Frequently Asked Questions
What does a business development coach for lawyers do? A business development coach helps attorneys build the skills and habits to attract and keep clients, including networking, creating a business plan, pitching, and growing existing relationships. A good business development coach does this in ways that are authentic to the specific attorneys.
Do you work with law firms or individual attorneys? Both! We offer group training/workshops, Mastermind facilitation, and retreat presentations for law firms, and one-on-one coaching for individual attorneys (sometimes brought on by the law firm and sometimes individually).
How long does coaching last? Our coaching programs require a six-month initial commitment, which gives attorneys time to build and test a plan. Most of our clients continue far beyond the six months.
Is coaching virtual? Yes. All coaching is virtual - we make great use of our time without wasting various six minute increments!
What makes Upward Stride different? We believe there’s no single right way to develop business. We help each attorney find an approach that fits their strengths and personality, so business development is authentic. Randi Rosenblatt is a former corporate lawyer who worked at firms and in-house before running a business development team at a legal staffing firm. She understands the legal industry, the challenges with business development, and the tools necessary to build a practice.
