Key Takeaways
➥ Selling a business isn’t just about the exit—it’s about preparation. Optimizing operations, cleaning up books, and systemizing processes can dramatically increase value before you sell.
➥ Choosing the right broker is critical. Some may prioritize buyers over sellers, so triple-check their process and talk to previous clients to avoid surprises.
➥ Price smart: list slightly higher than you expect to sell. Buyers usually negotiate down, and a higher starting point protects your upside.
➥ Post-acquisition growth thrives on systems and expertise. Optimizing listings, ads, inventory, and operations can double revenue—even for a brand bought for “super small” amounts.
➥ Recurring purchase models are gold. Consumable products, repeat buyers, and brand loyalty can accelerate growth faster than flashy campaigns.
➥ Leveraging influencer programs strategically—segmenting creators, VIPs, and deal groups—can drive 11%+ of sales without heavy spend.
➥ Continuous experimentation, collaboration, and smart use of customer feedback unlock unexpected growth. Even small tweaks to processes or partnerships can massively scale results.
