the Rainmaker
You're the one who lands the job with a handshake, then turns around and pushes the crew until it's done — work shows up because you went out and got it.
Sound like you?
- You've talked a stranger into a deal before lunch, more than once.
- You quote the job on the spot and figure out the how on the drive back.
- When the phone stops ringing, you get restless and start making calls yourself.
- People say yes to you and only later wonder why.
- You'd rather chase two new jobs than sit through one long meeting about the old one.
The Rainmaker at work
Beside a Rainmaker, you never worry where next month's work is coming from — they've already shaken the hand that brings it. They're the go-to when a deal is stalling, a customer is cooling off, or somebody needs to walk in cold and walk out with a signed job. They talk fast, decide fast, and pull people along by sheer forward motion. A crew with one eats well: the pipeline stays full because this person can't stand an empty one.
Promises ahead of capacity and leaves somebody else holding the delivery.
