New publication helps lawyers develop the skills needed for business development

LONDON - Feb. 6, 2023 - PRLog -- Rainmakers: Born or Bred uses the results of the widely acclaimed Rainmaker Study to change the way lawyers think about business development. In doing so, it dispels the myth that the ability to develop business is based on where one went to school or on one's gender, and instead urges practitioners to focus on developing the personal characteristics displayed by successful rainmakers.  These are the attorneys who know how to truly engage with clients, how to understand their business needs and challenges, and how to make the client's lives easier. It is this combination of skills that attracts and builds sustainable, rewarding client relationships.

This second edition of Rainmakers: Born or Bred – authored by Patricia K. Gillette with contributions from Rebecca Harding – arms you with practical ideas to implement as you set out on your journey to improve your business development skills. Fully updated to address the promises and challenges of remote working, with an in-depth focus on digital and social media, this book is packed with opinions and advice from actual clients and rainmakers alike. It will help you make the most of the business development opportunities that present themselves every day – while staying true to yourself.
