“You work your entire life building up a business that is your asset going into your golden years. And yet, you are saddled with the overwhelm of how to navigate the sale part, or what it may take, or how to go about it. It’s not the easiest topic to discuss with others, especially if…

I began my career in advertising, spending two decades as an Account Director and Strategist at major agencies Hayhurst, DMBB, Saffer, SMW and The Russo Group. That experience led me to found and run SOHO Marketing Inc., where I spent another two decades providing marketing strategy to Small and Medium-sized Business Owners. I quickly learned the unique needs of entrepreneurs—so well, in fact, that clients asked how I was “inside their head.” This evolved into a focus on business transition coaching.
Today, as Warren Business Development Center Inc. (WarrenBDC), we’ve grown into a boutique M&A firm, successfully bringing Buyers and Sellers of SMBs together.
I’ve shared my business-selling insights with thousands of Owners as a consultant, coach, speaker, and author of four books. To help more Owners, I created the Sell Your Business 4 More Roadmap to help you sell for more and faster. Some call it Sell Your Business 4 Millions.
If you’re a first-time seller, let’s talk. Click the Schedule Call with Eric button now to get my Special Offer: the Roadmap and four hours of one-on-one coaching.
I’ve been exactly where you are—building, running, and successfully transitioning a company. For over 26 years, I’ve been an entrepreneur, a 4x Author, a sought-after Speaker, and a dedicated Coach, specifically focused on helping owners like you.
My primary mission is simple: I help Boomer and Gen X founders solve the biggest problem in their business life—selling their company for its maximum value.
I’ve seen too many owners leave millions on the table because they don’t have a clear, proven process. I hate watching that happen. So, I took my decades of experience and created the system that fixes it.
I built the SYB4M Roadmap (Sell Your Business for Millions) to take the guesswork out of the exit process. I don’t use confusing jargon or complicated theory; my style is conversational, direct, and easy to understand—just like my best-selling books.
Whether you’re looking to secure your retirement or fund your next big venture, I am here to personally coach you through the entire journey. We focus on one goal: increasing your company’s value pre-sale so you can sell faster, easier, and for significantly more money.
It’s never too early to start preparing, and I’m ready when you are.
