In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Matt Dixon—bestselling author of The Challenger Sale and The Jolt Effect—about his latest research and book, The Activator Advantage: What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently. Based on data from the Rainmaker Genome Project, Matt introduces five rainmaker profiles, highlighting the “Activator” as the most effective. Activators stand out by committing consistently to business development, building broad and deep networks, and proactively delivering value to clients before they even ask for it. Rather than relying on personality, Activators succeed through behavior—habits, systems, and deliberate outreach. Matt explains that Activators aren't just connectors; they transform insights and introductions into meaningful client engagements. They develop daily routines, use platforms like LinkedIn strategically, and focus on helping others as a way of building trust and generating future opportunities. This episode also breaks down three action steps for aspiring rainmakers: plan business development time weekly, expand and engage your network, and proactively share insights that clients didn't know they needed. With data-driven insights and real-world examples, this conversation offers a powerful blueprint for professionals who want to become indispensable advisors.

Get ready to ditch the piggy bank and embrace the power of smart investing!Kyle's insights come from years of experience working with real estate investors, just like you. He understands the unique challenges of our industry and the need for investment vehicles that deliver both flexibility and tax advantages. SDIRAs fit the bill perfectly.Why Self-Directed IRAs are Game-Changers for Real Estate Investors:Control Your Investments: Unlike traditional IRAs, SDIRAs give you complete control over your investments. You decide where your money goes, not some faceless financial institution. You can invest in a wide range of assets, including real estate, notes, private placements, and more.Tax Advantages: SDIRAs offer significant tax advantages. Contributions may be tax-deductible, and your investments grow tax-deferred, meaning you only pay taxes when you withdraw the funds in retirement.Flexibility: SDIRAs give you the freedom to invest as you see fit. Unlike 401(k)s, there are no restrictions on investment choices, nor any limits on the amount you can contribute each year. Protection: SDIRAs provide asset protection that traditional IRAs often lack. Your assets are shielded from creditors and lawsuits, offering valuable peace of mind. Leveraging Other People's Money (OPM): An SDIRA allows you to leverage OPM (other people's money) through joint ventures and syndications, exponentially expanding your investment potential.Humor and Relatable Moments:Kyle's story was filled with relatable anecdotes about the frustrations and triumphs of building a successful real estate business. He shared stories about dealing with bureaucratic hurdles (like the infamous "medallion stamp") and the importance of choosing a provider that offers top-notch customer service. American IRA's commitment to personal service makes them stand out from the crowd, according to Kyle and Scott.The discussion also touched on the various types of SDIRAs available (solo 401(k)s, traditional and Roth IRAs, etc.), the different contribution limits for each, and the importance of working with a qualified CPA and attorney to optimize your tax strategy. Kyle emphasized that while SDIRAs are not for everyone, they can be incredibly powerful tools for building wealth through real estate and other strategic investments.Actionable Steps for Real Estate Investors:Research and Choose a Provider: Do your homework and find a reputable SDIRA provider with exceptional customer service.Set Your Investment Goals: Determine your investment strategy and asset allocation.Establish Your SDIRA: Once you've chosen a provider, open your SDIRA account.Fund Your Account: Begin contributing to your SDIRA as soon as possible. Remember, time is money in the world of investing.Scott and Kyle make a powerful team, bringing their insights and expertise to the topic of investing for the future. Their podcast offers practical advice, relatable anecdotes, and a few laughs along the way. It's a must-listen for any real estate investor looking to build a secure financial future!Book a call with KYLE HERE!Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with Scott Love the show?

