Three students. Three first commissions. Full deal breakdowns.
A mid-level commercial property agent already talking to gym owners, clinic owners, and café operators daily. One gym owner said: "I'm exhausted. I don't want to renew this lease." That is not a property question — that is an exit signal. She ran the exit-clarity conversation from the script. Calm. No promises. The owner signed at 10% two weeks later. A local operator bought the gym.
An ex-founder who had built and sold a marketing services company. A friend — owner of a specialist B2B services firm — said: "I can't do this any more. I just want clean numbers and to be done." The seller wanted fantasy money. Price anchored against recurring contracts and trained staff. Engagement signed at 10% with a minimum fee floor. Three targeted acquirers identified. One moved fast.
Small-practice accountant. Long-term relationship with ageing clients. Zero sales background. High trust. One client in his late 50s said: "My daughter doesn't want this. I don't want to do another 5 years. What do I do?" Succession anxiety. Positioned as discreet exit adviser. Engagement letter signed. Five-figure fee locked in writing before the first buyer meeting.
Results vary based on access to motivated sellers, your market, and the specific deal. $15K–$300K typical first commission based on 8–12% fee on $150K–$5M main street transactions. Anyone without a signed engagement earned $0. Documented outcomes from programme graduates, not projections.

You need 10%

The cost of entering through a business broker franchise — including franchise fees, territory costs, and mandatory systems. That is the established market rate to start in this profession.
Franchise entry costs from publicly available FDD filings (US). Ranges from ~$50,000 to $200,000+ depending on territory. Source: FDD filings, IBBA industry data.
Signed mandate typically lands Weeks 2–4 with an existing owner relationship. Commission clears after due diligence and closing. A legitimate $15K–$300K cheque in 90–150 days is realistic.

No office.
Solo practice.
3–7 paydays a year.
Here is what your week looks like once the system is running. A typical active week is 15–35 hours of focused work. One or two owner meetings, one buyer qualification call, some document review.
You do not need a team. You do not need an office. You need one trusted owner, one signed engagement letter, and one motivated buyer — and you have a $15K–$300K event. That is the entire business.
Your first buyer may
already be in the system.
Every certified UNGLIN advisor shares access to the same buyer database. When you list a deal, qualified buyers already vetted by other advisors in the network are notified immediately. This is the structural advantage a solo broker never has — and what separates this system from any training course.
Live buyer database
A shared pool of qualified acquirers — operators, private buyers, and strategic acquirers — vetted across the advisor network. Your deal is visible to buyers your network would never reach independently.
Inbound deal referrals
Mandates that come into the UNGLIN system above or below a certified advisor's typical deal size are referred within the network. You receive referrals. You refer up when the deal outgrows your scope.
Group deal call with Den
Every active certified advisor can join. Live deal questions, pricing disputes, buyer objections, stalled mandates. Den works the room. No time limit per question — if the deal is real, it gets solved.
You already have
what this needs.
The fastest path to your first mandate is through relationships you already have. The system is built for people who already sit near motivated sellers — and need the framework, tools, and network to get paid for it.
Your retiring clients ask "what do I do with this?" You are already the most trusted person in the room.
The hardest part of brokerage — being trusted about money — is already solved. The system adds the framework to convert that trust into a signed mandate and a fee.
You spent 15–20 years inside an industry. Your network contains owners who trust your judgment about business.
You can sit with a 58-year-old manufacturing owner and speak his language — because you came from the same world. That is the unfair advantage no cold-calling broker has in your niche.
You already close complex, multi-month deals at high ticket sizes. The skill set for brokerage is identical.
The commission is entirely yours. No employer controls your territory or your percentage. One deal returns more than a quarter of your current annual OTE.
You have sold or operated a business. You understand how buyers think and what the emotional weight of an exit feels like.
That experience is your unfair advantage. Position as the calm adult who has been through this — and get paid for it.
You are already the "discreet fixer" in your network. Owners come to you when they want to do something quietly.
The gap between being consulted and being paid is a signed engagement letter. The system solves that gap in Week 2.
You talk to business owners every day. Exit conversations are already happening — you are just not being paid for them.
One gym owner saying "I'm too tired to renew this lease" is an exit signal worth $28,000. That is the conversation that produced Story 01 above.
Everything built.
Ready on Day 1.
Not a template pack. Not slides. Every item below is a working piece of infrastructure — ready to use on your first mandate the day you start.
Your branded brokerage website
A live, professional website under your name — built on UNGLIN infrastructure. Your contact form, your positioning, your practice. You do nothing except fund your ads. Domain included.
UNGLIN buyer network access
Access to the shared UNGLIN buyer database. Qualified acquirers vetted across the advisor network. Your first deal may have a buyer waiting before you list it. No solo broker has this on day one.
AI-assisted prospecting engine
Scored buyer pipeline and deal-matching logic that finds strategic acquirers beyond marketplace listings. Configured for your niche and market — not a generic spreadsheet you build yourself.
Engagement letter + fee architecture
The document that makes your commission legally enforceable before you introduce a single buyer. Field-tested on live mandates, with a walk-through on how to get it signed on the first ask.
SDE valuation model
Working recast spreadsheet with add-back logic, industry multiple ranges by sector, and lender-ready output. Open it, enter the numbers, get a defensible range — no financial modelling background required.
Deal packaging suite
Blind teaser, CIM structure, data room template, and NDA workflow. Take a listing to market without breaking confidentiality. Serious buyers engage — time-wasters don't.
Buyer targeting + closing kit
Identify 3–5 strategic acquirers — competitors wanting capacity, operators wanting expansion — and qualify proof of funds. LOI template, full due diligence checklist, commission wiring protocol.
Seller conversation scripts
The exact scripts for the discovery meeting, price anchoring conversation, objection handling, and the engagement letter ask. Not summaries — word-for-word, tested on real owners.
90-day post-close playbook
How to convert one closed deal into referrals and mandate #2 within 60 days. The compounding engine most first-time brokers miss — turning one $28K event into a recurring advisory business.
Three ways in.
One clear winner.
Every person who finds this page has considered at least one alternative. Here is the honest side-by-side.
Upfront. But the real cost is time and mistakes.
Competitor courses $1,595–$6,495. Franchise $50K–$200K + royalties.
Start with a Career Session. Full programme available after.
From zero to first mandate
in 35 days — week by week.
Not a syllabus. A sequenced execution path. Each week has one target outcome — not a list of videos to watch. Every deliverable is something that exists at the end of the week, not something you studied.
System setup, positioning, first prospect list
Your website goes live. Your LinkedIn is updated. You learn how to introduce yourself to owners without sounding like a banker. Niche selected. 20-business prospect micro-farm built using your existing network and local records.
Financials, valuation, first mandate signed
How to read a P&L for sale purposes. SDE calculation using your pre-built model. The seller discovery meeting — exact agenda, how to set price expectations without breaking trust. Getting the exclusive engagement letter signed on the first ask.
Packaging, teaser, CIM, buyer outreach
Build the teaser and CIM using the templates. Set up the data room. Identify 3–5 logical acquirers — and post to the UNGLIN buyer network. NDA before any CIM is sent. Log and qualify buyer enquiries from the first conversation.
Buyers, LOI, due diligence, close
Qualifying buyers for proof of funds and genuine intent. LOI negotiation. Due diligence management. Closing sequence. How to turn one closed deal into referrals and a second mandate within 60 days. First monthly group deal call with Den.
Deploy the system.
No mandate?
We keep going.
Deploy the system, run three documented seller conversations using the scripts, and have no signed mandate by Day 35 — Den extends full access to tools, network, and group deal calls at no additional cost until you do.
No time cap. No fine print. You keep working with Den directly until you have a real, signed, fee-protected mandate in your hands.
Applies to students who complete all four weeks and make at least 3 documented seller approaches using the provided scripts. The 1:1 format means Den controls delivery quality — if you do the work and still have no mandate, it is fixable.
Business broker salary

