"I have been working with Eric for a while now and find him to be second to none when it comes to guidance, coaching, planning and overall depth of business knowledge. In previous coaching experiences, I was often left feeling intimidated, dumb, or "unheard" especially if my thinking didn't line up with their cookie cutter plan. After working through things with Eric, I often feel energized and confident and will look forward to our next discussion. I have NO reservations in trusting him to help me get the right things done and at the right time to make my business more valuable." Doug Cooper - WWOTC

Here's What I Can Do For Them. I will answer the 10 most important questions about selling or transitioning their company with the cold hard truth. And motivate them to move forward with the transition process. Quick Facts: 65% of all businesses in Canada and the United States are owned by baby boomers. Anyone born between 1946 and 1964. So this is a pretty big audience. 80% do not have a plan in place or know how to transition. Most are counting on the sale of their company to fund their retirement. The need is there. Can we work together? |

Thank you Eric. Your warm and candid stories obviously come from your genuine desire to connect with your clients and your years of taking the time to care for their businesses and their families. You discussed complex issues with ease by making them relatable from the point of view of someone who may be unsure of how to go about transitioning their business either to family or to a third party. Thank you for taking the time to educate us in a warm and humorous way. You made a potentially anxiety-ridden experience an actual pleasure. |

If you're an Owner of a Business (Family or Otherwise) there will be surprises and plenty of them. The expression 'they don't know what they don't know' was never more true. This is the single largest sale they will ever make and the one Owners are least prepared for.
Give your group of Owners a heads up and a peek inside the world of selling or transitioning their company. They may be thinking about it but I assure you they have little or no idea what they're in for. |
'Get The Triple Effect' and
enjoy life changing money. Sellers have lots of options
open to them for transitioning. |
