Incoming Call...

Business Owner

"Hi, I'm interested in selling my manufacturing company. Can we discuss valuation?"

"Absolutely! We specialize in manufacturing M&A. I can schedule a confidential consultation with our senior advisor. Are you available this Thursday at 10 AM?"

✓ Consultation Booked • Thursday 10 AM

The Problem

M&A ADVISORS
LOSE DEALS TO SLOW RESPONSE

You're losing high-value deals because CEOs can't reach you after hours. Prospective clients call at 9 PM, get voicemail, and hire your competitor. Your pipeline is suffering.

You Miss Calls When Deals Are Happening

A CEO gets your referral at 8 PM, wants to discuss selling their company, and gets voicemail. By morning, they've already scheduled with another M&A advisor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$250K+
Average commission per lost deal

Your Team Is Drowning in Inquiries

While you're in a due diligence meeting, five calls come in. Valuation questions, consultation requests, urgent client updates—you can't be everywhere at once. High-value prospects get frustrated waiting, and you lose mandates.

The Cost
30+ calls/day
Per M&A advisor

Consultations No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You block out two hours, prepare the confidential materials, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted prep time and another lost mandate.
