Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. This guide to networking by Misner, the founder and chairman of BNI (Business Network International), is an invaluable roadmap for businesspeople seeking to develop or fine-tune a necessary and often overlooked skill. Misner and Donovan's title stems from a study that spawned the six degrees of separation theory, which actually revealed that only 29% of the population is connected to this extent. The authors say that despite its proven necessity, networking is scarcely taught in business schools, and their self-study course aims to fill the void with a self-assessment test and 52 weeks of assignments to beef up networking skills. Accessible and smartly structured chapters include action items and helpful tidbits like worksheets, assessments and questions to help readers schedule their networking from day to day and over the course of a career, from setting preliminary goals to becoming a Networking Mentor. While readers might not be able to make it into the exclusive ranks of the highly connected 29%, they will assuredly derive new tactics, tools and motivation. (Sept.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncommon Application to Common Knowledge =29% Solution! A Must Read to Understand & Succeed In Today's Business Environment!, July 25, 2008
By Mike L. Coy (AUSTIN, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr.Misner understands the concept of;"Just because you hit the car in front of you..it doesn't mean that you are connected"! Connecting with people..reaching networking success takes effort and a plan. The 29% Solution offers both. There's no "magic pill" when it comes to networking & referral marketing...it's a process Dr. Misner explains like no other.
