What if everything you’ve built… doesn’t translate into a successful sale?


In this episode of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, Doug C. Brown sits down with Kevon Saber—serial entrepreneur, Stanford MBA, and M&A advisor—to unpack the most common mistakes sellers make when exiting their businesses.


You’ll learn:

✅ The 7 deadly assumptions that cost founders millions

✅ Why private equity buyers ignore your past—and focus on your future

✅ How to build real leverage before you ever list your company

✅ What to ask your advisors—and what they might not be telling you

✅ How deal structure can make or break your payout


Kevon has sold companies to public firms and private equity, scaled valuations by 100x, and now works with founders to exit with confidence and control.


If your business might be sold in the next 1–5 years, don’t miss this one.
