About Rainmaker Academy
Adam says, “The Rainmaker Academy (TRA) was a tremendously important part of my personal and professional development. While I have been commended for my potential in sales, being somewhat introverted left me wanting to figure out how to leverage my skills. Fortunately, RMA provided me with the necessary tools to recognize my natural abilities and refine my approach, resulting in newfound confidence and success.
Through TRA’s guidance and coaching, I was able to enter the partnership with Haynie & Company, a testament to the value of investing in me, and the Firm was truly worthwhile. Since my promotion in November 2021, I have surpassed all projections and goals, generating a return on investment (ROI) of approximately 100 times the class cost.
The cascade program that the TRA program requires its participants to administer is essential not only for the participants but also for the firms that sponsor them, setting that strong foundation. Educating future partners and instilling a growth mindset in the leadership “bench” is crucial for the Firm’s growth and evolution.”
