Quotes from real FRETZIN clients.

For my Roundtable programs:

Everyone in RRT has a substantial book of business, has a mindset and a hunger to develop more, and ‘gets it’ when it comes to networking and creating referral relationships with others.

Steve’s RRT Group is excellent, and I highly recommend it. Steve has created a framework where you have the opportunity to regularly interact with and share ideas with other attorneys who have had great business development success in their respective fields. We also get the benefit of Steve’s and other guest speakers’ invaluable insights on ways to continue to improve our marketing and business development efforts. I have really enjoyed the Group.

Regardless of type of practice or size of firm, client development challenges are universal. Crowdsourcing successful approaches to these challenges among other lawyers who are focused on client development is invaluable and the RRT platform makes it possible.

Steve Fretzin‘s Rainmakers Round Table makes me feel like Dorothy coming home in The Wizard of Oz. Like Dorothy, everything I need I can find in my own backyard … the skill set I have to offer, passion for the work I do and the means to connect with other people and communicate in a way that creates lasting relationships of trust and confidence.

RRT is like a Vistage group on marketing steroids. Steve’s recipe for the Roundtable is to mix his latest business development ideas with great outside speakers and the participation of peak performers on a mission to raise the bar even higher.

Real Reviews From Real Fretzin Clients

Steve is the best of the best at his job and the tremendous services he offers. I was able to quadruple my clientele thanks to his tutelage. I continue to recommend him to any of my colleagues.

In the year after working with Steve, I more than tripled my volume of legal business and had one of the most profitable years in my 25 years of practicing the law.

Steve has a proven system for helping lawyers succeed at developing high-value clients. Steve emphasizes building relationships and provides the tools to do that. I often felt “busy” at business development, but sometimes unproductive. Steve helped me focus on where and how to best spend my time and resources. I also better understand how and why buyers make decisions and can tailor my meetings to meet them where they are and help move them to a well informed choice of counsel. His six-month course was very valuable and was time and money well invested.

Steve helped me develop a solid business development strategy and has provided invaluable advice in its execution. Because of this, my practice has experienced consistent growth since working with Steve, as opposed to the roller coaster ups and downs of business development before. I recommend Steve without hesitation to any attorney serious about growing a book of business in a smart, efficient manner.

I worked with Steve Fretzin as he helped me sharpen and hone my networking skills, as well as grow my book of business. He is fantastic and I can’t recommend him highly enough! He provided practical tools to develop better relationships with your network and attract clients, and I believe these tools work well for female and male attorneys alike. He was mindful in tailoring his program to fit my needs and personality. He also held me accountable to my goals and pushed me to reach them! Thank you, Steve!

Working with Steve to refine my business development skills has been a tremendous opportunity. He is quickly able to take what seems like such a hard and scary part of being a lawyer and turn it into something that is so simple and straightforward, you wonder why you didn’t figure it out on your own. And then when you implement the strategies he teaches, you immediately begin to reap the rewards. I no longer dread networking or seeking new business. Thanks to Steve, I know exactly what needs to be done and when I should be doing it. If you are a lawyer who has struggled with business development and growing your book, give Steve a call. He is absolutely worth the investment.

Heather Macklin
Shareholder, Davis Kuelthau, s.c.

Before working with Steve, I lacked discipline in my networking and forming of strategic partnerships to get new business. I dreaded networking. I dreaded “sales.” As a female solo at the start of my career, I faced some pretty steep challenges, but with Steve’s help he guided me to a path of discipline, cogent strategy, and more enjoyment of everyday networking. All of this resulted in more business and higher quality business. Always available to chat and strategize, working with Steve is the best investment we ever made.

Working with Steve has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my career. His communication methods are adaptable to any practice area and any individual style. Thanks to Steve’s coaching, I’ve been able to truly focus and grow my practice over the last year. The results have far exceeded my own expectations.

I had the privilege of being a student in Steve’s business development course for attorneys. By implementing his processes and methodology I was able to get time I was “wasting” on “networking” back for myself while almost immediately seeing an increase in revenue. Aside from being amazing at what he does, Steve is also a great friend who has introduced me to great groups and professionals throughout the US and always willing to lend a hand (or ear). 11 out of 10!

Steve is great at getting you to look at practice development in a whole different light. I was uncomfortable seeking new business, but I’ve always liked helping people. He gave me the tools and comfort to see business development not as sales but as an offer to help. Changing my approach over the last six months has led to a jump in my new originations, two-fold last year, and I’ve already surpassed that figure in the first two months of this year. Thanks, Steve!
