Rainmaker Resource List
In the course of developing the content that I have shared in The Reluctant Rainmaker, I have investigated numerous solutions to common rainmaking needs. One of the most difficult tasks for many lawyers is to identify reliable and reasonably priced resources for helping with rainmaking activities, such as bloggings, newsletter distribution, and so on. I have spent a great deal of time identifying resources that may be useful for you as you embark upon your business development path. I wish I had had access to such a list several years ago as I was asking the questions you are asking now, and I’m delighted to offer this list for your use.
I have used many of these resources myself, and I’ve added other names based on recommendations received from clients and from other sources. Please note, however, that you are responsible for conducting due diligence on every resource and that neither I nor Life at the Bar LLC can make any representations, warranties, or guarantees about any of the listed resources or their usefulness for your specific situation. You are solely responsible for the resources you choose to use.
Please be sure to check back often. I will continue to update this list as I find new resources.
