Hi Guys,
Wanted to ask if you have ever worked with terminally ill clients that are in a rush to sell their business?
I work on the sell-side and find this to be quite a tough part of the job, especially as some of these businesses will take over 8-10 month to sell.
This brings me to the next question, is there a special place in hell for salespeople ?

Selling a business under a short timeline is always ill-advised.
Closed a deal some time ago where the CEO was dying. CEO still didn't end up dying by the time deal closed but he walked away with $30mm dollars so he's living it up with people on Cayman Islands waitng.
It sucked though because he wante dto make sure he got good moeny since he was goin gto not live much longer. Had to work extra hard for this!
Also, my wifi connection to this website sucks. MIght accelerate my leaving this website for good.
