Based on the philosophy of ‘giving first,’ this book is in line with the values that will help you become connected in the most powerful ways. The author reminds you throughout the book that you are not looking for business when networking; instead you are looking for relationships. When one takes this approach they become valuable members of the network, which leads to making money.

The problem is most business people, in fact, can’t bring themselves to approach it this way and, instead of being a valuable member of the network, they become a person to avoid or, at best, one to be tolerated.

This book gives excellent guidance on how to pick the networks you should work and then how to work those networks. If your business depends on you being able to connect to the community that your company serves and bring in new clients, this is an excellent book read.
