📊 Science says ~150. Business says ~30.
Ever heard of Dunbar’s Number? It suggests we can only maintain about 150 relationships. But in business development, David Ackert found that the real magic number is between 9–35.
✅ Focus on fewer, high-impact relationships
✅ Stop wasting time on low-value networking
✅ Build strategic, long-term referral channels
If you're a lawyer trying to grow your book of business, this concept is a game-changer.
