How do you take thriving business and gracefully exit it as the owner? Who do you approach to purchase your business? What should you know ahead of time to put your business in the best position for a future sale? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from business leader Aaron Goldstein. In his conversation with Jeremy, Aaron opens up about his work at Lincoln International, what buyers are looking for when purchasing a business, lessons he has learned along the way, customer success stories, and much more. You don’t want to miss a minute of this fascinating episode featuring Aaron’s story! 

One of the best aspects about a free market economy like the one we enjoy here in the United States is the ability to build a business in order to sell it for a profit. So many men and women are out there working hard to make an impact and deliver value to their audience, and that business is worth something! If you want your business to not only bring your revenue right now but provide an opportunity for you in the future - you need to pay attention to what Aaron Goldstein has to say. 

Business leaders need to consider now when their business is small and relatively easy to adjust what it will take to scale up. Time and time again, Aaron has sat down with high profile businesses only to explain to them that their business isn’t scalable and not as valuable to a prospective buyer. Aaron doesn’t just talk a good game - he has brokered impressive deals with high stakes involved.

Rise25’s mission is to connect you with your best referral partners and customers.

We connect you with strategic partnerships through our done for you podcast solution which is the best thing I have done for my business. 

1. Our Done for you Podcast service - We help your company completely run and launch your own podcast and make sure you get ROI from it.

We distribute your show across more than 11 different channels (spotify, google play, itunes, and many more) including a dedicated blog post and social media. You simply show up and talk and we do everything else. Our team has been working with podcasters since 2009. I personally credit podcasting as the single best thing I have done for my business and my life. It has allowed me to connect with the founders/ceo’s of P90x, Atari, Einstein Bagels, Mattel, Rx Bars, and many more. Besides making best friends and finding my business partner, podcasting has led to relationships with countless customers and referral partners.

The most important piece that most are missing is the right strategy and we make sure our clients get ROI so it becomes one of the most valuable parts of your strategic partnerships.

Since this requires a lot of humans (we have operations, developers, writers, audio editors, video editors) to do the work we have limited bandwidth and only want to work with the right company. If using a podcast for strategic partnerships, content marketing, and increasing clients and referrals sounds interesting to you go to www.Rise25.com and contact us or email support (at) rise25.com.

If your company wants to attract and connect with your highest level customers and referral partners then you can learn more and contact us to find out if your company qualifies at Rise25.com.
