"You can't call in favors from transactional relationships. No one's going to want to help you." — Larry Kaufman
You've been showing up and throwing up. Pitching before connecting. Selling before listening. And wondering why your relationships don't convert. Larry Kaufman — bestselling author of The NCG Factor, global speaker, and one of the most well-connected rainmakers in the business — sits down with Karl to get brutally honest about what authentic relationship building actually looks like, and why most professionals are doing it completely backwards.
Larry's approach is simple, human, and surprisingly rare: stop trying to be interesting. Start being interested. The business follows — always.
What you'll walk away with:
- Why "showing up and throwing up" is quietly destroying your pipeline — and the dead-simple shift that changes everything
- How to use research and great questions to build authentic client connections before you ever talk business
- The "indispensable concierge" mindset that makes you the person everyone wants in their corner
- Larry's real story of a contact who vanished for 10 years, cold-pitched him, and what happened when Larry handed him a book instead of a favor
- Why being too transactional is a long-term business death sentence — and how relationship-driven revenue growth actually compounds over time
- The exact first step to take if you've been leaning too transactional and want to start rebuilding real relationships today
