What you’ll learn about in this episode:
- How Jeff started his career working for a big law firm, and how he realized the importance of learning business development once he struck out on his own after a decade
- How Jeff learned that becoming a “rainmaker” was more about relationship-building through consistent and reliable behavior
- Why it is impossible to have a team of all rainmakers but it is crucial to have a “rainmaker mindset” that empowers everyone to collectively succeed
- Why teaching your team members business development skills isn’t necessarily the best use of your time as a business leader, and why creating the mindset is more effective
- How Jeff learned that a service mindset was powerful for learning business development, and how he builds a “toolbox” by cultivating relationships within his network
- Why stories serve as powerful connective tissue that builds relationships, and why it is important to tell your story in business development
- Why business development needs a rhythm that can create ongoing momentum to avoid the “peaks and valleys”
- Why there is always a “next action” that needs to be followed up on beyond just reaching out to someone
- Why it is important to avoid being lazy and giving people “homework”, and why you should never have others own the follow up action but should instead follow up yourself
- Jeff shares tips and strategies for building stronger relationships and learning business development skills