What does it take to be a rainmaker? Scott Love is here to tell you. An award-winning legal recruiter, keynote speaker, author and podcast host, he's also a former Naval officer, professional card-counting black jack player and currently a passionate painter. All of these varied experiences have taught him invaluable lessons about leadership, business development, sales and growth, and he joins Chris today to share some of these lessons.    People are always observing and firms will find any reason to disqualify people, he explains. You must give them a reason to trust you and see you as a leader. This means being humble enough to recognize what you don't know, and be willing to learn–for the rest of your life. This develops an unshakeable sense of self and authenticity that will naturally encourage people to follow you.    He'll share what works and doesn't work for getting hired by law firms, especially when many are hesitant to want to grow. Cultivating yourself and being well-rounded help you define your core values and life purpose, which will set you apart as a rainmaker.  Quotes “Most of it was taking my lunch hour, and instead of watching Matlock reruns, I would watch Tony Burn training tapes. Okay, VHS tape, Steve Finkel. And I, anytime I would make a placement when I started my own thing, I would say, ‘I'm going to take 10% of my fees and invest it in coaching, seminars, books, CDs.' Anytime there's a motivational speaker coming to town, I would go to it. Whatever they're selling, I'm buying. So that was my whole philosophy, and still to this day, there is more that I don't know than what I do know, and until that changes, I'm always going to consider myself a student.” (3:36 | Scott) “One thing that I learned was that if I put 100% into something, I'm gonna get 100% return. If I put 80% into something I'm gonna get about a 20% return.” (5:26 | Scott)  “Trust me on this. When you know exactly who you are, what motivates you and where you're going, that becomes incredibly attractive to other people. People don't want to be pushed, but they're OK following someone. So you have to become someone who is followable.” (14:20 | Scott) If you follow certain principles of game theory in client development, that helps you to number one, make effective decisions; number two, be effective in your execution; and number three, take the sting out of disappointment. And in business development, there is disappointment every day. That's 80% of it.” (21:04 | Scott) “I look for people that have leadership skills. I don't care how much time you spent in the library. Tell me what you did before. Tell me about where you were. Did you play sports? Were you a  musician? You've got to practice three or four hours a day as a kid without your mom telling you to do it, and you've got to take direction, and realize it's not all about you in a symphony. So those are the things that I think make a richer experience in life and also add to the zest of an organization.” (24:47 | Scott)   Links Connect with Scott Love: Podcast: https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ Website: https://attorneysearchgroup.com/   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theliongroupkc  Instagram: @theliongroupllc Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this episode, David Ackert chats with Scott Love, President of The Attorney Search Group and a leading authority in legal recruiting, about three critical firm growth strategies: encouraging lawyers to expand their books of business through their referral network, through prospecting, and through lateral recruiting. Scott shares his expertise on how firms can overcome impediments to progress by building trust with clients, making people feel safe, prioritizing sincerity and authenticity, ensuring their efforts are regular and consistent, and always keeping the best interests of their clients top of mind. David and Scott also discuss the inherently challenging social experience of integrating new team members, and the importance of overcoming our natural tendencies towards distrust. Tune in to hear Scott share his perspective on: - The three key ways firms can grow - The importance of referrals in establishing safety and trust - Direct vs. inbound prospecting - Striking a balance between being business minded and relationship minded - How firms can leverage lateral recruiting effectively - The necessity of a strong integration process, and how it can become a key selling point for a law firm

The practice of law is not an island, it requires those relationships to grow, develop, and continue to bring in money. Build relationships, have conversations, and get into the habit of staying in touch.  "When you evaluate a partner's effectiveness, it's based on two things: the book of business and their leadership effectiveness - how well they get along with their clients and their colleagues." —  Scott Love Thank you to our Sponsors!Legalese Marketing: https://legaleasemarketing.com/Moneypenny: https://www.moneypenny.com/us/Practice Panther: https://www.practicepanther.com/ Episode References: Business Relationships that Last by Ed Wallace: https://www.amazon.com/Business-Relationships-That-Last-Performing/dp/1608320014 Connect with Scott Love:  Website: https://attorneysearchgroup.com/Podcast: https://attorneysearchgroup.com/the-rainmaking-podcast Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: Legal Business Development Isn't Rocket Science and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

