If you do not want to hear different thoughts or strategies
If you want a critical and strategic approach, strengthening the client for all possiblefuture scenarios and not just for one kind of transaction
If you do not want a critical approach to the company as a whole and just want anadviser that “sells it as it is” for the best price possible
If you understand that a competitive bidding process is just one of many alternatives
If you just want a broker for a competitive bidding process based on price
If you understand the value of having singular focus and priority
If you do not see value in an exclusive advisory service, if you only want a broker todo a transaction at the cheapest brokerage fee possible
If you want an advisor who understands how strategic advice connects to yourcompany’s operations on-the-ground.
If you are not concerned that the party advising you on major actions does not havethe background to understand how your company operates on-the-ground.
