"YOUR BOOKLET IS BRILLIANT!! It's great advice, organized well, and nicely presented. I like the ideas for how people can use it as a networking tool. You go girl!" -- Lisa R. Sulgit, lisa@sulgit.com
Dear Friend,
Do you wish networking were easier? Wouldn't you love it if your ideal clients or the perfect job opportunities found their way to you?
To grow your business and get ahead in this competitive environment, you have to network. But it doesn't have to be hard if you're smart about what you do. This booklet can help.
102 Secrets to Smarter Networking shows you how to:
- Start networking within your comfort zone
- Introduce yourself with maximum impact
- Ask for help without looking helpless
- Participate effectively in networking groups and events
- End the awkwardness in starting and ending conversations
- Build relationships to take your business -- and confidence -- to the next level
"Your networking booklet is fantastic! What a fabulous resource! It is rare that I find networking advice that is free from suggestions that I want to criticize. So much of the networking advice out there is quite flawed. Bravo!" -- Cindy Friedlander, executive coach
Why is this booklet so effective for so many people?
First, this booklet wasn't written for the naturally extroverted, but for the 80% of us who aren't. You can find plenty of networking advice from extroverts. Extroverts love to socialize. They chat up a storm on airplanes and in the grocery line, often to the chagrin of the person next to them. They look at a roomful of strangers and see excitement and opportunity, rather than a big mental drain. For them, networking seems to come easily, but you know you could never do what they do and wouldn't want to.
Though I'm not a born networker, I AM highly strategic and practical. My firm, Consult Ad Hoc, helps companies get more with less, and I apply that same mindset to the subject of networking. I've built a successful consulting business almost solely through networking, using the ideas in this booklet.
Second, because of its format, this booklet has a high return vs. effort ratio. Why go through the trouble to read a 200-page book when you can get all the tactics you need in 20 pages? If you're looking for information on the philosophy and theory of networking, this booklet isn't for you. If you have a lot of time on your hands and enjoy a long, slow read, this booklet isn't for you.
"I love how it's organized into bite-sized pieces and how you communicate so much information so succinctly." -- Laura Siner, marketing strategy consultant
