Podcast appearances and mentions of anna rappaport

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Anna Rappaport, business development strategist and legal industry expert, about how lawyers and professionals can create a sustainable rainmaking strategy. Anna emphasizes that business development isn't about quick wins—it's about building long-term habits that generate consistent client opportunities. She explains that many professionals struggle with rainmaking because they approach it as a task rather than an ongoing practice. By shifting to a strategic, relationship-focused mindset, professionals can create a steady pipeline of new business while avoiding burnout. Key topics include how to develop a repeatable business development routine, the importance of balancing proactive outreach with deepening existing client relationships, and why focusing on ideal clients leads to better long-term results. Anna also shares insights on how to track business development progress, the role of thought leadership in building credibility, and why professionals should prioritize meaningful conversations over high-volume networking. Additionally, she discusses how firms can support attorneys in their rainmaking efforts by fostering a culture of business development. This episode provides practical, actionable strategies for professionals looking to develop a long-term, sustainable approach to rainmaking. ---------------------------------------- This show is sponsored by Leopard Solutions Legal Intelligence Suite of products, Firmscape, and Leopard BI.
