Getting the Deal Done
In the world of M&A (business buy-sell) the deal is the sexy part but there’s no deal without all we do in the “back room.” This includes:
· The use of technology in the ever-more-complex search process to find a good match.
· Analyzing the little things in a company’s non-financial factors (customers, employees, market, trends, suppliers, etc.).
· Attractive and accurate client marketing materials.
· Client communication.
