Women Rainmakers Roundtable

The Women Rainmakers Roundtable helps successful women lawyers like you become successful rainmakers. Since 1997, the Roundtable has helped over 350 women partners achieve their business development goals.

In these difficult economic times, growing your book of business is more important than ever. For almost 15 years, the Roundtable has been providing women partners with the skills, structure, support, and network needed to develop business.

The Roundtable is an 18-month, comprehensive coaching program that will help you build your book of business by:

• Focusing your business development efforts
• Honing your marketing skills
• Maintaining your marketing momentum
• Expanding your referral network
• Increasing your confidence as a business developer

Roundtable Results
In surveys of Roundtable members, virtually all respondents have said that their goals for participating in the Roundtable have been met. Even more impressive, 70% reported that their books of business had grown significantly as a result of their participation. Increases ranged from 10% to more than 300%, with an average increase of 100%. Roundtable members attribute these results to the program’s structure, practicality, content-rich sessions, and the encouragement of their fellow Roundtable members, who support them in the realization of their business development goals.

Program Description
As a member of the Roundtable, you will join a select group of women partners who are committed to growing their books of business. Over the course of 18 months, you will meet every six months for a two-day workshop. In the months in which there is not an in-person workshop, you will receive ongoing support for your business development efforts through monthly group telephone coaching sessions and e-mail contact.

The in-person workshops focus on four critical rainmaking skills:

• Pinpointing your best marketing strategies
• Selecting the most effective and efficient marketing activities for you
• Building referral relationships that result in business
• Effectively asking for business

The monthly telephone coaching sessions provide support and accountability and focus on key business development issues, including:

• Making time for business development
• Capitalizing on face-to-face marketing opportunities
• Preparing for networking events
• Systemizing your marketing

The telephone sessions are recorded, so if you cannot participate in the scheduled call, you can listen to it at a later time.

Should you need additional support at any time during your Roundtable membership, you are welcome to e-mail Sara directly.

As a member of the Roundtable, you will also expand your referral network. To support the referral aspect of the Roundtable, there is a private online referral database.

Logistical Details
The next Roundtable will meet in Chicago. For specific program dates and pricing, please contact Danielle Donaldson, Director of Operations.

Workshops start on Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m., include dinner on Thursday evening, and continue until noon on Friday. Although attendance at the first session is required, if you are unable to attend a subsequent session, you can send a woman partner from your firm as your althernate, or you can make up the missed session six months later in San Francisco.

To summarize, as a member of the Women Rainmakers Roundtable, you will participate in a proven program that has helped women partners like you build substantial books of business. You will join a select group of women partners. You will benefit from:

• Four 2-day workshops
