Why Great Marketing Feels “Annoying” And Why It Sells Businesses Faster

Every so often, I hear from a business owner who says something like:
“I don’t really like your marketing. It’s a bit… much.”
And honestly? That reaction tells me everything I need to know.
Because the truth is simple: effective marketing gets attention. Not by whispering. Not by waiting. Not by hoping. But by showing up boldly, consistently, and unapologetically.
And that is exactly how we sell businesses fast, and for top dollar.
The Marketing You Don’t Like Is the Marketing That Works
At a recent conference, I spoke with an owner preparing for an exit. Later, they mentioned they weren’t a fan of our marketing style.
But here’s the thing:
That same marketing is how we sell businesses in 3 months with multiple offers. It’s how we generate hundreds of serious buyers for niche companies.It’s how we consistently get full‑price—and often above‑price—offers.
If you want an average broker who quietly lists your business and waits by the phone, they’re out there. Plenty of them.They’re comfortable. They’re passive. They’re “fat and happy,” as the saying goes.
But they’re not the ones who get you the best buyer or the highest offer.
We Don’t Wait for Buyers. We Hunt for Them.
With over 30 years of marketing experience, we know exactly how to attract qualified buyers—even for businesses most brokers overlook.
That’s why owners in industries like:
Septic
Porta Potty
Well Drilling
Precast
Environmental Services
…trust us with their exit.
These aren’t businesses you can sell with a cute flyer and a prayer.They require real marketing, real strategy, and real hustle.
And that’s what we deliver.
Real Results: Two Case Studies
Example 1: Porta Potty/Septic Business – $1.8M Listing
900 units
475 buyers inquires
4 solid offers
Sold in 7 months at full price
Example 2: Septic Business – $500K Owner‑Operator
Rural location
150 buyers inquires
Sold in 3 months at full price
These results don’t happen by accident.They happen because we refuse to sit back and hope the right buyer magically appears.
We go after them.We drag them to the table if we have to.And we negotiate until you get the best possible outcome.
If You Don’t Want Aggressive Marketing, We’re Not Your Broker
Some owners want a quiet, passive, “list it and pray” approach.And that’s fine—there are brokers who will happily take your listing and do the bare minimum.
But if you want:
A fast sale
Serious buyers
Multiple offers
Maximum price
A broker who actually fights for your exit
…then you want a team that markets boldly.
Because bold marketing gets bold results.
Our Close Rate Says It All
Most business brokers close less than 20 to 40% of the listings they take.
Our close rate - 90%.
That’s not luck. That’s not chance. That’s strategy, experience, and relentless execution.
We Deliver Results—Even If Our Marketing Ruffles Feathers
If our marketing feels loud, intense, or “too much,” that’s because it’s designed to cut through the noise and attract the right buyers.
And clearly—it works.
If you’re preparing for an exit and want the highest price the market will bear, you need more than a listing.You need a marketing engine.
You need a broker who refuses to settle.
You need results.
The #1 Reason Business Owners Do Not Sell Their Business is that they say:
