Time Kills All Deals with George Wellmer

What happens when business brokers try to scale without real systems in place? And what can a broker learn from someone who sees behind the scenes of nearly a thousand firms across the country?

In this episode, you’ll learn why the most successful brokers aren’t the ones relying on memory, spreadsheets, or guesswork — but the ones who have clarity, structure, and automation built into every stage of their pipeline. You’ll also discover the hidden pitfalls that quietly kill deals, how time becomes a broker’s biggest enemy, and why “systems thinking” might be the missing link between inconsistent months and predictable growth.

Our guest today is George Wellmer, founder of Tupelo, a CRM + automation platform built specifically for business brokers. With firsthand experience working with nearly 1,000 brokers and an earlier career automating SBA valuations, George brings rare insight into what actually works — and what keeps brokers stuck. He shares the power of narrowing your target market, becoming an industry expert, leveraging automation for repetitive tasks, building a team around your highest-value activities, and preparing listings correctly so deals don’t collapse from delays. If you’re ready to stop hoping for deals and start engineering your pipeline with modern tools and proven systems, subscribe to the Business Broker Growth Show, leave a review, and share this episode with a broker who needs it.
