Business Development Conversations for Services

To advance in their careers and become Rainmakers (those people at services companies that bring in the new clients and revenue), professionals such as accountants, lawyers, management consultants, and technology consultants eventually need to excel at business development.

Rarely, however, are these poor souls given a primer on rainmaking, especially when it comes to leading new business conversations and meetings. As a result, they often just ‘wing it’ and learn by doing, making many avoidable mistakes and losing opportunities to win new clients.

For many of these professionals, they simply don’t know where the conversation should start, where it should finish, and what should happen along the way. With this knowledge as a guide, business development conversations tend to go a lot better.

That’s where RAIN SellingSM comes in.

RAIN SellingSM Basics

RAIN SellingSM, developed specifically for professional service providers, stands for Rapport, Aspirations and Afflictions, Impact, and New Reality. The word ‘RAIN’, of course, is also a nod to the fact that this process is geared towards rainmakers—the traditional name for those people who bring the clients and the revenue into services firms.

R – Rapport: The ability to build rapport in sales conversations is an old concept, but it is more relevant and important today than ever.

Rapport sets the foundation of comfort for the rest of the conversation and for any future relationship. The word rapport also implies a real connection between people, not just a surface-level commonality.

Having a true connection to a potential client is so important in rainmaking because, all things being equal, buyers tend to buy from service providers that they like just as much as they buy from those who can meet their needs the best.

Yes, there should be a strong focus on creating and presenting a compelling value proposition, but rapport is an often overlooked factor that can tip the scale in favor of one service provider over another.

RainToday.com’s recent research report, How Clients Buy, found that:

26% of decision makers surveyed reported that the professional and I ‘had no personal chemistry’ 84% of these decision makers said they would be ‘somewhat’ or ‘much more likely’ to consider engaging the services of the professional if ‘personal chemistry’ existed between them and the professional

A – Aspirations and Afflictions: The ‘A’ in RAIN SellingSM stands for Aspirations and Afflictions. Many sales methodologies suggest that—to sell products and services as ‘solutions’ to needs—you must first uncover the ‘problems’ and/or ‘pain’ of the potential client. But uncovering problems and pain are only half the story.

When clients buy professional services, they are typically thinking as much about Aspirations (where they want to go) as they are about Afflictions (problems or pain). If you think about asking questions in the negative context, you will find yourself always positing “What’s not happening for you,” or the trite “What keeps you up at night?”

And you might get good answers. But if you also think of questions in the positive context, you will find yourself asking “Where do you want to go,” and “What are the possibilities?” By asking questions in a positive light, you will find that, instead of just negating problems or filling a need, you can paint a vision of a new reality for the client that takes them past problem solving and into new possibilities and innovation.

How Clients Buy facts:

40% of decision makers surveyed reported that the professional ‘did not understand my needs’ when selling to me 97% of these decision makers said they would be ‘somewhat’ or ‘much more likely’ to consider engaging the services of the professional if the professional did understand their needs

I – Impact: After you uncover the potential client’s aspirations and afflictions, the question then becomes, ‘so what?’ If your afflictions don’t get solved, what won’t happen? Will they get worse? How does it affect the bottom line of your company, division, or department?

If your aspirations don’t become reality, ‘so what?’ In a business-to-business scenario, these questions might sound like, ‘Will your competition get ahead of you if you don’t innovate? Will you lose market share if you aren’t aggressive in your strategy?’

The exact ‘so what’ questions will vary depending on the situation, but your ability to quantify and paint the ‘so what’ picture is the foundation for just how important engaging your services are to the prospective buyer.

This is of paramount importance to you, because when it comes to winning new business, your competition is often the indifference of your client, not another organization or service provider. So creating urgency for buying your services hinges on how well you help your client answer the ‘so what’ questions.

How Clients Buy facts:

32% of decision makers surveyed reported that the professional ‘did not convince me of the value I would receive from using his/her services’ when selling to me 98% of these decision makers said they would be ‘somewhat’ or ‘much more likely’ to consider engaging the services of the professional if the professional did a better job of communicating the value of their services

N – New Reality: One of the greatest difficulties in rainmaking is helping potential clients to understand exactly what they get when they work with you, and then communicating this benefit to other people involved in the buying decision. Thus, you have to paint a clear picture of a New Reality to help them understand, as tangibly as you can depict it, how their world will be different if they engage your services.

