In this episode of Freedom to Exit, Lani Dickinson drops a powerful truth:

You don’t need more leads—you need better follow-up.

Lani reveals why most businesses are leaking leads (and cash) they already paid to generate. She shares how slow or missed follow-up destroys not just your current revenue but your future exit valuation. Plus, she explains why AI and automation are no longer optional if you want to scale, sell, or step back from your business without losing momentum.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your team is ghosting leads—and shrinking your exit multiple
• How buyers evaluate your sales process when deciding what your business is worth
• Critical statistics that prove speed-to-lead is everything
• How automation boosts your revenue and makes your business sellable
• Real examples of AI catching leads (and closing deals) at 2am while competitors sleep

If your goal is time freedom, location freedom, or a bigger check when you exit—you can’t afford to miss this.

You might have revenue. You might have buyers. But if your business depends on you—or one key employee—to function, it’s not sellable.

In this episode of Freedom to Exit, Lani Dickinson reveals the hidden risk that quietly kills more business deals than most owners realize: key man risk.

Buyers don’t just want profit—they want stability. And if they think your company would collapse without a single person? They’ll walk… or slash your offer.

• What key man risk is—and why it kills deals
• How to reduce dependency on yourself or one key employee
• The role of key person insurance and how to structure it
• How retention bonuses can keep top talent after a sale
• Steps you can take now to create long-term team and revenue stability

You can’t remove yourself from your business—or sell it—until it runs without you.

This episode gives you the roadmap to make that happen.
