Sales Speak: How to Close New Business
There is a tried and true method to seal the deal with a new client ' an area that many lawyers have trouble with. Attorneys are typically very good at describing their skills and recounting problems they have solved for other clients, but they struggle with asking for the business.
In sales, this is known as “the close,” which is actually the easiest step in the sales process, so long as you have set up the foundation that leads up to it. There are five steps:
- Research.
- Connect.
- Meet.
- Establish Rapport.
- Follow up.
Bear in mind that business development is just like dating. If a guy were to ask a gal to go out, he wouldn't ask her to get married on the first date. There's usually a lot of getting-to-know-you and courtship involved, and then eventually, if it works out, you get to the close. And that's where we all want to be.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
