Most meetings end the moment the room empties, and that’s the default outcome unless you interrupt it on purpose. Larry’s karma framework treats a single interaction as an opening balance, not a finished transaction. Thank, forgive, tip, reciprocate fast: those four moves are how he claims to turn a handshake into a habit of staying in touch.
The easiest way to keep a relationship alive is to give the other person a reason to hear from you again that isn’t a favor request. That could be a resource, an introduction, or something you built and published that they’d actually want to see. This is where Web12 comes in: you publish something to a page you own, then send it to the one person, not a mass list.
A page beats a text message because it’s proof you did something with the meeting, not just remembered it happened. Larry pushes showing up prepared and calm in the room itself, because a forgettable first meeting has nothing to extend later.
Take real notes while you’re with them. It gives you specific material to follow up on instead of generic warmth. Set your own reminder to check back in a month, because the other person almost never will.
One meeting becomes a relationship through repetition, not through a single clever message. Treat the first meeting as the pitch and every follow up after as the actual relationship.
