RAINMAKER SALES TRAINING
Sales are the lifeblood of every profitable business and you need at least one rainmaker keep that blood pumping.
In legal parlance, a “rainmaker” is an attorney at a law firm–usually a partner–who specializes at bringing in new clients.
​
Of course, there are rainmakers in every industry, including accounting, banking, medical practices and even dentistry.
​
One could argue that every employee at your company has the ability to bring in new business, right?
​
You’re probably on the lookout for the next round of rainmakers in your business.
​
If so, Michael Angelo Caruso’s Rainmaker Training can make this happen for you quite quickly.
​
Part sales training boot camp, part networking immersion, and part charm school, this program gets results!
Quality sales training is vital to your business
This Rainmaker Training program is a wise investment in your company’s short-term and long-term success.
​
Michael will work with your sales team to get their numbers where they need to be.
​
Many clients see results within as few as 90 days.
​
Your sessions will be a customized combination of high-powered phone calls, Skype video sessions, and group training events at your business or a nearby location.
​
Watch the video below as Michael discusses “Rainmaking for Accountants.”
​
You can also engage Mr. Caruso for “Rainmaking for Attorneys” and “Rainmaking for Insurance Agents.” The strategies for bringing in new business may vary a bit from industry to industry, but selling principles remain basically the same.
Why Rainmaker training works so well
This program delivers in three critical and interdependent areas.
​
Michael refers to them as “The 3 Cs.” They are: Content, Communication, and Context.
