Behind the Scenes: The Art and Science of Selling a Business
Last month, we hosted our inaugural Behind the Scenes event, a unique and exclusive series of two-hour sessions which provided an inside look into our processes, giving attendees a comprehensive understanding of what we do and how we do it. This innovative concept marked a significant step for us, providing an excellent opportunity to offer a deeper insight into our operations and services. With limited places, these sessions allowed business owners to connect directly with the dedicated team responsible for delivering our exceptional work.
Here is what some of our attendees had to say:
​​
​"Thanks for welcoming us in this unique way. It was a great mechanism to meet the full team and at the same time having the opportunity to have all your questions asked. There is a transparency in the process which illustrates the confidence that the directors have in their team, backing up their opening pitch which makes much reference to the team.”
​
“It was insightful to see what happens through the deal stages and the level of detail the team go into.
I did learn a lot and can see the value of the process.”
​
"We appreciated the welcoming non 'ivory tower' approach, which in our opinion is the way of business going forward. Rick’s presentation was informative and conveyed exactly what you do and how you do it."
​“I think the day was great and an excellent idea to show people the ‘back-end workings’ of your systems and processes.”
The event was a great success and we therefore plan to hold further sessions in the future. If you are interested in attending, please let us know and we will be sure to send you an exclusive invitation. Email us at connect@dealleadersint.com
