What will separate successful business brokers from the rest of the industry over the next five years? How can brokers use technology and AI to create a better client experience? As business brokerage continues to evolve, the firms that thrive will be those that combine expertise with exceptional client service.

In this After Show conversation, Jason sits down with Patrick Lange of Business Modification Group to discuss the future of business brokerage, the growing expectations of buyers and sellers, and the importance of creating an exceptional client experience.

Strategies for HVAC Brokers, with Patrick Lange

Are you truly adding value at every step of your client’s journey, or just showing up for the transaction? What would change if you became the go-to expert in a single niche, giving away your hard-won knowledge without fear of “losing” business? The answer, as explored in this episode, is that genuine expertise and a mindset of service transform not only your results but your reputation. When you generously educate your market and commit to being easily found, you earn the right to charge a premium, and clients see you as indispensable rather than interchangeable. In this episode, Jason Cutter sits down with Patrick Lange, President of Business Modification Group, who built a nationally recognized business brokerage practice by dominating the HVAC space. Patrick Lange shares his journey from financial planning, through running and selling multiple service businesses, to becoming the “road warrior” HVAC business broker, emphasizing how niching down, relentless education, clear communication, and treating brokerage as a real business (not just a sales job) drive outsized results.

Empowering Business Owners to Exit Right, with Jeannie Keen

What if your biggest deal-killer isn’t the market or the valuation, but ignoring the red flags in the very first conversation? Are you building relationships that future-proof your pipeline, or just collecting names and hoping for the best? The path to a thriving business brokerage isn’t paved with shortcuts or shiny new tactics, it’s about knowing when to say no, investing in genuine relationships, and never forgetting that every client interaction is a long-term play. As brokers face a growing wave of transitions and a flood of would-be buyers, the difference between surviving and thriving lies in emotional intelligence, relentless learning, and a willingness to automate what makes sense, so you can focus on what matters most. In this episode, Jeannie Keen, owner and CEO of Sunbelt Business Brokers of Roanoke and Lynchburg, Virginia, sat down with Jason to discuss everything from the power of emotional intelligence in brokering deals to why relentless follow-up and knowing who not to work with matters. She shares real-world lessons from years in both therapy and business, revealing why the right people (in-house and as clients) are non-negotiables, and how automations and community give-back set her office apart. Hear a candid story about a deal that got away, and discover why self-awareness, strategic partnerships, and a long game mentality are the winning formula in today’s marketplace.
