For all introverts out there, how do you develop business?
5
So I found a new job and tomorrow I am going to put in my two weeks’ notice. I am nervous how everyone will react because I have given no clues that I was looking. My boss always asks me if I am happy with where I am at and I lie and say yes so I am nervous this will come out of left field. I do have anxiety and the thought of letting others down only increases my anxiety. Any advice on how to calm my nerves before tomorrow?
Mostly by meeting people in a position to send me business. I have to pay attention to my energy reserves to do it well.
Develop expertise, and write a lot about it. If it’s good enough, people come to you.
This is the way.
Do great work and get referred to new clients.
D, all of the above. Also I am several partners’ go-to for cross-referrals. Pay it forward to get paid back.
All the above. Also find opportunities for one-on-one or small group coffees/lunches/happy hours. I do much better in a small group setting where I can engage in a good conversation than bigger firm sponsored events. Those are overwhelming. It helps to read industry publications/listen to podcasts so you have something to talk about. My approach is to ask questions so I don’t have to talk as much
I do T&E lit and my best referral sources are conflict adverse probate admin lawyers.
Well at least that’s not niche.
