Greetings Rainmakers!
It is springtime in Texas. The bluebonnets are in bloom, the sun is warm but not blistering and it is perfect patio weather. You may have noticed we’re running webinars now, and if you’re a Rainmaker Platform customer who hasn’t tuned in, you’re missing out. We’re trying to find the best ways to share the information you need to grow your business. Check out our next webinar and reach out with any feedback. We’d love to hear from you.
