5.0 out of 5 stars A new way to network January 17, 2008

By Maximilian Sancho

Format:Hardcover

As someone who hates to "network," I found the advice in Click to be a godsend. Click completely changed the way I think about networking--instead of approaching someone with the mentality of "what can I get out of them," you learn to approach people with the mentality of "What can I give to them? How can I make this realtionship click?" As a result, networking goes from being a self-seeking exercise to a self-enhancing one. It's truly changed the way I think when I meet people for the first time--a must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid fundamentals March 16, 2008

By Michael P. Maslanka

Format:Hardcover

Fraser hits the high points: be nice to everyone; be positive; see the good in people and say it. His section on holding your tongue when provoked is excellent. He quotes Sartre to great effect: "Words are loaded pistols." And he has an interesting take on your network: if you are the smartest person in it, you are building it the wrong way. Good point.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dynamic Diva Clicks with Click!!!!!!! February 17, 2008

By Elon Bomani, author

Format:Hardcover

Click is an dynamic book that gives step-by step guidance as to how you can develop advanced networking skills that will help you improve the quality of your relationship with your mate, business partners,clients associates and friends.

Click gives you directions on how to identify if a relationship is healthy or toxic. Most important, Click deals with the business of reconnecting you with the personal touches that make-up a quality relationship like integrity, loyalty, honesty, respect, honor and unconditional love.

In this techi-world that we live in, we have lost touch with social graces that help us build long lasting, valuable relationships. We are too busy emailing, text messaging,blogging and talking on the cell phone to really connect with people.

George Fraser, via Click, reminds us about the simple things in life that has such a profound impact on our wealth, health, well-being and spirituality- a joke,a smile, words of encouragement and support. These intrinsic values that have become lost, we need to find.

You can achieve so much in business and in life by authentically clicking with folks of like-mind and working together to make this world the best it is destined to be. Buy Click if you want to fall in love with networking and connecting with people.
