The infographic below is **based on lessons learned during a sale we facilitated** for a client.

During the sale process our client showed how listening to market feedback and being responsive and flexible can deliver an acceptable outcome.

As we often say, **selling is a dynamic process** – it's not a 'set and forget' where you get your [valuation](https://www.jpabusiness.com.au/business-valuations), list the business for sale at that price, and away it goes.

In this case, **the vendor achieved a satisfactory sale by applying each of the five guidelines outlined in the infographic.**
