Ahern’s company comes out to the trucking business it will be evaluating. Then, for the 72 hours, they analyze all the factors that will impact how much the company will go for on the open market. They look at things like their pricing strategy, marketing, the employees, as well as the software they use for day to day operations. Finally, they also analyze their business plan.
Once he has this information, he then gives them a bullet point presentation to help them improve their strategy with the ultimate aim of selling the business. He focuses on how to improve the advertising and lower the business costs, both of which are key variables in determining how much the business will sell for on the open market. Following this, Ahern’s company tells the trucking firm roughly how much they think the firm is worth, and can get on the open market.
