5.0 out of 5 stars A networking book for everyone, October 1, 2006

This review is from: Million Dollar Networking: The Sure Way To Find, Keep And Grow Your Business (Capital Business) (Hardcover)

You can't get bad advice from an Andrea Nierenberg book, and Million Dollar Networking is no exception. But be ready to take action. In each and every chapter there are easy examples and tips for getting started like a list of different reasons to send someone a thank you note. There's even a chapter for Introverts; a discussion of the differences between men and women; and lots of etiquette. Chock full of lots of good, and sometimes more importantly, bad networking stories, this book is a good overview of everything related to networking.

Where to begin...Ms. Nierenberg's work covers a plethora of networking topics. Her writing technique keeps the reader interested and involved. She does a great job communicating the "theory" of networking through her many personal stories. Also, the book helps the reader identify future opportunities through the use of constructive worksheets. And last, but certainly not least, the appendix (usually filler in most books) is an invaluable reference tool.

What is the difference between a someone with average networking skills and superior networking skills? This book. In "Million Dollar Networking", Andrea Nierenberg explains that networking as a "skill" that can be developed like any other skill we learn. There is a chapter that addresses some of the unique challenges that an introverted person might face while developing this skill. The book's appendices are a great source of information and the reader can refer back to often.
