Want to swap your own company

Because we’ve helped dozens of business owners to leave their own company, to spend more time in their own company, we’ve learned how ‘big’ that step feels.

We’ve learned that preparing any business for exit can feel emotional, too. Complicated. Scary, even.

That’s why a friendly conversation is where every successful exit we’ve ever overseen, begins. Unsalesy. Patient. Calm.

Ready When You Aren’t.

Here at Maskew Cordon, we’ve also learned it’s OK for you to feel ready to exit your business. And at the same time know that your business is not ready. We’re used to that.

It’s fine that you’re not as ready as you should be.
Because we are.

Over 80 years we’ve learned that the fear of not being fully ready is real. And that the last thing you need is salesy approaches from people like us. (Good job. We don’t have salespeople).

Friendly support? That’s better!

Who's there?  Knock knock

Who’s There? Knock Knock.

So, can we really anticipate, for you, what’s ahead when exiting a business?

Yes. We can.

We’ve learned so much about whatever and whoever comes a-knocking at times like this.

Maskew Cordon has been helping exiting business owners to balance achieving the highest sale value, in the shortest time, for decades.

We enjoyed a great working relationship with Andy and Juliana. It helped in us working together to confirm our long-term goals, identify obstacles that were blocking us from achieving those goals and to create a plan to remove the obstacles. They stayed with us while we carried out the plan and kept us on track with a very effective ‘pointy stick’ management tool.

 Without Andy and Juliana, we would have not been able to think the way that we do, we would have stayed focused on the wrong things and never been able to move on. They bring the ability to think outside the box and improve business development.

1. Great rapport with client (ie: me)
2. Excellent advice

MD
Construction Services Company

We have been encouraged to think rather differently to resolve business critical issues and that has assisted us in our business growth strategy. Andy and Juliana’s style is to encourage, ask questions and search out responses. Their personable nature creates a positive atmosphere where private and sometimes difficult discussions can take place.

Partner
Financial Services Firm

They have a unique way of helping businesses 'see the wood for the trees'. They are able to focus on the big picture where most business owners tend to get lost in a mass of smaller, less important issues.

MD
Manufacturer of Environmental Products

 


They are great listeners who get a quick handle on how the business is structured and works. Based on these facts they are able to pose questions that create focus and thought provoking concepts that are designed to either streamline or progress the business. Their communication skills are excellent and thus are able to work high end or low end with the company / individual concerned. Overall, the service is excellent and I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone.

After starting out our sessions being very sceptical and perhaps a little apprehensive, they have been extremely useful and enlightening. I have been shown ways and opportunities that I most definitely would not have been able to think about without your help and coaching methods.

MD
Market Research/Telemarketing Company

The business has seen an increase in turnover this financial year and we feel some of the credit for this should sit squarely on Andy's shoulders.

MD

I gave a 9 because I don't ever give 10.

Director

You did a great job at finding the pain and working with each member individually and facilitated regular sessions where we needed to be focussed.

MD

Maskew Cordon are able to quickly understand my needs and the needs of the business and have the ability to cut through the superficial chat and get to the heart of the issues.

MD
Manufacturing Company

They have played a big part in changing our mindset, attitude and behaviours within the organisation to the extent that we are a different company now with a much better approach to customers.

MD
Software Company

At the time we were introduced to Andy and Juliana, we were in quite a pickle. They helped us review our client acquisition strategy and implement an entirely new approach to winning the right sort of new business. With their help, within 12 months sales had grown significantly and we were back on track.

MD
Specialist Medical Consultancy

We had issues when Maskew Cordon first came to us that we were aware we needed to address. They helped us analyse these issues and provided guidance throughout the whole process.
