Deal Brokering Commission

A strategy to make a million dollars in a year by brokering deals for high-value transactions, targeting people who are already doing big deals and offering to help them on a commission-only basis.

Key Points:

• Target people doing big deals:

  • Real estate developers
  • Private equity professionals
  • Business owners looking to sell
  • Focus on $10-30 million transactions

  • No upfront payment required
  • Only get paid if a deal successfully closes

• Implementation approach:

  • Research successful people in your area (e.g., real estate developers)
  • Meet with them to understand their "buy box" (what deals they're looking for)
  • Position yourself as someone willing to learn while bringing them value
  • Scout for opportunities that match their criteria
  • Prepare deal memos and analyses

• Expected outcomes:

  • 10-20% chance of making a million dollars within a year
  • Nearly 100% chance of building a valuable network
  • Learn how successful people think and evaluate deals
  • Develop skills in research, sales, deal analysis, and structured thinking
  • Potential to find mentors who will take you under their wing

• Potential earnings:

  • Commission could range from $250,000 to $1 million on successful deals
