  • Establish Peer-Level Trust: Position yourself not just as an advisor, but as a strategic partner integral to their business and personal success.
  • Drive Early and Sustained Engagement: Implement proven frameworks to engage & maintain long-term client relationships, ensuring you're part of the journey well before and after the exit event.

Led by Casey Clark, CEO of Cultivate Advisors:

With firsthand experience as a founder who successfully exited his first business, Casey brings invaluable insights into what business owners seek in their advisors.

Have you ever wondered:

  • Why owners ghost you?
  • Why owners fail to engage in holistic planning?
  • Why owners fire you after the exit?

Casey pulls back the curtain on how owners think and what you need to be prepared to do and say to avoid these traps.

Under his leadership, Cultivate Advisors has guided thousands of entrepreneurs, earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years.
