In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jim Ries discuss:Why business development is a critical yet often overlooked skill for lawyersThe role of networking in long-term professional successHow adopting a giver's mentality leads to stronger professional relationshipsBest practices and common mistakes in networking and relationship-building Key Takeaways:Taking a few minutes to research a common connection before meetings and using the "FORD Method" (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) leads to more engaging and productive networking conversations.Effective networking is about quality over quantity, so instead of collecting business cards, aim for three meaningful conversations that lead to valuable follow-ups.Trust is built through consistent action, so always follow through on promises like introductions or shared resources to strengthen credibility and relationships.Business development requires patience and persistence, as long-term success comes from continuously nurturing relationships and staying top-of-mind for future opportunities. "The phrase I like to use is not "give to get"—that sounds like expecting something in return. The phrase I use is "give to give"—give because you want to… because it feels good… and just keep giving. That's when people know you, like you, and trust you." — Jim Ries Got a challenge growing your law practice?
