I am meeting with a potential seller for the first time face to face. Any tips? for context, no deep previous conversations so far.

you got this! Dont bring your laptop or digital notes - just a notebook is great. Have a few key topics and let the rest be natural to get to know as much as possible while also selling yourself as the right pair of hands.

Just get to know them, their story with the business, and what they want to do afterwards. Treat it like many meet and greet meetings.
