Business Development for Leaders

Lawyers with whom I speak are often uncomfortable in rainmaking, especially in moving from a general conversation to one in which the lawyer might ask for a potential client's business. No one wants to appear pushy or desperate, and most lawyers have a natural aversion to selling themselves. A lawyer who's always self-promoting and trying to get business is not appealing. Nobody wants to talk with that kind of lawyer, and most of us don't want to be him or her.
