M&A- focused
Bob Dale, Austin, TX
Corelytics helped us in at least 3 ways: 1. Geographic expansion
2. Monthly income to fill in revenue “valleys”
3. Allows us to start working with clients months or years before their M&A
Tips• First, review client’s financial picture to learn how they operate• Review dashboard before each coaching session • Don’t make changes to the system yourself, direct the client to • Use a screen-sharing tool such as GoTo Meeting, Join Me• Standardize your agenda for tracking commitments, goals, priorities, and tasks
that the client commits to. Help keep them accountable.
