How to Build a Network That Helps You Close More Deals

How to Build a Network That Helps You Close More Business Deals

If you’re serious about making money as a business broker, your network is everything.

In this industry, the best deals often don’t show up on marketplaces or public listings—they come through conversations, connections, and credibility.

So if you want to sell more businesses (and earn those high 15% commissions), building a strong referral network should be one of your top priorities.

🌐 Step 1: Understand That Deals Are Everywhere

Here’s the truth no one tells you:
People are always buying and selling businesses. They just don’t always know where to start—or who to trust.

Your job is to position yourself as that go-to expert. And that starts with showing up where your ideal clients hang out.

💬 Step 2: Start With Your Existing Circle

You don’t need a massive following to get your first listing—you need a few key conversations.

Start by letting your network know what you do:

• Post regularly on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.

• Share case studies, listings, and success stories.

• Ask your friends, clients, and former coworkers: “Do you know anyone who owns a business and might want to sell someday?”

You’ll be surprised how many say yes.

👥 Step 3: Join Facebook & Online Business Groups

Some of the hottest leads we’ve seen have come directly from Facebook Groups. Seriously.

Join groups like:

• Local business owner communities

• Franchise owner groups

• Entrepreneur and startup forums

• Industry-specific communities (salons, HVAC, e-commerce, etc.)

✅ Tip: Don’t just pitch—contribute value. Answer questions, share insights, and connect with owners. When they’re ready to sell, you’ll be the first person they message.

🧰 Step 4: Use Our Tools to Build Fast

🤝 Step 5: Make Yourself Referable

When someone thinks “Who can help me sell my business?” —your name should come to mind.

To make that happen:

• Keep your branding professional (we provide a free brand kit to our brokers).

• Be visible, approachable, and responsive online.

• Show social proof—screenshots, testimonials, listings, and videos go a long way.

People trust brokers who consistently show up and clearly know their stuff.
