I belong to a referral group that meets weekly and this not only allows me to pick up new business but it also gives me a sounding board to explore new ideas or problems that may come up. This also gives me a wealth of resources that I can recommend to clients I am working with.

I just met with a person that wanted me to look at their budget because it was the first time they had done one. I gave him a free consult and during that meeting gave him a number of promotional ideas as well as impressed upon him the value of doing comparative financials as well as departmentalizing their sales, gross profit, and expenses. From that meeting, he hired me to do a quarterly review and work with him on an ongoing bases.

I grew up in a small farming community in Houlton, Maine. As a kid, I loved going into Woolworth's because they had a lunch counter and I would get a pineapple ice cream sundae. They also had a wonderful candy section with some gourmet chocolates. What I miss most was the service because a lot...

I grew up in a small farming community in Houlton, Maine. As a kid, I loved going into Woolworth's because they had a lunch counter and I would get a pineapple ice cream sundae. They also had a wonderful candy section with some gourmet chocolates. What I miss most was the service because a lot of the clerks were family or friends. Now all the local department stores are gone and they have a Walmart. Yuk!!!!

I was actually sending entries to the CPA to get the financials correct. I was able to do this because I am also a CPA even though I do not practice any more.

I am a business broker and also a CPA. I have been a CFO for a couple of large corporations and also owned my own business. That gives me a unique background in dealing with CEO' s or business owners looking to sell their business. I not only list the business for sale but once we have an offer from a buyer then I help that buyer find financing. I have also partnered up with an individual that offers a variety of financial planning tools as a value added service. My goal is to earn the buyers and the sellers trust and respect so when they are ready to sell or to buy again they will utilize my services. I also work with potential sellers to give them suggestions on how to increase the value of their business before they list it. Thanks, Francis Brewer.

When we have a potential buyer for one of our businesses we have listed, that decides after they has reviewed the financials and other pertinant data not to make an offer we always call the potential buyer back to find out why they decided not to. In some cases it is an issue that we can make them comfortable with and they may take a second look.
In the event it is someone wanting to list with us but decides this is not the time to move forward, I follow up with an email every three months and at the end of six months I call them to see if anything has changed. We also have potential listings that tell us they are not looking to sell right now so I put them in a data base and I send them a letter each year to see if anything has changed and keep my name in front of them.
