WHY THIS WORKSHOP EXISTS

Hiring senior talent is slow, expensive, and brings zero revenue with it.

The traditional senior hire costs you ~$30K and six months. A recruiter fee per senior hire, half a year to fill and onboard, and roughly a third walk inside the first year, for someone who shows up empty-handed.
You're paying full price for zero revenue. Every traditional senior hire arrives with $0 in attached business. You absorb the entire cost and wait quarters for any return.
There's a faster path most owners never consider. An acquihire flips the math, you acquire a senior operator for a $1 asset purchase, a commission on what they bring, and a salary, instead of paying to recruit one.
You get a book of revenue from day one. Instead of an empty seat, you bring on a senior leader who arrives with a working book of business already attached and is motivated to stay.
You can close in weeks, not quarters. The acquihire path runs 30–60 days from first call to close, and this workshop shows you exactly how to do it.

What you'll leave with

01

A working filter

Five questions that tell you in 60 seconds whether the deal in front of you is actually an acquihire.

02

A defensible structure

The $1 + commission + salary stack, with the variants that flex for $250K to $2M targets.

03

The document stack

Six papers that close it, what goes in the APA, the employment agreement, and the TSA.

04

A 30–60 day path

From first call to wire transfer, with the milestones you can compress and the ones you can't.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

The five moves of every clean acquihire.

01. Find the Fit

Find the right target, not the closest one
The five trigger situations, the target profile, the nine seller-pain signals to listen for, and where you actually find these owners.

02. Structure the Deal

The $1 + commission + salary structure
The default structure and its variants, plus how to decide between a service agreement and bringing them on as an employee.

03. Paper the Move

Six documents, sized for the deal
The exact document stack, and the focused diligence that surfaces deal-killers in week one instead of month three.

04. Transfer the Book

Transfer the clients without losing them
The legal and relational handoff, the revenue mechanics, and what the first 30 days look like so the book stays put.

05. Secure the Win

Protect both sides
The protections that keep the seller motivated, and how to hold the $1 structure when their lawyer pushes back.
