Neil Dishman
Attorney
I was uncomfortable seeking new business, but I’ve always liked helping people. Steve 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.

As an attorney, where would I have learned how to grow a sustainable business? Steve Fretzin is more than a teacher of business development, he acts as a doctor to diagnose and eliminate the issues we attorneys face every day in attempting to grow a law practice. Whether you are a highly seasoned attorney or just starting out, you will definitely benefit from his insights and teachings. I strongly recommend Steve!

Steve is the consummate professional, and thus well positioned to advise other professionals. I decided to leave my comfort zone and attend the Consumer Electronics Show to find new clients. Steve gave me the confidence – and the strategy – for making this venture a major success. His advice was concrete, practical and – best of all – effective. Hats off to Steve!
