About Our Guest:

Most business owners make the fatal mistake of believing the skills that built the business are the same ones to sell it. Jeffrey Feldberg shares from first-hand experience that the skills are entirely different. While running his eLearning company, Embanet, full-time, he dove into the crazy and wacky world of mergers and acquisitions. Jeffrey focused on business owners who either won big or lost big. He learned what to do and what not to do in the process. Countless hours and dollars went towards creating the 9-step roadmap of preparation. What was the result? He increased Embanet’s value 10X even though he had the same team and service.
