MeetingWave – A New Tool for RainMakers

As I mentioned in our recent MeetingWave Blog post:

I came up with the idea of creating MeetingWave while I was an associate at a law firm in NYC. It became clear to me that leveraging the vast reach of the Internet would be a great way to meet potential clients and become a “RainMaker”. Well, I never stayed long enough to make partner (once described as “winning a pie eating contest where the first prize is a pie”), but I instead went to work as a lawyer at a company.

Even though I left the law firm world, I am very excited to see that MeetingWave is being used by attorneys for offline networking and perhaps a little rainmaking. Case in point – the following Invite was recently posted:

Invite Title: “Employment Law Discussion”

Description: Free and open discussion about employment law issues; get free legal advice; there is no obligation to continue with / employ / hire the lecturing attorney

The MeetingWave member posted recurring Invites at a number of places. This is a smart move – giving others a number of options as to where to meet can increase the chance of getting acceptances.

We’re behind you 100% MassLawJim. Good luck and thanks for the support.
