Recitals

Nobody talks about the moment after the wire clears.

The broker's gone. The lender's gone. Your attorney sent the final bill. And Monday at 8 AM, you walk into a building full of people who've worked for the founder for a decade — and have no idea who you are.

Every book ends at the closing table. This playbook starts there.

Exhibit A

Know exactly when to have the announcement meeting — and what comes after.

The playbook maps the critical first 48 hours — when to gather the team, what tone to set, and why the first-week 1-on-1s determine whether 10-year employees become allies or your first resignations.

Exhibit B

Understand the retention window before it closes.

Learn when stay-bonus conversations need to happen, why top-10 customer calls can't wait until week three, and how to sequence the moves that protect the cash flow backing your personal guarantee.

Exhibit C

Stop guessing what to do Monday morning.

The complete 90-day integration timeline — phase by phase, week by week — including the counterintuitive "don't change anything yet" list, so you run the business with a plan while every other first-time buyer is panic-Googling at 2 AM.

For Buyers Under LOI

Want the playbook implemented with you — not just handed to you?

I'm not a coach. I run post-close integration for a living — I've stood in the breakroom on day one, multiple times, while a founder told his 15-year employees the company was sold. The Post-Close Sprint makes me your integration partner from LOI through day 90 — the exact playbook on this page, installed in your deal, with me in the trenches beside you. Here's the calendar we run:

Pre-Close · LOI → Signing

Working capital true-up review, day-one plan built, announcement scripts prepped — your key-employee map drafted before you own the problem.

Week 1

The announcement meeting, scripted and rehearsed together. 1-on-1s launched, banking and payroll cutover checklist running.

Weeks 2–4

Top-10 customer calls, stay-bonus agreements out, your 13-week cash flow live and reviewed together weekly.

Weeks 5–12

Weekly operating calls — cash, people, customers, lender reporting — plus me on speed-dial for the surprises. There are always surprises.
