  • Stop trying to sell and become a great seller

    This is the one great insight that hit me right between the eyes. I need to stop “trying” to sell and actually become the great seller I can be. Understanding what it takes to be great in sales has long eluded me until I found this goldmine! The mindset I have developed by listening to this podcast has more than doubled my closing rate… plus the confidence I now project is filthy! Best sales pod out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TRP 308: [Legal] 2025 State of the Legal Industry Report with Phil Flora
Q: What have you seen related to partner promotions from the data from last year?
Partner promotions were at record levels in 2025, with more than 3,700 new partners, and over 70% of these promotions involved lateral hires, indicating a strong preference for promoting from hires with proven track records rather than solely internal progression.
TRP 308: [Legal] 2025 State of the Legal Industry Report with Phil Flora
Q: Tell me about the trends that you've seen for last year in lateral hiring, Phil.
Lateral hiring grew robustly across both the MLAW 200 and non-MLAW firms, with about 9% year-over-year growth in the MLAW 200 and similar growth outside it. The biggest drivers were growth in corporate, real estate, banking, healthcare, immigration, and government practices, with a shift toward hiring more experienced attorneys who may bring books of business, suggesting more sustainable growth than entry-level hiring.
TRP 304: [Legal] Connecting the Dots: Pricing, Practice, and Profits with Tim Corcoran
Q: What three actions should a firm take to start implementing these ideas?
Begin by examining firm data to understand what services are priced and valued, then identify misaligned incentives within the firm, and finally design engineered cross-sell opportunities that align with the client's supply chain and future needs.
TRP 306: [Legal] Build Authority and Win Clients with Video with Robert Weiss
Q: Pull out ideas that can really help our listeners. Let me ask you this question, the why of video. Why do you think that helps build authority?
Video builds authority by enabling direct, human-to-human interactions that inform and educate, and by giving buyers a tangible sense of who the professional is; it enhances know, like, and trust more effectively than other digital channels, especially when integrated with existing marketing objectives.
TRP 303: Business Development as Theater with Jason Stiehl
Q: Can you share a concrete example of turning a conference interaction into a business opportunity?
A client presentation revealed shared interests in music and books; after praising the talk, the guest connected with the presenter over those interests, leading to a long-term professional relationship and eventual work together. This shows how non-work conversations can lay the groundwork for future collaboration.