As much as possible, you should present this new reality in both qualitative (descriptive) terms as well as quantitative (financial or other numerically-based measurement) terms.

You then have to paint the picture of how your services will help your potential new client to achieve the new reality. Do this and you help them understand both where they’re going and how your services will help them get there.

How Clients Buy facts:

31% of decision makers surveyed reported that the professional ‘did not craft a compelling solution to my needs’ when selling to me 95% of these decision makers said they would be ‘somewhat’ or ‘much more likely’ to consider engaging the services of the professional if the professional did a better job of crafting a compelling solution

Applying RAIN

Like any good conceptual model, RAIN SellingSM goes a lot deeper than what can be described in a short article. For any new process to make a difference in your business development results, it takes training, practice, and coaching. The power of RAIN SellingSM is that you can apply it right away and have it make a difference. Good models, while having deep intrinsic meaning, are also easy to understand and apply.

Thus, the best way to get you started is to simply remember what the acronym RAIN stands for. Business development requires that you:

Connect with a potential client (Rapport) because professional service buyers often choose who they like the best Get a sense of where you can make a difference, either by solving their problems (Afflictions) or helping them innovate and grow (Aspirations) Help everyone involved in the buying process to understand the ‘so what’ (Impact) of moving forward Tangibilize how the world will be different by painting a picture of a better future, and show them how your services will help them get there (New Reality)

There are three main places to channel your law firm marketing and business development efforts: your current clients, your referral sources and prospects. While narrowing your focus is a crucial part of business development, the truth is that not everyone warrants the same amount of attention. With time limited, it’s important to recognize and measure your efforts by identifying who is helping your build your practice…and who is not. Here are my best tips for putting your time and money in the right place.

Look at your referral sources. All lawyers think they know who their best referral sources are. Take another look. A lawyer I recently coached came to me with a list of over 50 referral sources, but when we actually sat down and calculated the amount of work they had sent recently the number shrank to just 16. Take the time to look back and see who’s sending you business right now and place your focus on them. Don’t ignore the others, but concentrate on the ones who are making a difference today.

Focus on an industry. Look at your client list. The ones who give you the most business are most likely in the same industry. By concentrating on understanding industry nuances, you put yourself in a position to not only see where MORE work can come from within existing clients’ businesses, but to gain the ability to position yourself as an industry “expert.” This focus will help you better your relationships with existing clients, and it will provide fertile ground for prospecting and growth,

Rethink your commitments to organizations. The key word here? Participation. Take a look at the long list of memberships on your CV. Now cross off the ones you don’t actively participate in. If you’re not involved, it’s not business development. Being a name member only doesn’t bring you business—making connections and putting forth effort does. So either get involved or take it off your business development list.

Look at where you’re spending your networking time. Events are a great networking resource when it comes to business development, but they have to be the right ones. Look around at the next event you attend. How many of the people in the room are potential clients? Look at where your clients are spending their time and money and follow them. They will lead you to more clients.

Evaluate your Return on Investment. Are you getting a good ROI when it comes to your clients? Take a closer look at where and how you’re spending your time and you may be surprised. Who’s bringing you business on a consistent basis and who’s not? Who’s referring others over to you? All clients deserve great service, but cultivating relationships with those who don’t bring in work can be a waste of business development efforts. Reevaluate where you’re placing your focus and turn your efforts towards clients who are helping grow your practice.

NOTE: Though it’s important to concentrate on strategies and clients that bring in business, timing is just as important. Don’t judge too quickly. All initiatives should be given at least a year before being evaluated.

business ethics


Ethics is one of the oldest disciplines, the object of study of which is morality. The term «ethics» was introduced by Aristotle, who thoughtfully remarked that ethics «helps to know what to do and what should be avoided». 

