One of the great privileges of doing M&A advisory exclusively in the transportation industry is the people. So many of our clients are business owners who are good business people with big hearts. They expect every penny they deserve from the sale of their trucking or logistics company. They also want to make sure they secure the right “next” home for their employees and honor them through the exiting process. Here are three ways our clients have done that well.
We coach our clients to be open-minded to the fact that their exit strategy goals may evolve as we view multiple offers during the sale process and as we examine how each buyer’s post transaction strategy affects our key people. There is not a right or wrong way to honor your employees. The key is to give yourself options. When our clients have options for how best to bless people the truly care about, they do amazing things that inspire the world around them, Tenney Group included.
