What Acquirers Are Really Looking For

Legends and Leaders,

Is Your Sales Team an Asset or a Liability in Your Exit?

When acquirers evaluate your business, one area that often carries more weight than you might think is your sales team.

It’s not just about the numbers – it’s about the systems and scalability. Buyers want to see a well-structured sales process that ensures future growth. The question they’re asking is simple:

Can your sales team drive predictable, scalable revenue after you exit?

In our latest podcast, we covered what acquirers are really looking for, including:

  • Sales Trends: Consistent, upward sales trends indicate a stable and growing business.
  • Systems of Production: Clear, replicable sales processes are key to ensuring future revenue.
  • Future Upside: Buyers want to see opportunities for growth. A scalable sales team means the company has room to expand.

If your business relies heavily on a few key individuals or lacks well-documented systems, acquirers will view it as a risk. But with the right adjustments, your sales team can become one of your most valuable assets during an acquisition.
