Larry Kaufman delivered an inspiring clear and concise message to our AGC members and guests. His message from the NCG Factor “Stop Selling, Start Connecting, and Building Authentic Relationships” is the perfect message that aligns with our Accelerated Global Connections core values.

Larry Kaufman is one of our top-rated speakers. He attracts attendees to our events because he knows his subject, his presentations are polished, he’s engaging and motivates our audience to act. He’s also easy to work with. Larry is a practiced speaker so he comes prepared for anything and is adaptable to different formats. We look forward to having Larry speak at more events.

Chief Sales & Marketing Officer / Corp Secretary - Price Engineering

We engaged Larry to be our Keynote at our company sales meeting with a focus on LinkedIn and sales strategy. Not only did Larry knock it out of the park, but we continually get requests for Larry to assist in taking us to the next level. Larry’s knowledge, professionalism, positive attitude, preparation, and engagement resulted in a highly successful and powerful event. In addition, his knowledge of sales management and strategy enabled him to integrate his strategy and book “The NCG Factor” which our team found invaluable. Larry’s commitment to his vision created an inspired and motivated vibe with my team.

President at a Wintrust Financial Corporation Bank (Schaumburg Bank & Trust Company, N.A.)

Larry Kaufman came into Wintrust's headquarter building on 1/23/19 to conduct a LinkedIN training for over 120 of our employees. Attendees included C&I Bankers, Executives/leaders, CRE Bankers, and credit analysts. Larry is funny and is able to hold an audience's attention during the 2 hours of training. He's interactive and does his homework on who is in his audience that day, which makes the presentation much more fun and entertaining. We have received very positive feedback from our Bankers. We'd like to thank Larry for his generous time and support in helping our Wintrust employees get more knowledge and advice on using LinkedIN to expand our connections!

Chief Operating Officer at MetaStar, Inc.

Larry Kaufman presented at the FEI-Madison chapter meeting on maximizing the value of LinkedIn. He did a phenomenal job in covering a large subject matter in a limited window of time, focusing on the things that can really make a difference to both the individual and to the businesses they work for. He is an engaging, energetic presenter that clearly kept the attention of the group, and made sure everyone had time to ask questions and understand the topics. I left with several takeaways, a few of which I immediately implemented when I returned home that evening! Definitely someone I would recommend speaking at your event or at your organization. As a CFO, I believe you would get your return on investment with Larry!

Little did we know what Larry had in store for us when he presented his LinkedIn training to our sales and leadership teams at our annual kickoff meeting this past January. In four short hours, Larry made us experts at a tool we all thought we already knew how to use. He did this in a very fun, enjoyable and upbeat manner that made the morning pass by very quickly. In the few weeks since receiving this training, I have already seen several of our team members using Larry's tips and techniques to expand networks, create warm leads and increase candidate flow for our job opportunities. Truly an enjoyable AND worthwhile experience. Thanks Larry!

Larry recently delivered his presentation on "Networking, Connecting & Giving" to my
networking group of over 5,700 members in the Chicago area and his content and
approach were very well received. Larry is an engaging presenter who is able to adapt his content to the unique needs of his audience and that's much appreciated. Networking is not an easy topic for many job seekers to embrace but Larry created a lot of interest and excitement among the group and many members are already actively applying what they learned during Larry's session.

Chief Sales Officer, EPAY Systems

As head of sales for @EPAY Systems it's critical I provide top content to our high
producing sales organization. I was fortunate to meet LARRY KAUFMAN at a networking event and we spoke about him as a potential speaker. We'd recently upgraded to Sales Nav and needed to take our usage to the next level. Larry’s enthusiasm for the solution is contagious. Probably most beneficial were the tips and tricks of converting cold people to warm connections. Here are a few quotes from the team; "Excellent presentation! Being able to utilize Linkedin to its potential will definitely help me use my time while not prospecting more productively and to my advantage." "Engaging presentation with humor, print outs to take home and gift cards" "I am new to LinkedIn I received a lot of useful information which will allow me to be able to navigate" Our sales organization is engaged and excited about the tool, thank you LARRY!
