What if your biggest deal could fall apart at the very last moment? And are you building a pipeline that can survive when it does?

Most brokers focus on getting deals done, but fewer think about what happens when they don’t. The reality is, larger deals come with more complexity, more stakeholders, and more unseen risks. Behind every “almost closed” transaction are layers of approvals, hidden decision-makers, and timing issues that can quietly derail everything. The lesson? It’s not just about chasing big wins; it’s about building consistency, managing risk, and creating a system that keeps your business moving forward no matter what.

In this episode of the Business Broker Growth Show, Jason Cutter sits down with Matt Friscia of Transworld Business Advisors to unpack a deal that collapsed less than 24 hours before closing. They break down the real reasons deals fall apart, the hidden layers of due diligence, and why having multiple deals in motion is critical. Matt also shares key insights on specialization, buyer behavior, and how brokers can position themselves to succeed in an evolving market.

If you want to build a stronger pipeline and close more deals consistently, make sure to watch until the end—and don’t forget to check out Part 1 for even more insights.
