Episode notes

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love sits down with Patrick Morin, CEO of Transact Capital, to discuss how rainmakers can maximize their time at conferences. Patrick shares proven strategies that have generated millions in business, from doing research and segmenting attendees before arrival, to positioning yourself in the right places—like across from registration desks or in the front rows of sessions—to build meaningful connections. He emphasizes preparation, authenticity, and focusing on relationship-building rather than selling.

Patrick also highlights post-conference follow-up tactics that strengthen client development, such as sending short, thoughtful notes and sharing industry intelligence without expecting anything in return. He stresses the importance of speaking opportunities, attending offsite events, and maintaining high energy throughout the conference to create loyal connections. His practical insights show how professionals can turn conferences into powerful rainmaking opportunities.
