Determine Goals and a Transition Plan
There are many important questions to ask yourself before you initiate your exit strategy. Do you have a legitimate strategy? What’s the reasoning behind the sale? What do you plan to do after you sell your practice? Is this a good time to sell? Where do you see yourself in the distant future? Answering these questions early will help you to plan, simplify, and execute the process while giving yourself confidence to move forward.
Market and Network Your Practice
Before you sell, you actually need to get people looking at your practice. If few people are aware of it, it’ll be much harder to sell. Market your practice wisely and make sure it’s exposed to as many relevant people as possible, especially brokers who are desperate for a sale. This could be through social media, direct contact, online or physical ads, or other networking methods that make sense for your situation. Figure out what marketing techniques work the best for you and then run with it, because the sooner the better.
Be Available
It might seem like a no-brainer, but once you start receiving offers, it’s absolutely crucial to follow up with all potential buyers to discuss things like accepting the offer, negotiating the offer, or declining it altogether. You need to be thorough and crystal clear with whatever message you convey because with a sale of this size and importance, there’s no room for confusion or miscommunication.
