He encourages salespeople to bring their authentic selves to the forefront and to engage in personal and professional conversations with clients. The episode also discusses the need for salespeople to slow down and collaborate with clients, rather than rushing through the sales process.
Larry suggests that salespeople seek feedback from clients to ensure that their perception aligns with the value they are delivering.
