The sale of a business impacts many stakeholders: employees, shareholders and advisors; to name a few.  And of course, the largest impact is on the business owner. The decision to sell is often difficult and perhaps the biggest decision an owner will ever make. Wouldn’t it be nice if the sale process didn’t trigger negative emotions or worse; seller’s remorse?
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Denise Logan,  “The Seller Whisperer” and Author of The Seller’s Journey.
In this episode Denise provides insights about the critical elements that are often missing from the M&A process. By understanding these elements, the likelihood of better outcomes (and more of them) increases dramatically for all stakeholders.
About Denise Logan:
Weaving together her background as a lawyer, mental health professional and business owner has enabled Denise Logan to deftly guide hundreds of business owners and their professional teams as they navigate the complex emotional journey of selling their business and letting go into their own version of what’s next.
Denise knows that to business owners, selling a business is more than a transaction. To them, it is an emotionally fraught period of transition, filled with unexpected highs and lows, with no clear vision of what waits at the end for them and their family. Her passion for this work is colored by her own experience of being an unprepared business owner who made an abrupt and choppy exit from her company, after ignoring the signs that it was time for several years.
Her own exit was followed by several years traveling in a 36-foot motorhome all over North and Central America, on her own, with two sweet little dogs, but that’s a story for another day.
Denise’s two decades of research and thought leadership on the subjects of work, money and meaning and how executives navigate the waters of transition and reclaim their sense of identity outside of their business has made her a popular speaker to audiences on three continents and a frequent commentator on the subjects of business succession planning, transition and legacy. She has also provided advanced training to advisors employed by some of the world’s largest financial institutions, law firms and accounting firms, helping their clients successfully transition their businesses to new owners. And she is the author of The Seller’s Journey.
About the Host:
Dave Bookbinder is the person that clients reach out to when they need to know what their most important assets are worth. He’s a corporate finance executive with a focus on business and intellectual property valuation. Known as a collaborative adviser, Dave has served thousands of client companies of all sizes and industries. 
 
Dave is the author of two #1 best-selling books about the impact of human capital (PEOPLE!) on the valuation of a business enterprise called The NEW ROI: Return On Individuals & The NEW ROI: Going Behind The Numbers. 
He’s on a mission to change the conversation about how the accounting world recognizes the value of people’s contributions to a business enterprise, and to quantify what every CEO on the planet claims: “Our people are this company’s most valuable asset.”
