7th year transactional, client/friend just referred another potential client my way and it will likely result in collections of 100-150k. Same day as my annual review where multiple partners said Iโ€™m great with clients and that clients bypass partners to come straight to me. As a secret introvert but public extrovert, this feels hilariously validating ๐Ÿ˜‚

I knew there would probably be only sarcastic responses, all good, I know how to applaud myself ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™Œ that would just be the first deal, silly gooses. Those usually turn into a pipeline ๐Ÿ˜œ

I love that!! Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

150k? Yay, thatโ€™s like a new coffee machine

This is great! Congrats.

The firm may not want to take on a client that is only going to generate $100k-$150k because the effort to collect on a bill for a small client may not be worth it. My friend brought in a small client and the partners and billing put the onus on him to collect on the outstanding $75k bill. It caused him a lot of unnecessary stress.

Thanks! Weโ€™ve done deals like this before, so I think it wonโ€™t be a problem. Usually itโ€™s the first one we take a bit of a hit on, but it leads to a steady pipeline

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.

Iโ€™ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but Iโ€™ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
