Growth 360 Assessment

Reluctant-to-Rainmaker Blueprint

Core Idea: Growth starts with belief.

  • Reframe “selling” as helping clients succeed.

  • Overcome the fear of self-promotion.

  • Build purpose-driven confidence and growth accountability.

🟢 Outcome: Professionals embrace business development as part of their identity — not an interruption to their client’s work.

Stage 2 – Differentiation & Positioning: Standing Out with Purpose

Core Idea: Escape the sea of sameness.

  • Identify what makes the firm and individual distinct.

  • Articulate a clear, confident value narrative.

  • Learn to connect firm capabilities to client priorities.

  • Learn to guide client conversations toward opportunity.

  • Strengthening team collaboration and accountability.

Business Advisory

Partner Activation

Partners carry enormous growth expectations but based on client commitments they have limited time, structure, and support to look beyond existing projects. In addition, today’s market pressures are relentless:

  • AI-driven competition, PE-fueled urgency, client expectations that are shifting faster than ever, rising fee pressure, increased pursuit intensity, and increasing internal demands on your partner’s time.

Adding to these challenges, many partners were never effectively trained on how to:

  • Differentiate their firm, lead strategic pursuits, build cohesive teams that sell confidently, coach their delivery leaders in BD, navigate political complexity inside client accounts.

  • Drive growth consistently under enormous internal pressure.

We help your partners overcome these challenges with clarity, structure, and a repeatable approach.

Why It Matters?

Partner Behavior is the #1 Predictor of Firmwide Growth!

When partners engage confidently and consistently:

  • They elevate client relationships.

  • They unlock larger, more strategic opportunities.

  • Their teams become more proactive.

  • Differentiation becomes stronger.

  • Pursuits become sharper and more competitive.

  • Growth feels achievable—not overwhelming.

Your partners don’t need more meetings or more theory. They need practical, field-tested support that improves results immediately.
