This week on the podcast, I had insightful chats with two mortgage brokers: a seasoned 24-year veteran looking to sell their book of business, and a newer broker interested in buying one. Interestingly, I gave both the identical advice: putting both parties in a win-win position can increase revenues for all parties. I'll talk about my personal experience, where I played the long game and made five times more money selling a business book a few years ago. 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
