Optimizing operations, cleaning up books, and systemizing processes can dramatically increase value before you sell. ➥ Choosing the right broker is critical. Some may prioritize buyers over sellers, so triple-check their process and talk to previous clients to avoid surprises. ➥ Price smart: list slightly higher than you expect to sell. Buyers usually negotiate down, and a higher starting point protects your upside. ➥ Post-acquisition growth thrives on systems and expertise. Optimizing listings, ads, inventory, and operations can double revenue—even for a brand bought for “super small” amounts. ➥ Recurring purchase models are gold. Consumable products, repeat buyers, and brand loyalty can accelerate growth faster than flashy campaigns. ➥ Leveraging influencer programs strategically—segmenting creators, VIPs, and deal groups—can drive 11%+ of sales without heavy spend. ➥ Continuous experimentation, collaboration, and smart use of customer feedback unlock unexpected growth. Even small tweaks to processes or partnerships can massively scale results.