Typical main street deal: $150K–$2M business at 8–12% commission = $12K–$120K per close. Most active brokers carry 2–5 active mandates. Full income breakdown →
Estimates only. Actual earnings depend on deal size, fee structure, close rate, and market access. Conservative: 3 deals × $15K = $45K/year. Stretch: 8 deals × $40K = $320K/year. Full income modelling: How Much Do Business Brokers Make.

Career Strategy Session.
A 3-hour working session with Den. Not a sales call. You bring your professional background and your network. Den builds you an exact plan.
Map your network.
Get your first deal plan.
Den reviews your specific professional background, identifies your most likely first seller in your existing network, and maps the exact 90-day path to your first signed mandate. You leave with a written plan — not a pitch for something else.
- 3 hours 1:1 with Den — live working session, not a recorded video
- Your personalised 90-day mandate plan — specific to your industry, network, and geography

This is not a discovery call. Den uses the full three hours to do real work on your specific situation — not to explain the programme or sell you something.
Have a question before booking?
Den reviews every booking personally. If your background is not a fit for brokerage, he tells you honestly on the call — before you invest more time or money.

entry point.
Both paths lead to the same outcome — a signed mandate and a first commission. The session is for professionals who want to validate the fit before committing to the full system.

Intake is selective. Den reviews every application. Most students start with the Career Strategy Session first.
The system is built
on live mandates.
Den is a practising business broker and exit adviser with 18+ years of direct P&L experience across 50+ business types and 12 markets. He has advised on transactions across 4 continents and maintains relationships with a global network of PE and family offices.
Every template, script, and model in this system was built on a real deal — not reconstructed for teaching purposes. The engagement letter, the SDE recast model, the buyer targeting logic, the valuation conversation script: Den used every one of them on a live mandate before putting it in the system.
The 35-day programme was built because Den has seen the same failure pattern repeatedly: people spend months studying brokerage and never secure a signed mandate. The system solves that by forcing execution with direct support at every step — and a buyer network that removes the coldest part of the problem.

Questions that
matter.
Two ways.
One outcome.
Start with a Career Strategy Session to validate fit and get your plan. Move to the full programme when you are ready. Both paths lead to a signed mandate.
Den reviews every booking personally and responds within one business day to schedule.
Book Career Strategy Session — $997 → Get the Full System — $9,000 →After purchasing the Career Strategy Session via Gumroad, Den contacts you within 24 hours to schedule your 3-hour working session. Before the call, he asks two questions: what industries make up your professional network, and who in that network owns a business. The session itself is immediately productive — no onboarding, no preamble.
If the full programme is the right next step, Den explains it during or after the session and handles the transition directly. You never need to apply separately if you came through the session.
