👁️ AI Toolkit

This month, we’re featuring: Lindy.ai - a platform for building AI agents that automate tasks, workflows, and business processes—no coding required. These agents handle things like email follow-ups, buyer vetting, and meeting scheduling while keeping context and memory, and they connect to your existing tools to run multi-step workflows seamlessly.

👉️ Broker Tip: Email Email Email Email

Still the most underrated and cost-effective sales engine in business brokering.

  • New listing? Tell buyers immediately.

  • Stay noisy. Weekly—or even daily—emails keep you top of mind.

  • Show receipts. Tell sellers you’ve sold businesses like theirs.

The squeaky wheel gets the deal. Do this consistently and you’re instantly in the top 5% of advisors.
