Some handshakes? Forgettable.
A quick grip at a networking event. A bland introduction at a meeting.
But the right handshake?
Can change your entire career.
Today’s story is about Louie Calabrese—a financial advisor stuck in the mid-tier market, spinning his wheels… until one handshake led to a $10 million client. No aggressive pitch. No flashy presentation. Just presence, positioning, and timing.
