A special experience we facilitate for our members is our Quarterly Deal Collaborations. There, different firms are able to bring in a deal they’re working on, present the details to the group, and solicit advice from their fellow CIA members. 👂 As CIA member Sandra Preuss, at KP Tech Beratungsgesellschaft mbH puts it: “The monthly deal collaboration significantly increases the chance of successfully concluding mandates. We also greatly appreciate the fact that with Nick Olsen at CIA we have a professional organizer and moderator of such meetings. This makes a significant difference in the cooperation compared to the networks we have experienced so far.” 💬 Events like this are one of the many benefits of being a CIA member. We’re always finding ways to connect you with the resources you need to successfully close a deal! 🤝 Ginger Dean, Lisa Riley, Bobby Lewis, Michael Klumpp, Sandra Preuss

Fly the airplane. ✈️ In the M&A world, what exactly does that mean? Well, Patrick Burke breaks down why he says this to clients. In short, it means while your sale is in process, and due diligence is happening, you need to keep doing business as usual. Because keeping your team and growth on track is an essential part of a sale. The plane metaphor is a great way to explain this to clients. 🛫 Want to learn more?
