Rainmakers
If you know that relationships are the key to success, then you could be a Rainmaker.
Why are "rainmakers" successful? They build their business based on who they know. They build on their relationships, and separate themselves from the masses by not acting like one of the masses. Successful business leaders recognize that the only true differentiator today is the relationship you have with your client. Relationships supersede transactions and differentiate us on an individual basis.
A Rainmaker group represents the best -- the best in building relationships, the best in collaboration, and the best in producing results. Rainmakers are the Top 20% working with the Top 20%, helping each other grow their base of relationships and opportunities.
Who Should Participate? Participants are senior level professionals responsible for growing revenue. They should be relationship oriented and in a business-to-business environment.
What Can You Expect?
- Improve your relationship building skills by learning and applying our proprietary Rainmaker System, a program combining elements from Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone, Marketing / Solution Selling skills from Ken Cook / Peer to Peer Advisors and Communication / Collaboration skills from Synectics, Inc.
- Become acutely goal-focused, concentrating on the markets and relationship opportunities that can deliver maximum results
- Collaborate with 10-12 peers who will become your Inner Circle of "go-to" individuals for input, feedback, connections and warm referrals and introductions.
How Does It Work? The Rainmaker System is the foundation of a Rainmaker Group. Delivery is a combination of two workshops on the system and nine monthly meetings where the group members literally function as Connectors and a Board of Advisors for each other. There are no competitors in the same group. Confidentiality is paramount; each participant is bound by a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The program and meeting elements are:
- Skills Development -- Two one-half day workshops over a two month period on the Rainmaker System and 30 minute refreshers in each of the nine meetings
- Relationship Development -- 90 minutes per meeting focused on connections, strategies, and tactics in order to help all members expand their respective web of relationships and volume of warm referrals.
Be Part of the Elite -- the business elire that is in the top 20% in their own industry, building relationships with the top 20% from other walks of life.