Modern ethics is first and foremost, the science that allows to consider human relationships, as well as to evaluate the behavior of people in terms of generally accepted norms. There are professional ethics, which includes a system of moral norms of human behavior, belonging to a particular social group. An entrepreneur should not only know the ethical behavior standards, but also to follow them. 

There are so-called professional ethics, and in particular – business ethics, which includes standards of entrepreneur behavior. Entrepreneurial activity is impossible without the numerous contacts with people; it is not designed to work alone.

What is the difference between business etiquette and business ethics? Business ethics is primarily a negotiation with partners; ethics recordkeeping; use ethical methods of competition. Business ethics considered to be the same for businessmen from different countries. Business etiquette – are certain rules governing the work style, manner of communication between firms, the appearance of businessmen, sequence and manner of negotiating and so on. Business etiquette is formed under the influence of certain traditions and the prevailing historical conditions of the country. Therefore, those entrepreneurs who cooperate with foreign partners, is very useful to have a national business etiquette cooperating party prior to the joint activity.

The issues of business social responsibility, ethics, and environmental protection are on the agenda of modern companies. Social responsibility of business ethics and environmental protection are equally important and urgent tasks of modern business than the financial performance of the organization or the pay of top managers, because the issues of corporate responsibility are able to provide the same impact on business reputation and business value, as well as standard indicators of economic growth.

“Social responsibility is a voluntary effort on the part of business to take various steps to satisfy the expectation of different interest group… the interest group may be owners, investors, employees, consumers, government, society or community. ” (nos.org, 05.21.2009)

In our days environmental protection, for some business industries as automotive industry, drives to new technology and innovation. And this is true even for General Motors Company. “As an automotive manufacturer, environmental responsibility is a key issue for GM. It is playing an active role in the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicles that emit only clean water and offer twice the energy efficiency of traditional engines.”  (Alex Blyth, 11.05.2003)

Without being perceived as a sign of economic strength, social responsibility has today the form of corporate civic – a way to create stable and profitable business relationship for all parties, a non-aggressive way, less harmful to work around the community, a friendly way of communication with society. In this form, social responsibility is nothing but a modern and open way of flexible management. Practices and social responsibility programs are more accessible and more interesting for small business enterprises.

Questions emanate as to the ethical considerations of the professional’s liability and how power and dominance should be utilized in service to the society and customer. Most professions have internally implemented principles of practice that associates of the profession must abide by, to forbid exploitation of the customer and uphold the wholeness of the profession. This is not only to the advantage of the client but to the advantage of those belonging to the profession. For instance, an American business may ask an engineer to manifest the safety of a project which is not safe. While one engineer may deny manifesting in the project on moral basis, the business may find a less painstaking engineer who will be ready to manifest in the project for a payoff, thus saving the business the cost of restyling. Disciplinary principles permit the profession to formulate a standard of behavior and assure that one meets this standard, by checking them from the professional body if they do not practice consequently. This permits those professionals who act with moral sense to practice in the cognition that they will not be counteracted commercially. by those who have less ethical qualms. It also maintains the public’s trust in the profession, meaning that the public will continue to seek their services.

One can show integrity in every step of professional life, and that comprises the truthfulness of statements in one’s curriculum vitae. It is common cognition that many people amplify their skills or experience when searching for jobs. They may over-accentuate their role in projects, their participation in certain industries or areas, or their acquaintance with various Information Technology packages. The interviewers can easily catch this foolishness, and thus one will have to face failure at the very beginning by not getting selected for the particular job. Potency-based interviewing is grounded on the premise that past performance is a good revealer of possible future performance. It uses elaborate questions about what one has done to inculcate one’s your past behaviors. Thus, starting with one’s resume, one can demonstrate his/her ethical values in the professional arena. In the professional arena, a person should not adopt unethical methods, such as accepting bribes, trying to hurt the sentiments of associates or not showing respect to the sub-ordinates.

Everyone has an ethical ambit. As a professional, one needs to make sure that one has a firm cornerstone. If one can meet the moral standards as expected of him/her, one is potent to encourage and urge on others and attain career honors and rewards.
