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.

We are not taught how to network in college, or perhaps anywhere else in our natural path of life. Well, this book teaches you all you wanted to know and much more. Even as a student and an introvert by nature, I have made contacts and developed meaningful friendships and professional relationships by using the tools from this book. Get this book, you will thank yourself!

Sequels are tough, but Miss Nierenberg has succeeded -- and then some. We hard chargers will try anything new to continue our edge over the competition, and Million Dollar Networking offers many pointers for us. Miss Nierenberg reminds us that "the relationship" in relationship selling must be built and remodeled to continually maintain fresh interaction with our clientele. Our key tool in this "building and remodeling" is networking at the right time, in the right manner, and with the right people. Andrea is a good architect, and Million Dollar Networking is a solid set of blueprints.

I applaud her most for the "nuts and bolts" approach to beginning that relationship. This book is full of examples and exercises to aid not only the hard chargers, but also those contemporaries that are less assertive.

Congratulations, Andrea. Well done.

After reading Andea's first book "Nonstop Networking," I was truly inspired from her first hand knowledge and real life experience. I didn't think networking could get much better, and then I picked up her next book. In "Million Dollar Networking," Andrea takes networking to a new level. Through her words, examples and real life stories it is so easy to to feel her pashion. She has mastered networking, and continues to take it to new heights. No matter what your career is, if you are looking at improving your networking then you have come to the right place. This book is a quick read with simple but very clear examples of how to improve your networking as soon as you put down the book. I have recommended this book to MANY colleagues, and I know you will enjoy it!

Andrea Nierenberg brings a winning combination of lucid insight and a warm and generous heart to the subject of networking, a subject that most people find daunting, or worse. She understands the universal wish that we all have to connect with others, and she explains to the reader how to develop the skills necessary to build a supportive community of business relationships based on profoundly human values. She is a gifted teacher, conveying her message in a friendly, down-to-earth caring manner through analysis, anecdotes, short checklists, and plenty of wit. She understands all of the challenges, and systematically and brilliantly tells you everything you need to know to become a successful networker -- and to enjoy the experience!

Andrea Nierenberg's new book is a must have for everyone's library. It is a terrific guide to the world of networking, and takes away the mystery that often stands in the way of people doing it correctly. It is easy to see why she is called the Queen of Networking. I highly recommend it.

The newly published Million Dollar Networking is a wonderful testament to Andrea Nierenberg's ability to motivate all types. I'm a good example of a seasoned professional who needs to be prodded to consistently continue my marketing efforts. Picking up her new book energized me into making calls to people from the past and thinking about what to do in the future.

Her real life stories peppered throughout the book and the apropos quotes she artfully places within it, combine to make the book an enjoyable as well as a useful book for business professional at all junctures of their career.

Three weeks ago, one of my employees gave me a copy of Million Dollar Networking...and told me it might give me some "pointers". Improving myself and my business is an ongoing challenge for me...so I took the book home and read it that night. The next morning, I started using the author's ideas in a meeting I attended here in Ft. Lauderdale. It is amazing to me how giving first, and writing three notes a day, and showing people your gratitude really make all the difference in the world. Why? Because most people don't do them! I've already met a person who works at a company that I've wanted as a client. He is helping me win the business. Thank you Ms. Nierenberg! It is a great book.
