Book Description

Oct 4 2005

Networking requires you to "kiss a lot of frogs" (i.e., meet a lot of people) to find your "princes"-those precious few who can make a difference in your life. But the real secret to networking is discovering what you can do for someone else.

Networking guru Darcy Rezac helps redefine networking-his "what can I do for you?" approach has helped thousands overcome their fear of networking and find more success. Rezac uses his trademarked 7-step N.E.T.W.O.R.K. process to help readers avoid the "toads" and make the right connections-in business and in life.

N: Never leave home without one's business cards

E:  Establish, exchange, engage-simple techniques that really work

T:  Travel in pairs-how to have more fun networking

W:"Work the pond"-practice Positive Networking and use time wisely

O: Opportunity is everywhere-discover "small-worlds" connections

R:  Repeat, repeat, repeat-the more networking one does, the better one gets

K: Keep it going-the art of follow-up and relationship-building

5.0 out of 5 stars Make Your Networking Fun and Easy! May 7 2009
Format:Paperback
Using the great metaphor of a 'Pond', this book:
1) is easy to read
2) is fun to read
3) Inspired me to get out networking!

I had never 'networked' before but after moving to a new country, knowing no-one and starting a new business I knew I wanted friends and needed contacts.

This short and wonderful book gave me plenty of suggestions, tips and ideas on WHAT networking is, how to network WELL and what to do when other people in your networking are not so pleasant...

This is what I remember from reading the book; focus on the other person, ask them questions, (have a technique to) remember something about them, offer something helpful if you can, be SURE to follow-up and don't take anything to heart.

Even the author has been seriously snubbed by people who 'should' know better.

Read this book about networking, apply the principles and whilst it won't take away ALL your nervousness it will make your networking life SO much easier and fun!
