A Rainmaker . . . 

​

In many dozens of world mythologies, a Rainmaker, or rain god, brings rain to the earth to make things

grow - giving man the sustenance that he needs to live.

​

In the modern world, the term Rainmaker can apply to anyone – from the marketing or salesperson

who always finishes first in sales or closes the biggest deals to the engineer who consistently develops

innovative ways to present a company’s products to the program manager that increases production

while reducing costs.
 

In the purest sense, a Rainmaker is a difference maker.

​

Just as too little rain causes drought and prevents vegetation (or your business) from thriving, too much rain causes flooding which leads to devastation. Likewise, too much business, or the search for too much business, over a limited period, can stretch the management and operational resources of a business to the point of destruction.

​
