Transcript:
Bill: We asked marketing strategist Hema Dey for some key ideas and strategies for business owners to think about when developing their marketing plan.
Hema: Marketing is like a war game, so you really need to understand the landscape of the people that you want to sell to, and who your competitors are. We always produce a functional marketing plan. Another thesis, which is three months worth of work, but something that you can actually go out and say, right, roughy, this is your target market, here are your threats, your competitors, and what you’re up against, and really measure what those gaps are to make sure that the sales model, and I know a lot of people see the word “sales” as a big taboo word, but a business cannot survive without sales and if you apply that right across even the professional service sector…if people can actually put a sales organization within their business, then I think they’ve got it right.

Quick tips from Tom Gledhill.
Transcript:
Bill: What are some of the major buyer types of businesses out there? It’s important to understand the differences, here’s Tom Glehill.
Tom: Buyer types, that I’ve identified and I use, are: you’ve got your strategic buyers and then you’ve got your sophisticated financial buyers, which are basically pegs and small investment groups. And then you’ve got your lifestyle buyers, which basically are people that are buying a job. The bottom of the heap you’ve got your industrial buyers. Now these are people like you and me perhaps, that run a company and you’re looking for something that you can purchase, an asset you can purchase, and pay at a rock bottom price. And when they come knocking on your door, you have to be very careful. Best thing you can do is get professional help at that point in time, so those are the four buyer’s types that I’ve identified.

Rod Hatley of Chhokar Law Group P.C. discusses concepts related to Asset Protection and Wealth Preservation. We add new content daily! Listen on iTunes: iTunes.ExitcoachRadio.com .
Transcript:
Bill: There's been a lot of talk lately about different types asset protection strategies, especially from business owners who are going from a complicated business asset to liquid. Here's Rod Hatley.
Rod: Unfortunately, there are people out there who prey on the unsophisticated, and they will talk to you about going offshore, hiding assets, and evading taxes. And, unfortunately, that does happen, but I'm here to tell you, a change in the law some years ago, we can achieve a similar level of protection domestically. We've found that it makes a lot more sense to keep a client domestically, if they'd like to stay. Let me say it this way: asset protection, if it's done legally and ethically, it's not about hiding anything, it's about simply structuring the owner of the asset so that they're safeguarded from risk, nothing more, nothing less. And we can help clients avoid taxes, but we can't help them evade.
Back with us again is Heath Goldman, President and CEO of ICON Wealth & Legacy Partners. Heath serves as a financial Architect for business owners and real estate partners. He is also a Provisors member and group leader for estate and succession planning. Heath knows the value of a good plan, and is an expert and helping others protect and create their legacy.

In order to make the best plan, these different people must be aware of each other’s actions to avoid any gaps. Clients often struggle with taking the time to understand what their team is doing on their behalf. You may think you know what is going on with your estate plan until the questions begin, and it is essential that the whole team - including family - is on the same page. We all want to leave a proper legacy, so listen to Heath’s tips for doing just that.

David: The only way you can scale past a certain point, is by letting go of that control, and so many business owners we see were scared to let go, to actually let decision making power go to other people. It's almost like we identify so closely with our business, Bill, that we can't imagine letting anyone else really have some of those reins, and until we can let that part go, we really are the limiting factor for our own company. I mean, it can't scale past us if we only have people that leverage us instead of people that actually own parts of the business, not literally in terms of equity, but in terms of emotionally and responsibility-wise, owning pieces of that business and making decisions for them.
