Some readers have noticed the precipitous drop in posts that began early this year. Perhaps you imagined that I was busy with clients (true!), that I’d lost interest in the blog (not true!), or that I’d run off for a Tahitian vacation (also not true — alas!). In mid-February, the stars became perfectly aligned and I decided to write the book that’s been rolling around in my head for quite some time. And less than four months later, The Reluctant Rainmaker: A Guide for Lawyers Who Hate Selling was born.Â
If you’ve ever recoiled at the idea of business development . . .
Â
If you fear that you’ll come across as pushy or desperate in rainmaking . . .
Â
If you’ve ever wished that you could just focus on practicing law, and not have to worry about getting clients . . .Â
Â
If you’ve ever put off rainmaking activity even though you know you need to do it . . .Â
Â
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m a good lawyer, my clients like me, and I get good results for them, so why do IÂ have to struggle so much to bring in new business?” . . .
Â
Pull out your umbrella and read the book that I wrote just for you! Â
Â
Here’s what one lawyer has said about The Reluctant Rainmaker: A Guide for Lawyers Who Hate Selling:
“Fleming has written a definitive guide for lawyers who understand the importance of rainmaking but would prefer to focus their time on performing legal work. Indeed, I think the book goes to the ‘reluctant rainmaker’ that is in all of us to some degree. The Reluctant Rainmaker illuminates the connection between practicing law and growing a book of business. With easy-to-apply recommendations for how to get the most benefit from business building activity, Fleming has offered a guide that every lawyer will be able to use with confidence.”
