888DEAL919 — The Direct Line for Business Owners Ready to Sell
If you own a business and you are serious about selling it — not thinking about it someday, not curious about what it might be worth in theory — this number is for you. 888DEAL919 is a direct line to Scott Sylvan Bell and the Exit Ratio 360 advisory team. One call. Real answers. No intake forms. No waiting three weeks for a discovery call.
Who This Call Is For
This call is specifically for business owners who are doing at least $2 million in annual revenue with a profit margin of 10% or better. There is no upper limit. If you are running a $10 million business or a $200 million business, the call is the same — a direct conversation about your specific situation, what your business is worth to a buyer, and what the path to maximum exit value looks like from where you stand today.
If you are below $2 million in revenue or below 10% profit margin, this is not the right conversation yet. The 5-4-3-2 exit planning framework is the right starting point — build the foundation first, then call when you are ready to talk about a transaction.
What This Call Is Not
This is not a general business advice hotline. It is not a place to get free consulting on growth strategy, marketing, or operations. It is solely for business owners who are ready to have a serious conversation about selling their business. If that is not where you are, the content at scottsylvanbell.com is the right starting point.
What Happens When You Call
You will speak with a member of the advisory team to determine if you are a good fit. Depending on availability you may be asked to leave a message and a member of the team will return your call. Either way the goal is the same — a real conversation about your revenue, your profitability, your industry, and what you are trying to accomplish with a sale.
Scott Sylvan Bell created the Exit Ratio 360 — a 360-point business evaluation system built specifically for mid-market owners preparing to sell. He serves as Director of Program Training at The Abraham Group alongside Jay Abraham and spent years coaching inside Roland Frasier’s EPIC acquisition program. When you call 888DEAL919 that is the experience you are accessing.
Why a Phone Number Instead of a Form
888DEAL919 is mentioned in over 100 videos for one reason — serious business owners would rather pick up the phone than fill out a form. A form is the beginning of a sales process. A phone call is a conversation. If you have already decided you want to sell and you want to talk to someone who knows what that process actually looks like, the fastest path is the phone.
