Investors WANT to spend their money.
Yes, they actually want to write big, big cheques.
For years, I believed that the stories of successful SaaS businesses that attracted massive investments were just myths.
Unicorns.
Until 3 things happened:
- I sold my first company (then did it two more times)
- I became an investor in over 40 businesses.
- I met experts who specialize in SaaS selling
One thing became crystal clear to me.
Businesses get bought and sold all the time! The secret sauce is knowing what investors/buyers are looking for, and why.
So let me introduce you to an expert.
Thomas Smale is the founder of FE International… and he has a 94.1% success rate for selling businesses.
Want to debunk those myths? Tune in to this week’s episode of Escape Velocity where I interview Thomas and you’ll get the juicy truths about buying and selling a SaaS.
Thomas’ company is responsible for literally trillions of dollars worth of sales. In this ep, we discuss:
- How FE International approach sales
- The truth behind valuation ← You need to hear this!
- Two baseline stats for explosive sales
- How your pricing model is the Number 1 sign of growth
- What buyers look for when acquiring a business
This whole interview is a goldmine. But the best gold nugget is at minute 30 when I asked him:
“Thomas, imagine that we are starting a new SaaS company – the best SaaS company. What needs to be true? What are the characteristics of this business?”
Boom.
Those answers are everything you need to correct in your business now!
