I sit down with Steven Toole from Toole and Associates, who opened my eyes to why online reviews carry more weight than your entire marketing budget combined, and how most business owners are unknowingly breaking federal law when trying to get them.

#14 How to Value Your Business for Maximum Exit Price | CINA Wellness Webinar
The businesses that command premium valuations share one secret: employees who act like owners because they actually are owners. Serial entrepreneur David Guttman reveals why giving employees modest equity stakes often increases company value by far more than the percentage you give away, and how this strategy transforms your team’s approach to customer service, efficiency, and business growth. Learn how to structure equity deals that protect you while motivating your team, why vested interests eliminate employee anxiety during the sale process, and how quarterly board meetings with transparent financial reporting can make your business significantly more attractive to potential buyers.

Learn how she navigated 18 competitors during the pandemic boom, why she bought out her partners to become the last woman standing in the industry, and how she’s strategically relaunching to build the next Purell-level brand while simultaneously running commercial real estate.
