Gerald Maatman: Flipping the Switch to Become a Good Business Developer
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Gerald Maatman discuss: Investing in yourself for better business development. The Darwinism of business development. Finding your passion and purpose. Utilizing your skillsets appropriately in marketing. Key Takeaways: In business development, sweat equity pays dividends. You want to get ahead of the problem and deliver value to the clients who end up with that problem. Do a great job on project number one, and project number two will follow. Be able to articulate in a quick sentence who you are and what value proposition you bring. Skill and success are valued by clients. Use the success you’ve had and market that to other purchasers of legal services, not by bragging, but by example. "The very most important thing that I would share with a younger lawyer is you need to flip the switch on your mindset. To be a good business developer, you need to be resilient. You need to be optimistic." — Gerald Maatman Thank you to our Sponsors!
