The Coaching Process
Coaching follows the same three phases as every ExitHero sale. ExitHero does the outreach and the administration, so your time goes to judgment and advice.
Phase 1: Exit Strategy
Shape the Strategy
Meet the founder to understand the business and their goals. Help define why a buyer would acquire the company, review the ranked buyer list, add buyers our research missed, and sharpen the messaging for each segment before anything goes out.
Phase 2: Outreach
Prepare for Buyer Meetings
ExitHero contacts the buyers, follows up, takes the first calls and sets up NDAs and meetings. You help the founder read buyer interest and prepare for meetings with qualified buyers.
Phase 3: Negotiation
Advise Through Close
Help the founder compare offers, negotiate the LOI terms that matter most, and work through due diligence and closing. The founder leads the negotiation and makes every decision.
