5.0 out of 5 stars Smart Networking is "Smarter" than you may think, November 15, 2008

By	John W. Kercheval, III "Professor Kercheval" (Georgetown, Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought and read Liz's book (in one sitting) and, while I am not in a networking mode now nor expect to be for some time, if ever, I did find some utility in the work for myself and can certainly recommend it to others without reservation.

First it was short and to the point. Secondly, the wrap up and implementation in the last chapter would be very useful for those who wish to follow the guidelines in the former chapters. This last chapter should be used as a model for all of the self-help books genre.
Too many of such books "leave you hanging" in the end as to how to implement the advice contained therein.

What I personally found useful were the sections on electronic networking and am expanding, modifying and improving my online profiles following Liz's guidelines. Again, I am doing so without specific goals in mind, but it is very important to gain control of your online presence and Liz is an expert in that area.

In summary, Deborah Gibson has a song entitled "Can't Do It Alone" (off of the "Think with Your Heart" album , 1995, EMI Records) and a case can be made that networking is, for many people, a lifetime pursuit. For those who follow this philosophy or for who don't but are in need of networking now, this work is an essential read. How much you get out of it depends both on the level your personal networking needs and how much effort you put into following Liz's excellent and very usable advice and methodologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect if you aren't all that excited about "networking" in the first place, November 10, 2008

By	Marc Singer (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I liked the fact that this book starts with a notion that networking is a natural thing to do, not some game to play, and that you will be most successful it from a standpoint of "authenticity". It combines a combination of practical things that you think we'd all know, but don't, combined with what I thought are some very useful new ideas about using the internet in all it's forms. It's not a great book to kick back with on the beach (unless it's time to be looking for a new job), but is an excellent read if you are feeling like you've been consumed by your job and not very connected with the broader professional world. I thought it was an easy and perfect read for a three hour plane ride. Glad someone took the time to put this all in one easy to read place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and highly practical networking ideas. A must have for all business professionals., January 27, 2009

By	P. Andrew Robinson "Andy" (Naples, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Just picked up and read Liz's newest book, "Smart Networking." This is definitely one of the best (and maybe the best) book on the subject of networking that I have read. It is chock full of excellent advice, useful tips and great ideas.

The book fully integrates "Web 2.0" concepts into the art and practice of effective networking -- blogging, "eZines", social networking, and other online networking tools and platforms.

Liz takes a "process" focused view of networking -- giving you a clear road map and "how to" guide that is both informative and executable. Her book is one I will certainly keep handy, refer to often and highly recommend to my coaching clients. Thanks Liz for this wonderful resource!"
