Most
of what we deal with is businesses for sale and business
opportunities/franchises, exposing projects which need funding.
2)
PERCEIVED VALUE - The marketplace is not foolish. No matter how much
advertising I do, the asking price and the words and pictures of your
presentation on my site have to convey a value equal to your asking
price. The prospective buyer views the pictures and reads the words. If
they think the value is not there, you will get no response. YOU ARE
RESPONSIBLE TO PRICE YOUR OFFERING CORRECTLY.
We
reach the marketplace. We have interested buyers looking on our
website.
When
you advertise with us one of 2 things will happen.
a)
Your offering is of interest to the marketplace at the price you are
asking and the marketplace responds.
OR
b)
The marketplace may look at your offering and decide they are not
interested in contacting you as they don't perceive value at the price
you are asking.
3)
NEGOTIATING - We are not real estate agents and we do not negotiate
for you. Our job should you choose to engage us will be to advertise
your opportunity to the marketplace which we do very well. If you should
need help with presenting your business or explaining the value of your
business, I suggest having your accountant or lawyer work with you on
this aspect. FINDING A BUYER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF SELLING but
you must also have a plan for dealing with the buyer.
We
extend credit to you and allow you to pay us the advertising fee from
proceeds of sale. All we require is that we can ensure payment as we
spend hundreds of thousands in advertising each year and have to be able
to recoup those expenditures. Our advertising fee is set at the start
and is not dependent upon any particular sale/price being
achieved.
We
have been at this for 7 years. Our growth rate increases each year. We
work on a “gather and funnel” principle. We attract/gather the
opportunity seeker as they look thru the USA Today, Globe and Mail,
Vancouver Sun, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Winnipeg Free Press,
Business in Vancouver, Western Investor Etc. We attract/gather the
opportunity seeker as they find us thru the papers, television or the
search engines. Once they find us we funnel them into our listings on
the Pin Website.
If
you go to Google the biggest search engine in the world and type in
almost anything we come up.
You
will find we are at or very near the top on hundreds if not thousands of
searches on Google and other search engine searches. Once someone finds
our website they generally return as we have earned their respect and
have real opportunities available for every size and taste.
BOTTOM
LINE:
We reach the marketplace
better than any other way I know.
