Joe Oddo

Managing Director

South Carolina / Georgia

Joe enjoyed a 40-year dual career in sales management and political campaign management. He made himself a student of both crafts, exercising leadership and creativity to advance causes of both for-profit and non-profit entities.

Joe was able to help launch projects that changed industries starting with being the founding Internet Sales Manager for a high-volume retail auto dealer in Northern Virginia. Growing into a six-person team in three years, his team increased sales to over 20% of company total, and consistently generated a higher percentage of store’s gross profits.

FordDirect.com recognized Joe’s team for achieving the number one lead-closing ratio in the eastern region (out of 1,200 dealers). He was recruited by Ford Motor Company to participate in a 10-member lead management council at Microsoft headquarters in Redman, WA, to evaluate and recommend changes for Ford’s corporate-wide lead management marketing software.

Later, Joe started a freelance consulting/writing business which provided clients with marketing material, business and campaign plans, training materials, speeches, media releases, book reviews, public policy essays, and even ghost-written full-length non-fiction manuscripts. Still having the political itch after majoring in Public Policy, Joe co-founded an independent political party in Virginia and ran for public office numerous times, which included making the ballot for US Congress in three successive election cycles.

Most recently a sales trainer and life coach, Joe welcomes the opportunity to be a transaction intermediary for sellers looking to maximize their benefits from exiting their business ownership.

He and his wife Deanna relocated to the Charleston, SC, area in 2020, where the only thing missing are the hills to present more challenging bicycle rides.

Testimonials

“I recently contacted A. Neumann and Associates about getting a valuation of my business done. I spoke with Achim, who explained the process in detail. He had his colleague Gary come to my office in order to get a clear understanding of my business, and what I was hoping to accomplish. His patience in answering all my questions and his knowledge of the proper way to market my business gave me great confidence that this is the firm I will be using when the time comes for me to sell my business for max value. They gave me great insight into the steps I need to take now to get the best deal in the future. I highly recommend this firm to anybody who wants to sell now or down the road. They not only know their stuff, their actually just real nice guys.”

Client Testimonials

“I'm an attorney. I have represented the buyers and sellers of businesses for 20+ years. Recently I had the pleasure of handling a transaction where Richard Wilder of A. Neumann & Associates was the broker for the seller. Mr. Wilder was of great service to his client. He is very knowledgeable and organized. Thanks to his guidance the transaction proceeded smoothly and closed on time. He is highly recommended.”

Nick Ferrante

“Richard, you came to my office a few years ago and were wonderful in explaining your process and procedures. Our company is probably an anomaly in that we sold the majority to two long time employees and I financed them both. Our company is entering its 45th year and is still thriving. The purpose of the note is to thank you very much for the service that you provide. Thank you again.”

John Foug, Seller

“We had a great experience working with Richard Wilder from Neumann and Associates as the sell-side broker for Blade Runners. He was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly had his client’s best interests at heart. Richard helped keep the process smooth for everyone, and thanks in part to his efforts, we found a fantastic owner to partner with. We'd gladly work with Richard and the Neumann and Associates team again.”

Justin Martin

“Very happy with Richard and the entire process. I was on the buyer side of the transaction.”

Isaac Palmer, Jr.

“If you are looking for a professional and informative company that meets your needs, A Neumann & Associates is the company to go with. Ted Kantor went above and beyond to make our experience as easy as possible. Ted was helpful from the start of our process to the end. He was there every step of the way to guide us and answer all of our questions. He handled all of the in-depth communication and followed up on every detail. We strongly recommend Ted Kantor to help you whether you're buying or selling. It was a great experience. We never imagined it would go as smooth as it did. The Laluna's (Andy, Maria & Tony Jr)”

Maria Laluna

“A Pleasure to work with - I highly recommend them! Working with Richard Wilder was a pleasure, and he found us the perfect match.”

Laura Keith-Macario

“This spring we acquired a business that was represented by Richard Wilder at A Neumann & Associates. Small business acquisitions can be very emotional for the sellers and life-changing for the buyers, and Richard was keenly aware of this throughout the process. Although he was working for the sellers and not for us, he knew that most business owners see their business as their baby so the only way to have a happy outcome for his clients was to also have a happy outcome for the buyers. Knowing how nerve-wracking this process can be (think home buying x 10), he never dropped the ball on keeping everyone updated, anticipating potential snags, and guiding us along in the process. We highly recommend Richard.”

Shannon, Buyer

“My business was my baby for over 40 years. It is a tough and cruel world out there when it comes to selling your business. Neuman and Associates provided the professional guidance/protection to get the job done with care and no pressure. In my view a tremendous value. I would recommend them to anyone seeking to sell their business. Eric Storck, president of Blade Runners Inc.”

Eric Storck, President - Blade Runners Inc.

“I’m really impressed with how your firm operates. The focus on confidentiality, the thorough vetting process, and the use of third-party accredited valuations really stand out. It’s easy to see why you’ve built such a strong reputation over the years.”

Ann M., Investor

“Thanks for sending over such a detailed CIM.  While I have only reviewed a have dozen CIMs at this point, your company has put together the most comprehensive data and detailed presentation I have seen so far.”
