Let's cut the BS, chasing one-off commissions from business sales alone is a grind. You close a deal, get paid, then hit the reset button. Constantly hunting down the next listing, the next buyer, the next commission. It's feast or famine; the two sided sales cycle of hustle, wait and hustle.

What if you could transform your brokerage into a predictable, monthly recurring revenue (MRR) powerhouse? Exit consuliting is the secret weapon that lets you do exactly that. We're going to tell you how to build it into your brokerage, lock in steady cash flow, and multiply your income without constantly chasing the next deal.

_{Why Recurring Revenue Is the Game-Changer Brokers Need}

Recurring revenue means stability and growth without burnout. Instead of one big payday followed by dry spells, you build a pipleline of ongoing client engagements that pay your bills month after month.

Exit consulting fits perfectly here because preparing a business for sale isn't a one-off task, it's a process. Owners need months, even years of guidance; and if you're the expert steering that ship, you get paid the whole way.

Step 1: Package Exit Consulting as a Subscription or Retainer

Forget selling consulting by the hour or a one-time fee. Think subscription model.

• Monthly Retainers: Offer ongoing coaching, financial reviews, operational guidance, and progress tracking for a fixed monthly fee.
• Tiered Packages: Create "Bronze, Silver, Gold" plans with varying levels of service and support.
• Milestone Bonuses: Include success fees when major milestones are hit (e.g., valuation targets, listing readiness, SELL)

This predictable income makes your brokerage less feast-or-famine and more cash machine.

Step 2: Set Your Pricing to Reflect Long-Term Value

MRR pricing can range widely. $1,000 to $5,000+ per month isn't outside of the wheelhouse depending on business size and scope. Don't underprice. Your clients are investing in peace of mind, increased sale price, faster deals, and in a lot of cases, their legacy and retirment; all worth every penny.

Charge what you are worth. Remember, a $2,000 monthly retainer over 12 months equals $24,000, well worth it if you're delivering solid value and they gain $100,000 in valuation.

Step 3: Create Repeatable Systems and Deliverables

Recurring revenue demands consistency. Build systems to efficiently deliver your consulting without reinventing the wheel for every client.

• Regular financial health checks and operational audits.
• Monthly KPI dashboards and progress updates.
• Scheduled strategy sessions and coaching calls.

Automation and templates here save time and scale your capacity.

Step 4: Use Early Prospecting to Lock in Long-Term Clients

The magic of MRR through exit consulting is locking in clients YEARS before their business goes to market. Use early prospecting to identify future sellers and offer your consulting subscrition as a way to prep and increase value.

Deep involvement from the start builds loyalty and ensures you get the listing, and the commission, later.

Step 5: Build a Buyer Network and Cross-Sell Services

Position your brokerage as the go-to firm for exit readiness:

• Publish content that educates business owners on the importance of early prep
• Host webinars or workshops on maximizing exit value.
• Partner with local accountants, attorneys, and financial planners for referrals

Final Thought: Exit Consulting MRR = Less Hustle, More Muscle

Recurring revenue from exit consulting transforms your brokerage from a commission chaswer into a value-creating machine. You get paid consistently, deepen client relationships, and build a business that grows predictably; all while helping owners schieve better outcomes.

Stop chasing deals. Start building a recurring revenue monster.
