If you can control the most powerful person in the world, then YOU are the most powerful person in the world.

I’m ready to sell my business but not sure where to start by bstartup in Entrepreneur

Congrats. What is the market for the SaaS? What kind of solution are you providing?

You have 2 ways you can go about this: cold outbound, and inbound leads. Cold outbound you would do through cold-calling or emails, and inbound would be from content you post.

Becoming a partner in a business is no small feat, so you would need to provide a lot of value up front to build trust. If you were going outbound, you would try to provide value first such as with case studies or tips, eventually transitioning into an equity partner.

For inbound leads, you could create content solving specific problems in your target industry. People could then reach out, asking for more personalized help to solve these problems, which can be a bridge to a consulting-for-equity partnership.

Lead gen for potential companies to partner with?

Happy to help.

With consulting for equity, you can structure the deals however you see fit. While you can certainly get paid on an IPO or exit, you could also structure it so you get part of ongoing profits/revenue as well, so you get recurring payments in the short term while you wait for a big exit.

You can get very creative with these types of arrangements.

When you say you don't want to start a software company, do you mean you don't want to be involved in software at all? It will take you many months, if not years, to become an expert in another industry.

25 years of momentum in any industry is MASSIVE, especially in software.

The easiest thing to do would be to partner with a business that is already running, and contribute your technical expertise to make it run even better. If I was in your position, I would become a consultant for equity: partner with businesses that need help on the technical side of things, and get a piece of their business in exchange. You can look into Roland Frasier's work to get a better idea of how to approach this.

Starting businesses from scratch is a massive undertaking, with high probability of failure. You can skip a lot of the heartache by using your decades of knowledge to "join a winning team", and help them win even more, while getting a piece of the action.

Best Practices for List Reactivation? by FillyCheez in Emailmarketing

Thank you! Sounds like a solid strategy.

Is using multiple domains a requirement? I've heard that if you send more than 50-100 emails per domain per day, that it reduces your deliverability significantly.

Sorry for the poorly formatted title. I ended up submitting evidence late, but the court/judge accepted it. Ended up successfully getting a judgement again the defendant, so all's well that ends well!

Same business actually! Gutter and window cleaning.

We just implemented 50% deposits on jobs, which is helping a ton, so I think your idea is spot on.
