Today’s Buying and Selling environment has been termed “difficult” at best.  Buyers are educated, they often want to “self-diagnose” and they put selling professionals through complex buying processes.  All too often, sellers are left with no deal, sometimes no decision and have put in a tremendous amount of effort, with no result.  At our session, we’ll discuss what sellers are facing in the market, why it’s happening and how to professionally take control of the buyer/seller dance.
