Xcllusive Business Sales

Selling your business isn’t just a transaction - it’s one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions you’ll ever make.

And the tough part?

Finding the right buyer, getting fair value, and navigating the process without wasting time on tyre-kickers or drowning in red tape.

That’s where we come in.

At XCLLUSIVE Business Sales, we work with business owners who are thinking about selling - but aren’t sure where to start.

Whether you’re ready to sell now or just planning ahead, we help you:

• Understand your business’s true market value
• Attract serious, qualified buyers
• Navigate the sales process with expert support
• Get personalised assistance from our broker team to maximise your return with minimum stress

If you’re exploring your options and want real clarity - not pressure - let’s talk.

Attention: 

We only work with serious business owners who are ready to sell now. 

Over the past 20 years we’ve organically attracted and built a database of over 100,000 buyers - plus private equity, investors and family offices. 

To protect those relationships (and your time), we carefully assess each business / opportunity.

So if your business is profitable and you’re serious about selling, we’d love to hear from you. 

If you’re not ready to sell but would like a proper business valuation to determine what your business could be worth in the marketplace, we have a valuation team who can help with that, too. 

DM me the word “EXIT” or email me at edison@xcllusive.com.au, and we’ll have a friendly chat to see how we could assist.

ReachLocal Australia & New Zealand

During my time at ReachLocal Australia and New Zealand (which later rebranded to LocaliQ), I helped small to medium businesses find a solution to some of their biggest problems: 

- Not enough visibility online.
- Not enough lead flow.
- Not enough clients.

I did whatever I could to get in front of business owners, booked my own appointments, and scheduled meetings both in person and over video calls. My approach was a mix of...

- DM.
- SMS.
- Cold call.
- Cold email.
- Door knocking.

As a team, we helped our clients achieve their business goals using time-proven solutions tailored specifically to their needs, which is usually a combination of:

- Social Media Ads
- Google Ads
- LiveChat
- Website
- SEO

Even though it was my first time being employed as a Digital Marketing Consultant - I managed to WIN in more ways than one:

- Grew and managed a book of clients from $0 to $50,000/month MRR ($600,000/year ARR) in my first 12 months.
- Met and developed a good relationship with business owners from various industries.
- Learned how to create proposals for each new business owner I met with.
- Learned how to use Salesforce CRM and other tools of the trade.

It was not an easy job but I enjoyed it. Most of the staff were great to deal with and I got along nicely with many of them.

Having spent over 20+ years in sales and marketing, working here has added new tools to my tool kit which I’m now able to use to help others succeed online.

Overall, I had a great time working at ReachLocal and I managed to remain good friends with a few of my ex-colleagues, which I’m always grateful for.

I remain hopeful that our paths will cross again. 

Who knows… maybe next time, I will be the one helping them with other solutions to enhance their capabilities. 

My heartfelt gratitude goes to the entire ReachLocal (LocaliQ) team in Australia and New Zealand. Wishing you all ongoing success in the years ahead. Thank you, Team!

Digital Marketing Consultant

Reliable Online Advertising Service

In 2018… I decided to learn how to sell products online.

Ended up with 2 x Shopify stores and a 3rd store which I used for product testing.

I learned how to build a Shopify store and source products from overseas. 

I sold them for a profit to customers from Tier 1 countries... such as the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.

I learned how to run some basic Facebook Ads.

Unfortunately, I ran out of money before I could even get close to scaling the business.

In 2020… I decided to jump head-on into becoming a Solopreneur (digital marketing - animated explainer videos).

Along the way, I made bad financial decisions that forced me to stop operating.

In 2021, I had my own battle against depression and won.  Here's hoping I will never, ever experience that again.  It was the darkest moment of my life.

In 2022… I forced myself to get back into the workforce as I’ve got a family to support and needed cash flow to help pay the bills.
 
If you’re expecting to read a big hero’s journey that ends with a victory party full of Lambos and Rolex watches... then I’m sorry to disappoint but you won’t find it here.

The biggest lesson that I learned from this experience is that…

LIFE is a series of Decisions and Lessons. 🤔

I made DECISIONS… some good, some bad.

