Sold over 330 Businesses and He's just getting Started!

On the #Poised for Exit podcast this week we had the honor of hosting Manoj Moorjani today, who's a Dealmaker at Calhoun Companies. Manoj has sold over 330 companies since starting his career as a business broker. He's about as well known as they come in the Midwest, and for good reason. He's got a network of former clients and professional advisors that's larger than most corporate directories.

Manoj has a memorable style and philosophy uncommon among his peers. He likes to take more of a hands off approach than hands on with his clients. He feels he doesn't need to babysit them; they can make their own choices. He definitely coaches them up, educates them on the process and works hard to get them the best possible deal structure, not just the best price.

His extensive network includes numerous community and regional lenders who compete for opportunities to write loans for his clients, because they know his deals are as good as closed. Manoj does not believe in having a business for sale that's not ready or that's priced too high. He'd rather have the owner prepare themselves and the business with an Exit Planner like Julie Keyes before coming to him to sell. The odds of a lucrative, successful sale are multi-fold at that point.

Manoj started as an assistant with Calhoun Companies 23 years ago and hasn't looked back. He's been the number one broker at Calhoun for 8 of the last 10 years, and he's not done yet! He loves his work, loves making a positive impact in his client's lives and loves making people's dreams come true. He shared some very compelling stories in the interview, and that was just a sample of what he's done and knows!
