Randi was invaluable in helping us identify business development goals…
“We started working with Randi because we knew it was time to focus on growing our business, but were unsure how to get started. As a former lawyer and legal entrepreneur, Randi was invaluable in helping us identify business development goals, create strategic plans for achieving them, and execute on those plans. Going beyond just business development, Randi was able to give us practical and results-driven advice to help our business run more smoothly from top to bottom. Randi’s warm and engaging style kept our meetings productive and on-track. We are a small law firm and each of our partners have distinct personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. Randi was able to work with each of us on many levels, including as individuals and collectively as a business team. We highly recommend Randi to any law firm seeking an experienced, thoughtful adviser to help build their business.”

She helps me tailor my business plan around my authentic self…
“Randi Rosenblatt makes Business Development fun! Prior to 2020, I never really had to do business development. Things changed that year and as a “mature” attorney, I needed someone who would teach me the 101 of Business Development. Randi came to the rescue and is an amazing supportive partner on my Business Development adventure. We have only worked together for three months but in that time, I have gotten a number of meetings with key decision makers at potential clients. Randi is creative in her ideas and approach. What I like best is that she helps me tailor my business plan around my authentic self which shines through to the people I meet. I don’t feel like I am doing a sales hard sell-rather I am offering up my quality and experienced legal services to assist people with their legal issues. I now have a Business Development plan for the year and have many contacts to pursue. My firm biography and LinkedIn page are updated to reflect who I am as a lawyer and as a person.
Randi and Upward Stride have pushed me not only upward but onward into 2022.”

My secret weapon!
“Randi is my secret weapon. She is smart, practical, strategic, creative, intentional, supportive and, because she has boots-on-the-ground legal experience, she provides guidance and suggestions that simply makes sense to me. With her help, I have been able to pinpoint how to frame my business (and business development efforts) to capitalize on both my skills and my passion, and I have begun building a successful brand that is being recognized both inside and outside my law firm. By identifying publication opportunities, creating opportunities to engage my network, and determining how to effectively and impactfully share my voice, Randi is helping me take my practice to the next level. I cannot recommend Randi highly enough. She is fabulous!”

I left every conversation excited and invigorated, with a ton of new ideas to pursue!
“I wanted to work with Randi because I was getting stuck on the “action” steps of business development – how to turn personal relationships and conversations into actually developing business. Randi exceeded my expectations – she gave concrete advice (down to how to phrase emails/conversations) that was practical, realistic and reflected her very specific knowledge and experience in the industry. I left every conversation with Randi excited and invigorated, with a ton of new ideas and paths to pursue and it turned business development into something that was fun and energizing rather than a point of stress and anxiety. She gave me excellent feedback on my business plan and long and short term goals and was an absolutely invaluable partner in my development as a senior associate and in achieving my goal to be a strong, business-generating partner at my law firm.”

Tremendous value to my law practice!
“I had the pleasure of meeting Randi through LinkedIn, and she has added tremendous value to my law practice and consulting practice ever since. Randi is a master connector - her connections pretty much always result in clients for my law firm, which is so appreciated as a small business entrepreneur. Additionally, Randi is facilitating a networking Mastermind for me and a small group of other female law firm owners, and it has opened my eyes to so many helpful tools for my practice, and also allowed me the opportunity to assist other firm owners with their practices, which is extremely fulfilling. Anyone looking to take their law firm or law practice to the next level should definitely contact Randi!”

My secret weapon!
“I began working with Randi to get my new solo firm on the right track for growing my client base and increasing my revenue. Randi provided many suggestions at our monthly meetings on what it takes to grow a law firm. She helped me see that investing in the business – whether time, money or resources – is essential to succeed. In our time working together, I learned from her recommendations and began outsourcing administrative work that was stealing time from my client billable hours. I loved Randi’s honesty and refreshing observations to help push me forward and get out of my comfort zone. She really knows how to get you on track to be a business owner and not just a worker-bee. She has great connections and is very sensitive to solo and small firms to get the right resources in the right budget. I loved working with Randi and look forward to continuing our relationship together as my firm continues to grow.”

Randi is super connected and has a lot of business development expertise
“Randi facilitated a Mastermind group for me over six months. I had been thinking about the group, but her organization and facilitation got the group off the ground. Randi kept us organized and on track. She also made sure to take and circulate notes so we could focus on the meeting/Mastermind. Randi is also super connected and has a lot of business development expertise and her sharing that with us was invaluable. She came up with the format for our group and kept us on track with our goals and connected us in between sessions. I would not hesitate to do another mastermind group with Randi or recommend her to anyone looking for this type of peer support. Thank you, Randi!”

She facilitates really meaningful, informative conversations!!
“I can't recommend Randi highly enough. No matter what the challenge, she knows of a book, a conference, a specific person, or whatever it is to work through your business challenge. I am part of a Mastermind legal coaching group with her and she has done a wonderful job helping me expand my network of people who are at exactly the same place I am in developing my business. She asks great questions and facilitates really meaningful, informative conversations. Most importantly, she holds me accountable for meeting my business development goals. Highly recommend her services!”

Accountability and brilliant ideas to get it done!!
“Randi helped me envision and accomplish what I could not see for myself and I am beyond grateful to know her! Randi and I began working together in the middle of the global pandemic and she encouragingly challenged every excuse I had for abandoning business development. At a time when my competing demands of running a practice, homeschooling young children, making meals, cleaning a kitchen….all seemed just too much to prioritize growing my own book of business, she provided the accountability and brilliant ideas to get it done. Randi helped me navigate what felt like an impossible situation and in doing so the year is looking bright! I cannot say enough good things about Randi!”

Her energy, intelligence, and real-world experience shine through in everything she does.
“Randi is, quite simply, the best. Her energy, intelligence, and real-world experience in the legal trenches shine through in everything she does. As someone who had never engaged in business development, I was skeptical about the process and reluctant to “market” myself. But not only did Randi show me that it works, she helped me understand my own business and to plan for the road ahead. Of all her many virtues, however, I think Randi’s greatest skill is the way she questions, listens, and absorbs the details of your practice, and then tailors suggestions and recommendations that are specific and practical. For my media/entertainment law practice she suggested a “producers’ bootcamp,” and then helped me create and market it. The multi-day seminars were a huge success, and continue to generate business. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Her experience is evident in her approach to business development!
“Working with Randi on a one-on-one basis has provided me with a necessary framework to scale my employment litigation practice! She is intentional and thoughtful in focusing my business development efforts, pushes me to lean into and expand my practice strategically and authentically, and holds me accountable for meeting the goals we set. Since working together, I created a plan forward, identified funnels of opportunities that are starting to generate new work, succeeded in getting published and finding additional speaking and writing opportunities, and identified new ways to leverage and expand my network. Randi’s experience as a lawyer and as a sales leader are evident in her approach to business development. Further, Randi’s energy is contagious and so appreciated as we work together!”