I made plenty of MISTAKES…

And with every decision…

…. with every mistake…

I learned something new.

We Live And Learn.

Founder | Business Development Manager

Green Pasture Meat Co.

Not long after I decided to leave Sanda Fine Foods (which I co-founded), I received an offer to work with the Founder and CEO of Green Pasture Meats - who also happened to be one of our suppliers in our food service business.

He needed someone to be an "all-rounder" and he's known me for years, so when he found out I was looking for a change... he kindly offered me a position to work with him directly.

Over the years I helped his business in a variety of ways:

- Helped the Sales Team with sales calls and inquiries/quotes.
- Assisted in the day-to-day administrative tasks (invoicing, banking, etc.)
- Helped the Warehouse Team with receiving stock and processing/dispatching orders.
- Helped support and troubleshoot computer issues and MS Office software problems when needed.
- Led the implementation of a brand-new stock control system (bar code scanner system).  Prior to this system being installed, everything was checked and recorded manually. 
- Built the company website.
- Set up their social media.
- I even cooked the team breakfast and lunch on several occasions - just for fun.

SANDA Fine Foods

SANDA Fine Foods was a food service business that I co-founded back in 2010.

We served fresh meats and small goods to Cafes, Pubs and Restaurants all over Sydney - including high quality Wagyu meat. 

This experience taught me how to find suppliers, source products to buy and sell... and find customers to sell them to.

I did everything I could to get clients: cold calls, cold emails and literally door-knocked businesses... yes, I walked the streets and went door-to-door to introduce our business to potential clients. 

Got our business cards printed, company-branded T-shirts and Caps... then setup meetings to speak with Chefs and Business owners.

I dealt with a ton of rejections on a daily basis... which made every WIN even sweeter.

We maintained a friendly relationship with our clients through regular visits and conversations.

We kept our overheads low, became profitable in 12 months and operated successfully for several years. 

Even managed to buy my 2nd convertible and do some travelling with my family. Fun times!

This is one of the most brutally honest About pages you’ll ever come across on LinkedIn:

At 16, I landed in Sydney with my parents and three younger sisters. Six of us. A few boxes. A couple of suitcases. Nothing more.

No safety net. No network. No wealthy relatives. Just grit, hustle, and a powerful reason to start over.

That immigrant mindset shaped everything I do… carrying me from survival mode to sitting across the table with founders and CEOs running 7, 8, and even 9-figure businesses.

If you told the poor 10-year-old version of me back in Manila that this would one day be my life, he would’ve laughed in disbelief. Back then, survival was the only goal.

How did I get here?

My down-to-earth, outgoing personality naturally pulled me into sales.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve sold nearly everything you can think of - travel packages, mobile phones, real estate, food products, health & personal care products, digital marketing services, brand-new cars, and cinema advertising.

I’ve knocked on restaurants, pubs, and café doors in Sydney’s summer heat. Cold-called strangers who didn’t want to listen. Built a profitable food service business from scratch in one of the most competitive food markets in the country.

I didn’t learn sales from a textbook. I learned it in the trenches.

I believe in keeping it real, not just highlight reels. That’s because I know what it’s like to try and fail… and I’ve failed plenty of times. I can tell you those failures taught me more than the wins ever did.

So, why am I here on LinkedIn?

Life moves on - things change - people change. Today, I work with an incredible team of business brokers and marketers. We help business owners sell or exit their companies with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

Yes, I’m here to grow my network, be seen and heard, and inspire ambitious underdogs who refuse to quit, even when the odds are stacked against them.

Yes, I’m building a life I don’t need a vacation from, and I want to help others do the same.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me cooking for my family, enjoying movie nights at home, traveling, discovering world-class cuisines, tasting delicious street foods, and capturing moments through photos and videos with my loved ones. I’ve visited 17 countries so far, with plenty more to explore.

What you see is what you get when you’re dealing with me. If this resonates with you, hit Follow and send me a Connection request.

NOTE: If you’re a scammer, don’t bother me - I’ve got nothing for you. If you're real, ambitious, and not afraid to lose, we'll get along just fine.
