After the close

What should I do in my first month after closing?

We close in a few weeks. I've read the advice about not changing anything for 90 days. What did you actually do in the first month that you were glad you did?

Meet every employee one on one in the first two weeks and ask the same three questions: what works, what's broken, and what they're worried about. Write the answers down. Change nothing yet.

Ride along with whoever does the job that brings in the money. For us it would be a week in the cab. Customers notice that the new owner showed up.

How the community works

Your name, or an alias

Members post under their own name and photo. Anyone can tick “Post anonymously” to post under an alias instead, with no name, no photo and no link to a profile or listing.

Experience, not advice

Members share what worked for them and why. For your own situation, the answer still comes from your attorney, accountant or lender.

No selling

No pitches and no “message me”. Brokers and other professionals are welcome to answer, and their badge says who they are.
