Pre-Order Mark's New Book (due in June, 2009) Relationships Are Everything! - Growing Your Business One Relationship at a Time Click here to order your copy of Relationships Are Everything! today! Relationships Are Everything! is an indispensable companion to my first book, Rainmaking Made Simple, which provides a framework for the busy professional who wants less theory and more of a desk reference for the skills needed to build a book of business. Similarly, each chapter in Relationships Are Everything! is deliberately short, providing a checklist for common situations you'll face every day: meeting with a friend (networking at deeper levels), meeting with a partner or co-worker, releasing negative emotions, delegating dull or routine work, speaking at your firm, and developing the next generation of rainmakers. Furthermore, chapters in the skills section of the book provide an easy-to-follow structure for applying each skill that you can put to work immediately. Everything in this book comes straight out of the thousands of coaching meetings and phone calls I've had with professionals all over the world, conversations that have given me insight into what works and what doesn't. And the structure still allows plenty of room for spontaneity and customization. Many professionals believe they must act in unseemly or uncomfortable ways to become rainmakers. I vigorously disagree. You can absolutely remain true to yourself and still be great at selling and marketing. In fact, the truer you remain to yourself, the more effective you'll be as a rainmaker. As I frequently remind my clients, become a better friend and you'll become a better rainmaker. I'll never encourage you to do what's far outside your comfort zone. Instead, I want you to look at everything you do - or fail to do - as something that either strengthens or weakens relationships. I hope you will consult Relationships Are Everything! and Rainmaking Made Simple frequently throughout your day to strengthen your relationships and build your practice. May the pages become worn and dog-eared from frequent use! Click here to order your copy of Relationships Are Everything! today! Mark M.
