• Generating Trust; The Genius of of Selling Professional Services (Date?)
  More than five million accountants, lawyers, consultants, engineers and architects need to "sell" their professional services. The successful ones are hired because clients personally trust them to handle their work. Many 'professional time-sellers,' however, lack the interpersonal skills needed to 'sell' themselves, or their trustworthiness, to prospective clients. As a result they can't bring in new business, or 'make rain.' In the past not being a 'rainmaker' was acceptable and 'service partners' flourished, but today's economic environment demands that more professionals 'make rain.' As a result, more than three out of four professionals are in financial and/or career trouble.
  
  Generating Trust presents the most effective way to generate and sustain growth in any professional service practice, even in the face of stiff competition and tough market conditions. Sears has distilled the essence of generating client trust into a practical step-by-step program. In a fast-paced allegorical story, readers not only eavesdrop on four non-rainmaker-types as they learn about their rainmaking obstacles but cheer as the non-rainmakers learn to overcome these obstacles - the same ones that prevent many professionals from bringing in new engagements.
  
  Armed with this knowledge, readers move through a step-by-step program that allows them to understand their unique and personal rainmaking strengths and obstacles. Once understood, readers can leverage strengths and modify negative behaviors to grow books of business beyond expectations.
