Every dealmaker has been there: A banker calls about a platform acquisition that looks perfect on paper. But by the time the call comes, three other bidders know about it. Valuation expectations have moved. You never had the chance to build the relationship that would have locked in that proprietary deal. Companies come to the decision to sell gradually — often a year or more before a banker is hired or an auction launches. To win, deal teams have to see those signs before their competitors do. In our newest guide, we break down how sale preparation unfolds inside a company, why the signals that dealmakers typically rely on keep arriving too late, and the behavioral intelligence that's changing the game.
