How to Win New Business
If you want to make partner you need to show you can win business. It is often the lack of a client following that stops so many talented professionals from making the step up to partner. One of the biggest barriers, I hear potential partners say, is actually finding and making the time to grow their client portfolio.
Networking is often seen as the silver bullet to generating new clients – get it right, and you will have new clients falling over you (or so the thinking goes).
