Michael CummingsLearn how to make solid business development progress through the relationships you build: grow your contact base the professional way, engage contacts deftly and uncover mutually beneficial opportunities, plus gain introductions to valuable new contacts. Marketing experts Michael G. Cummings and I host this LIVE presentation.

Transitioning contacts into business assets is especially difficult for attorneys. They don’t want to come off as desperate or unprofessional. They don’t know how to qualify a contact for business potential. Often they avoid business discussions because they don’t want to jeopardize the current form of the relationship. Or they assume having lunch or being friendly will somehow magically produce work.

By contrast, rainmakers know how to confidently mix business with their social, personal, organizational contacts; while maintaining their professional demeanor and personal dignity. In this seminar, you will find out what they know and what they do.

Join network-building experts Michael G. Cummings and me of Apollo Business Development. We have trained and coached hundreds of attorneys at dozens of firms. These lawyers have leveraged their networks to land new clients, get introductions to potential clients and establish a professional reputation that keeps their caseload steady — and growing. In one instance, they helped a litigator at a trial boutique increase her originations from $200,000 per year to $2.5 million in one year! She simply followed the advice that is fully covered in this seminar. For more information about the speakers, see below.

• Asking your current contacts for introductions to other people of value
• Cultivating and maintaining an ongoing value added business relationship
