On April 1st I assumed the role of Rainmaker President. The attached article summarizes the announcement. My role within Rainmakers will be to work with the leadership in the organization and “tighten the tribe.” In other words, get back to the fundamentals of what has made the organization the powerful marketing resource it is. I am very excited to be working with the leadership and the 1400 plus members in their efforts to market their companies and prosper their businesses and lives.

Letter to The Tribe

Hi Rainmakers,
Over the past several months Tony Scelzo, Lorraine Ball and I have been developing a future vision for Rainmakers. We reflected on our core values: strategic relationships, hospitality, accountability, recruiting and inspiration. We concluded that in order to further the organization’s success, we needed to focus on making an even greater impact on our members’ businesses; in short, to help our members achieve their goals. We determined we will do this by fostering leadership, mutual success and personal responsibility.
My role in this effort will be to “tighten the tribe”. I will focus on our core values and leverage the Rainmakers model to help each member’s business prosper. As you know by now, the Rainmaker model is built upon using networking as a tool to create strategic relationships that build business. I will be working closely with the hub chairs to develop their boards into powerful mastermind groups that drive business development. In addition, I will conduct white board sessions for members to help them discover new business development strategies.
The Rainmaker model is simple but not easy. It takes time to create strategic partnerships and achieve your business goals. To that end, you can hold me accountable to the following:
- The leadership in this organization will fully support and “own” the Rainmakers model.
- Members will have a clear understanding of the resources available to fully leverage their Rainmakers membership.
- One year from now Rainmakers will be an even stronger organization.
We will Be More and We will Serve More!
