Selling Your Business at a Premium
Tuesday, December 1, 2015. San Francisco, CA. 7:30am – 11:30am
Many mid-market CEOs sell their companies for far less than what they’d hoped for because they hadn’t prepared for the “Exit Day.” One such firm started in the early 1980’s and grew into an industry leader. After scorning an exit opportunity in 2007 (4X EBITDA wasn’t enough), in 2011 the business was sold in distress for just enough cash to pay off the bank plus seller-financed debt, which is now in default. The owners walked away from 30 years of toil with only their memories.

“Our middle managers could use training on how to be great manager.” If this statement rings true, this seminar may be a good fit for your managers.
CEOs and their C-suite can’t lift their companies to the next level when the middle management isn’t trained and ready to step up. We’ve had numerous requests for high quality middle management training, and so we’ve turned to the Ken Blanchard Companies, who deliver top quality management training to the Fortune 500 companies. I’ve tapped one of their top trainers, Ron Sacchi, to deliver their core management training program for our midsized company clients. READ MORE >
