Episode

In this episode of the Expert Network Team podcast, we’re joined by Jeff Eliason, Managing Director at SDR Ventures, to unpack the full process of selling your business—and how to position yourself for not just one, but two potential payouts.

Jeff breaks down what it means to “run a process,” how to prepare for a successful exit, and why recurring revenue businesses are hot in today’s M&A environment. Plus, Jeff Krommendyk shares a firsthand account of navigating an earnout with his own business.

You’ll learn:
What investment bankers really do
How to protect your valuation during due diligence
Why boring businesses with moats attract serious buyers
What the “second bite of the apple” really looks like
Why AI and recurring revenue are shaping today’s deals

This episode is a must-listen for business owners exploring succession, sale, or scaling.
