LeadPoint, “6 Months”?

Last week Good Morning America produced a piece on the subject of working on the weekends. The piece highlights Marc Diana, CEO of LeadPoint and his family.

HERE IT IS

The interesting part of the video is at the 2:10 minute mark. Marc tells is wife that “sooner than later he will be able to spend more time” with her and their son. Marc then looks at the interviewer with raised eyebrows and says “6 months away”. That statement obviously raises a few questions. What, 6 months away is going to allow him to spend more time with his wife and new son? Vacation, Holiday break, an expiration of an employment contract or a LeadPoint liquidation?

LeadPoint has always had an exit plan that included a possible acquisition, could this now be in the works?

Maybe we will find out in 6 months.

LeadPoint,
I would but there is no response to the post. To view the video people need to go directly to the source rather than redirecting them from post to post.
Tell us what we can expect in 6 months and I will.
Thanks

Hopefully, they are not managing to an exit. In my experience that has been a guaranteed devaluation strategy. You have to run a sustainable, ongoing concern to maximize value.

I think it would also be ashame to lose an innovative concept so early. I think an acquisition would smother the lead exchange concept.

We shall see I suppose.

Maybe it’s just a Valentine’s Day trip. 6 months from now is roughly that time. Go Marc! Your family deserves a nice long trip.
