Rob Walling: 我创立Drip公司最初是为了解决自身需求,并非为了出售。后来通过转型成为市场自动化工具,公司发展迅速,但资金也日益紧张。在权衡融资和出售后,我们最终决定出售公司。出售过程历时13个月,期间经历了多次艰难的谈判,甚至差点放弃交易。最终,我们达成了全现金交易,并获得了一笔可观的收入。出售公司后,我并没有立即感到轻松,而是需要时间来缓解压力和调整心态。 Sherry Walling: 出售公司对企业家及其家庭成员的压力巨大,会引发各种心理挑战,例如焦虑、愤怒、失眠等。本书旨在帮助企业家更好地应对这些挑战,并顺利完成公司出售。 John Morillo: 我想了解Rob Walling是如何创立和出售Drip公司的,以及在出售过程中遇到的挑战和经验。

For the first time ever, we recorded a Built to Sell Radio episode in front of a live audience at the Value Builder Summit—a gathering of mission-driven advisors dedicated to helping founders level the playing field as they approach their exit.  Rob Walling has started, built, and sold multiple companies. As an investor and conference organizer, he’s seen hundreds of founders exit—some thriving, others struggling. He teamed up with Dr. Sherry Walling, a clinical psychologist specializing in supporting entrepreneurs, to codify what separates a successful exit from one that leaves an owner adrift. Their insights culminated in their new book Exit Strategy.
