What's discounting your business today

Three things buyers will quietly knock the multiple for.

Founder's book = the firm.

If the top clients call the founder personally, the firm sells like a job, not an asset.

Hourly billing model.

Buyers discount time-and-materials and reward retainers, subscriptions, and outcome-based pricing.

No reusable system.

Every engagement is a snowflake — buyers pay for repeatable methodology, not freelancer collectives.
