In today’s fast-paced business world, even the smallest things can have a huge impact on maintaining, selling, or buying a business: the minute decisions we make have a rippling effect, influencing industry standards and international market ups and downs. 

At Zoellner Garten & Co. in Cincinnati, OH, they know what it takes to stay afloat in the ever-changing world of business. To help your company succeed, they list a few things that can play a major role on buying or selling a business:

• Communication: Nowadays, nobody wants to be involved with a business that doesn’t answer the phone or can’t communicate properly. With all of today’s technological advances, there’s no reason not to be available, except for rare occasions. Talking and staying in touch with your clients is essential for growth, and building your brand and reputation no matter what stage of development your company is at.
• Fear & Timing: World events can influence the way we do business. Take the most recent attacks in Paris or the sad events that took place in the United States on 9/11. Events like these create a lot of uncertainties at home and abroad. For example, one of Zoellner Garten & Co.'s contacts, a vice president of a large public company, once said that they don’t budget for catastrophes, they deal with them. It’s important to always be aware of what’s happening globally and at home; control what you can and work through the things that are beyond your control.

• Organizational Factors: Whether you’re maintaining a business or trying to buy or sell one, organizational factors will play a huge role in your success. Keep in mind that no matter what side of the fence you’re on, a company’s purchasing policies, human resources team, organizational structure, and objectives let clients know you’re serious about what you do. Maintaining a well-organized business is the key to success.
