If you are
thinking of becoming a business broker, here is some
information that you may find useful.
Sales
- A business broker is primarily a salesperson. You
sell business owners on choosing you, and your company,
to sell their business. You sell that business to
buyers. Much of your day is spent selling people by
using sales calls, telephone calls, or written
communication. If you are not good at sales, or don't
like it, this is not the career for you.
Experience - Previous sales experience is
very helpful. Ownership of a business is useful also.
Finally, experience in the field of business sales or
mergers and acquisitions can be a good background.
Drive, Hunger, Desire - Whatever you want
to call it, a burning desire to succeed makes a great
difference in whether you are successful in any career.
Education - We believe strongly in
education. Here are some good sources of information and
education:

for business brokers. Read this book to start: "The
