Selling a business is not quite the same as selling a car or even a house!
Today Andee looks at what you are really selling when you sell a business and what you need to do to ensure you can get ‘top dollar’ for your business when you want to sell it.
Taking the right amount of time to get a business ready for sale can make a huge difference to the price you can ultimately get for it.

One of the great attributes for people online is consistency.
I have found that in developing this blog it is important to be consistent above everything else.
When I first started out I was hoping to make a blog post every day.
As many of you know I am a fan of Seth Godin who manages a blog post every day so I tried to do that.
The outcome – failure
So what happened when I was inconsistent with my blogging.
The readers became confused and didn’t know what to expect
Managing expectations is particularly important in business and even more so in the online world of blogging
When people know when I’m blogging I can always meet their expectations with regard to timing.
As a result they build trust in me as a communicator and remain as part of the tribe.
Online is a transparent way of communicating so the more consistent I am, the easier it is to meet expectations and build trust.

The online community can be very unforgiving particularly if they get a sniff of a lack of authenticity.
So building trust is an important component if you want to build a quality circle of people around you.
One of the things I have found is that trust is built slowly and intentionally.
The greatest tool I have found to do this is using FREE to demonstrate authenticity and value to my potential clients.
Small business owners are naturally sceptical because they have to be to survive in the rough and tumble of the business world.
If I can demonstrate value in our FREE offers then in time they will trust us to buy something.
FREE provides the mechanism for One Sherpa to build a circle of trust to demonstrate that value and add to our community of thriving small business owners
