Come talk about strategies and mentality to make your book of business selling more valuable.   Key talking points from this episode: Find a partner willing to prioritize your business and maximize its potential. Introduce your buyer to all your referral partners to ensure a smooth transition.  Continue marketing to your client database even after selling your book of business. Framing the transition as a partnership rather than a sale. Common mistake of segmenting revenue streams between the seller's and buyer's books of business