5 Tips of Dealing with in-Law Issues… Marsau & LaTisha Scott | Love & Marriage: Huntsville

Why is Marsau attracting disrespect from his in-laws?   --> READ THE BLOG POST HERE https://lolaandola.com/dealing-with-in-law-issues/   --> WATCH VIDEO VERSION HERE https://youtu.be/cGWWt98h4IM   We may be speaking from our traditional perspective here but nope… We've spent most of our lives in the west.   So we have some context.. at least some.   I do think that there is a lot of disrespect coming to Marsau from Latisha's family.  But dare I say it… he deserves it because he is attracting it.   Maybe “deserve” is a little too harsh… maybe it's not relevant since for the most part, we don't know what we don't know when it comes to marriage.   What are we talking about here?   We are talking about one of our favorite shows to watch together on OWN TV; Love and Marriage: Huntsville.     It's a show in its fourth season which showcases the married life of 3 or 4 couples... one of which is Marsau and Latisha.   They've been married for years so they ‘kinda' know a lot when it comes to this marriage thing.     But it almost seems...    THAT very factor is creating a blind spot for Marsau.   In-Law issues are the necessary evil that we all have to deal with as married people.   And the fact is that Marsau talks too much when it comes to his in-laws... starting with Latisha's mother.   When I talk about “game”, people always assume that we are talking about dating or pick-up artistry only.     The truth is that married men need even more game.   The higher you climb in any form of hierarchy, the more of a shit test target you become.   Marsau's in-laws represent the first phase of Latisha's life… development years for that matter… which means there are all types of sentimental values that he will never be fully aware of.   Alright.  With that being said, let's go ahead and share 5 tips for dealing with in-laws in a way that doesn't tamper with your marriage.   Tip Number 5 Don't Save Her... She “don't” wanna be saved...   The limitations of this, of course, is a physical threat to your wife.  But you don't have the capacity to proactively save her emotionally from her own family; her source.   The safest way to remotely get close to saving her in a way that puts you at an advantage as her husband is to be that shoulder to cry on   …or a safe haven she can always trust to run to when she occasionally gets burnt over there.   I don't remember if Marsau attempted to save Tisha from her cousin while beefing about her trip with Tisha's friend which she was kept out of.   That right there is a prime example allowing her to go through that on her own.   Tip Number 4 Don't feed into it.   Many at times, it's going to feel like one or a few of your in-laws come with overbearing energy.    If it's a physical attack, call the police. That should never be tolerated.     It's usually not a physical attack. As for emotional or verbal attacks directed at you, don't feed into it. Why?   Because your wife's feelings matter to you.     So at the end of the day, you need to just remove yourself temporarily because that's what's going to create the best result for you in the long run.   Maybe in the short term it feels unfair.  But marriage is never supposed to be a competition... remember.   Remove yourself physically and temporarily if you ever feel the need to feed into negativity; it's not worth it.   Marsau finds himself feeding into Ms. Wanda's negativity all the  time. I know... "A man is supposed to check misbehavior as they come, right? No matter who it's coming from."   Wrong!  That's a short sighted way of looking at things.  Some battles are just not worth the expense.   I also know that he puts on that face CAP like it's all banter.  But we can see through the bullshit.   Tip Number 3 Don't compete with them   It's going to happen... sometimes from a very subconscious place.  You will feel like you're competing with your in-laws for your wife's attention.   It should never be a competition but I understand you are human like the rest of us.   She already chose you as the husband for a reason so it's best to just maintain self-respect and esteem and remain the king that you are in your own household.    Anything else is validation and approval seeking behavior.   This awareness we just hopefully created will go a long way for you in protecting your position and your family.   At this point, you are probably hearing me tell you to kill them with kindness.  I didn't say that.     All I am asking you to do is to maintain your desired position with a long sighted view; be it a leader or a follower.   Tip Number 2 Don't mix in-laws with business.   In one of the episodes, we watched Tisha and Marsau evaluate a food truck business venture with Ms.Wanda.     Per Tisha's request, they were to invest in that business starting with buying and fixing this old dilapidated food truck sitting in the middle of nowhere.   This is a tricky one... and there is no absolute advice here... just a little guide.   Ideally, this type of investment should be avoided if possible.     It's better to give Ms.Wanda, your in-law, whatever you want and can afford to give her as a gift so that you don't become attached or invested in the outcome of the business venture.   It was obvious that Tisha really wanted to do this with her mother.  If that's the case, Marsau is better off giving Tisha the gift and detaching himself from the outcome for his own peace of mind.   Question of the day: Share in the comment area in one word... What do you think attachment to outcomes turns into when it comes to marriage and relationships?   Tip #1 Listen... Don't judge   So let's say Marsau follows this advice  and gives Tisha the gift to invest with her mother.   From experience and analyzing a lot of cases, we know that "I told you so" moments are inevitable in the future.   As you probably already guessed, that wouldn't be a moment for Marsau to say "I told you so."   Many times, your wife will come to you and report on how her family member offended her. Don't insert yourself and start judging them.    Just listen. Just be understanding. It's okay to be fascinated.    “Wow..”  “That's crazy.”, “Interesting..” “O ga o”.   It's okay to be interested without judging.    If you're judging her family, she may feel good about it right now.    Later on or if you are consistent enough with that behavior, she may start to feel some kind of way about it because that's her family.    You're going to become the enemy.    We are speaking from experience.  In fact, we share our own story inside the book "GET MY MARRIAGE BACK" which you can download for free at www.GetMyMarriageBack.com   Please support this video by hitting the thumbs up and sharing with us below in the comment area what you'd like us to cover in the next video.
