Blueprints for Success: Networking
If there is one common thread that runs through business networking groups then that thread seems to be people attending the meetings without really understanding how to use them to their advantage. This is true whether it is a professional networking group, chamber of commerce group, or just ad hoc networking opportunity. Filling this information gap between just attending a meeting and using it to successfully network is what this book is about. Inside are 150 specific tips and pieces of advice to help move you from just another person seeking to get your business card into as many hands as possible to one of the few that actually establish a network of referral sources. Some of the advice is very general in nature but others are very specific. For example, some of the topics include questions to ask, how to collect business cards, evaluating a group to find quality groups, reasons to join a group, the best alliances to make, drawing the line in an alliance, speaking engagements, getting to the right people, business card marketing, and press releases. “Blueprints for Success: Networking” is a highly recommended book and an excellent source of advice on how to network successfully.
