  Learn To Sell Your Business

  The first step is to attract attention. You only do this by becoming more visible in the world (get seen), and appearing to be different (get noticed). Being visible requires more than just seting up a web site, or putting an advertisement in a magazine. Those things can help; but they can also be a waste of money if not done properly; or id not done in conjunction with other promotional activities.

  The second step is to develop a relationship. This does not happen without dialogue (ie. A two way communication). Employers will employ people who they can successfully communicate with. Buyers will deal with businesses they can successfully communicate with. Everyone prefers to deal with someone they know.

  • Having a qualification and being unkown does not get you a job.
  • Having a lesser qualification, but being known for having unique knowledge and skills will always be a more attractive proposition
