Timing the Market

Now may be the best time to sell an alternative medicine school. A depressed economy means lower interest rates; lower interest rates increase the number of investors willing to take a chance on alternative medicine schools. As the interest rates rise, it will be more difficult for buyers to make the numbers work in their favor. So we see market timing as a concern that can be easily mitigated by applying fundamental sales strategies and adequately preparing your company for buyers.

Negotiation 101

As a business seller, you have to be at the top of your negotiating game. Information is the key to a great alternative medicine school negotiation. But before you can negotiate effectively, you need to have a clear sense of your minimum sale requirements. If you lack clarity about your goals, you're guaranteed to fall short of achieving of them. A negotiating strategy is essential because it not only establishes parameters, but also creates a plan for overcoming buyer objections and impasses.

If you're on the fence, do your research before you make a final decision.
