HE SAYS, SHE SAYS: “How Can We Do Business?”

It’s no surprise that communicating with the opposite sex can be tricky. Hidden in the glitches are often misleading assumptions about each gender that beg for help. Finally, help is here.

Learn the secrets to accurately reading between the gender lines, and uncover a new edge for your business—the power to effectively talk business and successfully network with the opposite sex.

See the research at BusinessNetworkingandSex.com:
12,000 + business professionals weigh in on the opposite sex—see what they had to say.

Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

In this wonderful new book he takes yet another new and novel look at networking, and tells us why it works, how it works, and why it is so necessary for all of us to take it as seriously as we do the most important functions in our businesses…or live to pay the price. Read this book, and send a copy to a friend. Important stuff for all of us determined to grow in this difficult, difficult world. Thank you, Ivan, for your focus. We all need it!" -- Michael E.

"You've heard the phrase 'sex sells,' but have you ever heard anyone explain how to sell to the opposite sex?

Business Networking and Sex outlines the key similarities and differences between the genders when it comes to networking so you'll never have to guess again about the best way to sell to the opposite sex." -- Dr. Tony Alessandra, author of The Platinum Rule and Non-Manipulative Selling

5.0 out of 5 stars Any Book That Comes with a Disclaimer..., Dec 19 2011
By Erin L. Albert "yuspie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Business Networking and Sex: Not What You Think (Paperback)
...is going to be a good one. And this book comes with one - right up front. I had to re-read it in order to not raise my blood pressure too much.

This book is a must-read for anyone in business, in entrepreneurship, or in any arena where they must connect to others. With over 12,000 responders to their survey data, they share the data, then viewpoints from both the feminine and masculine perspectives.

Honestly? Some of the data I found consistent with my own beliefs about networking. Some of the data simply made me mad, in that stereotypes can be alive and well in networking, unfortunately (particularly as a single woman). However, this book dares to actually address some of those stereotypes, and how to effectively manage around them to build an amazingly strong network over time.

As an introvert who had to learn about networking the hard way, I'd highly recommend this book to at a minimum understand the business networking dynamics out there, and better yet, to understand how to work around them and become a better networker. Read. This. Book!

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT book with LOTS of data and several INTERESTING INSIGHTS!, Dec 23 2011
By C. Spencer Reynolds "Business Coach - Book Af... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Business Networking and Sex: Not What You Think (Paperback)
This is a FUN book for business people and especially NETWORKERS! If business networking has anything to with you in your business and success, listen to this one... Your gender DOES MATTER in the HOW TO of networking. Sex...Gender... what ever you want to call it ;-) has a bearing on your conversations and this is a FUN way to learn what those differences are, with real extensive data backing everything up!

I have read A LOT of networking books and whereas this book may not make my MUST READs list, it is certainly worth a few hours of your time to understand the differences between men and woman and the ways we network and what we expect from those activities. Thanks Ivan, Hazel and Frank... THROUGHLY ENJOYED IT!
