Review
During my career I have interacted with innumerable business professionals. Sheila Savar made a lasting impression on me, because her demeanor is natural and genuine. She demonstrates that the art of being a powerful networker is just being yourself. --John Derrick, Retired Chairman and CEO, Pepco Holdings

Sheila Savar exemplifies the power of networking. As a United Way volunteer, she has used her networking skills to recruit top level executives across the Washington, D. C. metropolitan area. Her effervescent personality and savvy business know-how are evident throughout her book. It's a must-have for every business professional! --Charles W. Anderson, CEO, United Way of the National Capital Area, Washington, D.C.

Sheila Savar's focused and hands-on strategic approach in her book helped me to prioritize my networking investment in time, money and energy. Consequently, I cancelled four low-return events and will instead invest into an all Senior Executive level conference. That is how her book helped me add value to my business and to me personally. --Maria Velez de Berliner, President, Latin Intelligence Corporation.

By	Mark Wayman "The Godfather of Las Vegas" (Henderson, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. After reading 100+ networking books, what more could Sheila add? Here are my top three:

Return Every Call and Email - I have a REAL hot button on this one. Always treat the janitor the same as the CEO. It's a very small world. And as Sheila states, "it's the right thing to do."

Business Clubs - Absolutely! I am a member of the House of Blues Foundation Room and The Stirling Club. Never seen this mentioned in a networking book. Want to run with the big dogs? Show up where they run.

Community Service - Most people just want it on their resume. Very disappointing. Do it because it's the right thing to do.

Appearance - Completely agree with Sheila! There is no second chance for first impressions.

Mobile Phones - Love here comments on how unprofessional it is to walk into a room with a PDA attached to your ear. When I host private events, my first comment is "silence your phones - if it rings while I'm talking you are 86ed from the next event."

Highly recommended!
