A proven step-by-step approach to leveraging the unique power of relationships to your best business advantage.

Our professional relationships are the most important asset we have when it comes to growing our careers and our businesses. Most people think of this as “networking.” But in today’s hyperconnected market, the most cost-effective and high-return route to new, repeat, and referral business is through our existing networks, not through adding more social media “friends” and “connections.” This transformative guide from relationship marketing expert Zvi Band shows you how to deepen your personal connections to achieve your professional goals―using the CAPITAL strategy of relationship-building techniques:

• Consistency: develop good habits to form stronger relationships
• Aggregate: build a personal database of professional contacts
• Prioritize: order your network based on who can help
• Investigate: collect intelligence on the people who are most important to you
• Timely Engagement: create a steady cadence in your outreach
• Adding Value: offer more than a simple follow-up
• Leverage: execute more effectively

The basic idea behind these powerful tools is simple: Effective relationship building is not about acquiring new contacts. It’s about strengthening your connections with the key people who will help you drive your business forward. Through a combination of personal research, best practices, and case studies, Band provides a prescriptive strategy you can customize and follow every day. You’ll find cost-effective, high-yield tools that can be implemented via social media and other digital platforms. You’ll discover the best-kept secrets of the most popular companies in the world―and time-saving techniques for achieving similar results with your own customers. Most important, you can make the most of what you already have: the simple human connections that make everything worthwhile.

In business, as in life, it all comes down to the quality of your relationships. When the right people are on your side, Success Is in Your Sphere.

I'll be honest - I opened this book expecting to skim it and maybe pick up a couple tips. I'm an engineer, not a realtor or a salesperson - I didn't think I'd need this book. But somewhere around chapter 4 where the author introduces his CAPITAL method, I got hooked and found myself returning to the beginning to read it cover to cover. What I found was one of the most actionable and relevant books I've ever read. Relationships are important for everyone, in any industry and in any role, and this book makes the case in convincing fashion. The book does not preach, and the author insists that the chapters are simply "ingredients" for the reader to put together based on what's relevant to them. The stories are compelling and counterintuitive. One of my favorites: the college freshman who somehow finds a way to introduce an NFL running back to NBA legend Michael Jordan, despite not having any prior relationship. The lesson there: when building a relationship, you can find a way to add value to literally anyone, even those who seemingly have it all. I highly recommend this book and plan to return to it frequently as my career progresses.

Working in sales can be tremendously rewarding and daunting at the same time. The need to service your existing clients, book new deals, and find new leads can be overwhelming. Zvi provides concrete examples of how to manage your time, how to lean on your contacts for more business, and provides personal examples of follow up strategies that make you stand out from the rest of the pack.

I implemented what I am calling the "basketball follow up" last week, and it was incredible well received. If you are looking for tangible actions you can take to increase your business, this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Guide to Developing and Maintaining Relationships
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019
It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate your product or service from your competitors based on content or physical appearance/attributes. If you are going to win and keep clients/customers, you need some way to distinguish your company from your competitor. The quickest and easiest way is by leveraging the power of relationships.

Zvi Band, author of Success is in Your Sphere, has written a comprehensive guide to help you achieve your business goals using the power of relationships.

The book is based largely on his personal journey but he also shares the success stories of many other companies which have used the same process to build their business.

The book is easy to read, straightforward and gives valuable, actionable steps to help the reader implement the ideas shared in this book.

The author created a consulting company and software to help businesses develop, maintain and strengthen relationships. He frequently cites how valuable this has been to him and his clients.

Well written, well organized, with plenty of real world examples.

I was provided a review copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Step-by-Step Guide to Meaningful Relationships
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019

Success Is in Your Sphere presents a no-fail way to develop positive, fruitful professional relationships. Through his direct, breezy style, Zvi breaks down the abstract concept of what defines a beneficial relationship into its key components and gives practical steps for each. As an introvert, I appreciated the simple and repeatable advice that would help me get over my initial hesitancy to reach out. I've already applied some of the concepts (particularly on timely engagement) to produce new contacts I otherwise wouldn't have engaged.

A great read for anyone who depends on relationships to build their career (which is increasingly all of us).

I've built my career in sales around the simple philosophy that building relationships, solving problems and having fun is what it's all about. This book by Zvi Band is the perfect outline on how to do the first part - building relationships - and much of the strategy and tactics he shares through examples or anecdotes throughout the book show how you can easily "solve problems" along the way. The great part about the way Zvi writes, it's you can tell that he is "having fun" sharing these ideas and stories with the readers because he knows they are going to work.

Pick up a copy of Success is in Your Sphere and follow the ideas, instructions, and inspiration inside and you're sure to have more success earning the trust needed from your sphere of influence to close more deals and capture more referrals.

Reading Zvi's story of an introvert acquiring success from from relationships and building a whole system around it made me feel less alone. As an introvert myself, it gave me the confidence to start my journey in relationship building and networking with a step by step game plan as well! Great read, definitely coming back to it in every once in a while to review.

Zvi did a fabulous job of outlining strategies to build, maintain, and solicit value from your network. I really appreciated how he broke things down so that networking won't take over your entire life - it's a means to an end, not an end in itself.

Even if you are already actively investing in your personal and professional relationships to grow your business, you will extract a ton of value from this fantastic book on the subject. It’s packed with a ton of very practical tips, tools and resources to enable you to build and maintain strong relationships in an efficient, yet personalized way that seeks to provide value at every touch. Zvi also continually identifies the barriers (mental and contextual) that may get in your way, providing practical advice and tools on how to identify and overcome them. Zvi’s humble and accessible voice, combined with a diverse array of stories from his own experience and a curated group of experts in this space, make this book as engaging as it is informative. I’d highly recommend this book no matter what industry you’re in – as, fundamentally, we’re all people working with people.

A good family member had nudged me to check it out and I see why! I've read a bunch of the standard 'what to read for entrepreneur' books over the years but I truly believe this one has taken a much more modern approach, making the information way more useful and practical then others. The mindset / lessons taught here on how technology is only as helpful as the relationships we build and connect around it is impactful, to say the least!
