The Ten Realizations of a Networking Ninja

by Mark Morris, James Frazier

Are you getting everything you want out of your business relationships? Do you have loyal networking partners that will go into battle to bring you new business without you even asking? Are you regularly receiving the kind of referrals you need to build loyal lifetime customers? If so, you may already be a Networking Ninja!
As the old saying says, "It's not what you know, it's who you know" that counts. And, more and more these days it's not who you know, but who knows you that can really make the difference. That is where networking skills come in. Networking picks up where traditional media, such as broadcast and print are leaving slack in the current business market. Having a strong personal network is the best way to take advantage of the greatest of all networking rewards, word of mouth. Ten Realizations of a Networking Ninja can teach you the ropes. Whether you are a rank amateur, or a seasoned veteran, there are tips here for any business networker. From how to make new contacts easily to making sure they don't forget you, to building an army for referrals, this guide has it all.
The simple philosophy embodied in this guide will lead you to ten simple realizations, some you may already know, some that may be new.
Have you realized that:
You are powerless to succeed on your own? That you need the help of others? That silence and listening are sometimes your strongest weapons? That everyone you meet has something to offer you? That you have more to offer than you think? That there is power in teamwork? That choosing the right words is a powerful skill? That the help you give to others can be more valuable than the help they give to you? That referrals are one of the most valuable methods of gaining new business? And finally, that you should be mentoring those that come behind?
Whether you are an independent business owner, sales consultant, or corporate officer at a large multinational company, using the skills of a ninja can help you leverage your network of friends and business colleagues to not only make the most of your success, but bring others along with you.
In this guide, Morris gives an in depth road map that can be followed to build a successful network from scratch, or optimize your existing personal contacts to get more, even out of relationships you might have seen no value in before.
Most importantly, his fast paced and engaging style makes perfect sense. This modern approach to an age old skill carries with it some ancient wisdom as he describes how to apply simple principles, like the golden rule, that you learned as a child, to outmaneuver even the most cut throat competitors.
Networking Ninjas are a breed apart. They operate in the creative spaces between the lines of the modern corporate structure to build relationships that can help them access tremendous resources and create powerful allies to achieve greater success than they may have ever thought possible.
As you grow to Networking Ninja mastery, you may be surprised at how easy business becomes when you learn to recognize the potential resources around you just waiting to be put to use! Where you formerly found resistance and frustration, the techniques in this book will teach you to plant powerful seeds of referral to reap massive harvests of new business and loyal allies that will go to battle for you!
Ten Realizations of a Networking Ninja is destined to become a business classic of the caliber that comes along once in a generation, but it does come with a serious warning. Do not read and apply the principles of this guide unless you are sure you are serious about exploding your personal connections and creating more success in every facet of your life than you ever thought possible.
