Summary

Introduction and Overview

The podcast begins with an introduction of Jason Yelowitz, a representative from Quiet Light Brokerage, a company that specializes in selling internet businesses. The host, Umar Hameed, asks Jason to explain what his company does. Jason explains that they assist entrepreneurs who run internet businesses and are looking to exit their businesses. They help value the business, figure out potential buyers, and facilitate the sale.

The Process of Selling an Internet Business

Jason shares an example of a business sale he facilitated. He mentions a seller who had been in contact with him for several years, inquiring about the worth of his business. Over the years, the value of the business kept increasing. The business was a subscription-based service where teachers were buying a subscription to some online content that the seller had created. Jason's job was to figure out the metrics of the business, including its sustainability and potential growth. He then put together a business summary and financials, which were sent out to a list of potential buyers.

After receiving a couple of hundred leads, he started talking to the buyers to figure out their seriousness, qualifications, and financial capabilities. The seller and the potential buyers then had a chat, usually over Zoom, and they received a handful of offers. After due diligence, the deal was closed within four to eight weeks.

The Importance of Authenticity

Jason emphasizes the importance of authenticity in the process of selling a business. Whether it's through email, phone calls, or Zoom meetings, being authentic and showing genuine care and understanding of the client's needs is crucial. He mentions that he has only met a few clients in person out of dozens of deals, indicating that face-to-face interaction is not always necessary in today's global economy.

Managing Expectations

Jason also discusses how he manages the expectations of business owners who may have unrealistic expectations about the value of their business. He explains that he provides an honest assessment of what he believes the market will value the business at, based on his experience and understanding of the market. If the owner's expectations are too high, he advises them not to sell. Often, reality sets in over time, and the owner may return with a different attitude and more realistic expectations.
