Every aspect of your business can change
Even if the buyer says that your “romance” will not change after selling your sales, it will not change after sale, it is rarely happening, as the buyer starts applying his fingerprint throughout your business.
These can be things like changing their products or website to better biased their products or other preferred shopkeepers. Or, changing all different systems using your business, marketing or operations, which will be curved to the legacy staff.
Or, other features of your business, such as your sales and marketing project details, or details of your sales commission plans, may have the experience of doing other things that are better with their current business. Therefore, the point here is to be ready for a lot of change.
Get ready for potential roofs
Even if a buyer says that they intend to keep them all after sales, that doesn’t mean they will.

You need to prepare to leave your baby
Your “baby” has grown up now and after sale is someone else’s “teen” who is not yours to worry. Psychologically, this can be a very difficult time for the founders to transfer because the new owner begins to implement their vision and the desired solutions, which are most likely to do how you were doing the same thing before.
This is okay; Let go and be flexible with the needs of the new owner, and they have no opinion that is placed in a stone. If you think they are doing something bad, this is their lesson to learn, even if you discuss your past education on such topics, and even if they are falling on “deaf ears”.
You may need to find a new passion

Ideas to close
I have been the CEO of three businesses who were scored and sold to a new buyer. The topics discussed in this post have come from the experience of what happened in the context of changes in controlling each of them.
Therefore, before you sign your name on your pending sale agreement, make sure you can deal with the aforementioned issues raised practically and psychologically. If you can’t, maybe you should not sell?
But, if you can, make sure you open your eyes to the sales process, and what you think you think can create after -sales issues against which you want to protect, make sure you have to negotiate your sale agreement before signing the dotted line.
Good luck!
