[quote=Anonymous]I'm an introverted, female law partner in a boutique regulatory firm. I became partner based solely on my skills at doing good work, making existing clients like me, and finding ways to be helpful to these clients without being overbearing. Late last week, I was told in no uncertain terms to go get new clients for the firm, as one of our big projects is drying up. I have three kids under 5 and little free time. I've never networked a minute in my life (unless you call trying to be a nice person to those you encounter networking) and just don't have contacts with the people who make the hiring and firing decisions. Where do I start? Do I just go ask random people to lunch and pitch them? Would that even work? I'm so not cut out for this, since I would feel terrible "poaching" someone who already has counsel...[/quote]
