Build trust before digging deeper. Establish rapport first, then ask the challenging questions. While the highest offer matters, a seller who trusts your vision and values your relationship may prioritize working with you over merely accepting the biggest check. Relationships often unlock opportunities that numbers alone cannot. Contact O'Keeffe & O'Malley today for trusted M&A guidance that puts relationships at the center of every transaction. 🔗 in bio. #RelationshipSelling #BusinessBuying

Smart questions for your first seller meeting: ▪ "What inspired you to start this business?" ▪ "What's been most rewarding about running it?" ▪ "How do you envision your life after selling?" ▪ "What are you most proud of building?" Listen carefully—the answers reveal what they truly value. For more info about what to ask sellers, contact our advisors. We're happy to help buyers on their acquisition journeys. 🔗 in bio.

When meeting a business seller for the first time, focus on building rapport, not interrogating them. Ask about their founding story, what they love about their business, and their retirement dreams. Good buyers listen more than they talk. Contact our M&A Advisors if you're ready to start your acquisition journey. 🔗 in bio. #BusinessAcquisition #Mergersandacquisitions #kansascity
