Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is a tool that drives growth in a company. If you are looking to drive that growth, you know that business valuation is an important aspect of it. One of the key drivers for B2B digital marketing is business valuation.
As B2B Digital Marketers, what are you doing as far as business valuation is concerned? How are you positioning your company to be more attractive? What are the strategies and models you need to put in place to ultimately drive the growth you are looking for?
In this episode, Kison Patel shares different ways how you can drive growth and get the most value for your business.
