionals you need to build—who are they, how you find them, and how you partner with them. You'll also learn the important questions you need to answer for your practice in order to be successful in this space, including deciding on your exit planning process, determining your process for executing business valuations for your clients, and determining how you'll deliver on helping clients create their plan for what they'll do post-exit. From there, discover how to put process in your practice by developing a defined, repeatable process for each investment and wealth management service you offer, a method for communicating those processes, as well as the three primary revenue opportunities prior to the liquidity event.
This is all about embedding yourself with business owner clients far before the liquidity event with a defined set of deliverables that will support the right partnerships and create revenue opportunities.
