A few have even touched on the disconnect between the need for active sales initiatives and the inherent reluctance of most lawyers to engage in such activities. With Selling in Your Comfort Zone, the Kohn brothers have produced the first book that centers around this critical issue and puts forth a comprehensive and practical guide for overcoming the discomfort and allowing lawyers to excel at business development while remaining true to their nature."
