Carol and Roger discuss the evolution of his networking as he grew his practice and the firm. Roger describes how he has used networking internal to and external to his firm to form strong relationships, develop business, train associates in building their practices, foster a culture of cross selling (in combination with innovative compensation policies), and grow Barton LLP by attracting forward movers.
