WELCOME I am Tony Vincent, President & Founder of AOCP. Introduce others in the room. Our job is to sell privately owned mid-market companies at maximum value. Depending on your time table, we’ll show you that this can mean selling at a deep discount compared to potential value; or It can mean selling at the highest price possible compared to your peer companies. B/F I go on, I’d like to explain the schedule for the workshop. Note that I said, Workshop. There will be exercises for each section of the presentation to help you focus what you are learning on your business. Rest Rooms Breaks Questions – after each topic, there we will take questions.
