Professionals of all stripes and ages are told to 'get out there' and network so they can build their careers, grow their businesses and/or become influential, but they are rarely taught how to actually do it.

It becomes obvious when one r

If you're seeking a funny, common sense, how-to-build-business-relationships guide, this book is for you. It was recommended in a business program and I wasn't disappointed. A quick read. Offers you solid, easy-to-implement, non-icky connecting methods for building solid long-term business relationships—unfortunately, something we're not taught in school. For example, checking your outfit in the mirror before you leave your home (i.e. to avoid those embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions at business
