Consumer Technology Association Hosts Larry O'Toole As Keynote Speaker

Arlington, Virginia

On May 12, 2022, the Consumer Technology Association (CES) invited Larry O'Toole to address their members on his topic of, "Selling Your Company - Be Euphoric With the Outcome". Larry presented the top questions that sellers wish they had been asked long before they ever tried to sell their business. In his message to the group, Larry conveyed, "don't reinvent the wheel in trying to prepare your business for a future, euphoric exit event. Use time as a friend to learn from others that have sold their business. Don't hope you one day have a great exit event, use time as a friend to get a plan for achieving it."

CES event host, Frank Parotto, expressed - "Larry helped the group take off their glasses and for this webinar put on the glasses of a future potential acquirer. Doing this really opens the eyes of a business owner to what steps they should be taking now to build the long term valuation for their company. And we appreciated that Larry conveyed the information in a very practical way that gave members tangible steps they can start taking today to increase their liklihood of one day achieivng their desired successful business sale."
