Podcast 044 with Rob Walling","description":"This is episode 44. Today we are joined by Rob Walling, a serial web entrepreneur who has been building, acquiring and revamping digital properties since 2005.   We had Rob on back in episode 42 to talk about his incredible turnaround with the SaaS company Hit Tail. During that presentation, Rob talked about the genesis of his latest company called Drip, which focuses on marketing automation. In today\u2019s episode, Rob is still fresh from the year-long acquisition process with Leadpages.   We\u2019ll go deep into the day-to-day aspects of the acquisition hearing more about the effects it\u2019s had in his life and work. Highlights What was going through Rob\u2019s head when the email came in from Leadpages founder Clay Collins asking him if he\u2019d like to sell his company. The biggest deal breakers that caused him not to pursue other acquisition offers. Which advisors you definitely need during an acquisition, and the right times to bring each of them into the process. And to top it all off, Rob\u2019s daily tactics to manage the stress of an intense year long process. Listen Now: Next Steps If today\u2019s in-depth look at navigating the acquisition process is really exciting for you, I\u2019d venture to guess that you\u2019re an online business owner looking to increase the value of your business \u2013 or maybe you\u2019re looking to make a purchase of an online business \u2013 or perhaps you\u2019re just looking to make your business more scalable, even if you don\u2019t plan on selling.   Listen, there\u2019s a lot to learn, and today\u2019s episode is a great starting point and maybe even an intermediate step\u2026but if you\u2019re hungry for this kind of knowledge, you\u2019re going to want to go even deeper.
