Nonstop Networking, is top business consultant Andrea Nierenberg’s first guide to that all important personal success strategy––relationship selling. Here she reveals her unique and easy-to-use strategies for linking-up with people in order to achieve mutual personal and professional goals. Learn twelve techniques to use when approaching a room full of strangers, master eight sure-fire communications skills, discover the types of people you need in your network (and that may already be a part of your circle of contacts.) Are you shy or introverted? Learn networking techniques that capitalize on your natural abilities. Easy to read with many examples of personal success stories throughout, Nonstop Networking is a must have for recent graduates, job seekers, career changers, consultants, entrepreneurs, or anyone with a personal or professional goal to achieve.
While this book might be a little dated, a lot of the practices are timeless and even the dated ones can be adapted to today's time (switching voicemails and letters to social media DMs and zoom calls/FaceTime). As an artist and an author I found the advice and lessons given in this book to be beneficial.
Main takeaways for me are following up with potential clients and partners through out the year, knowing the right time to network, and how to be a service to someone.
If networking is something new to you or something you never found yourself to be confident in I suggest giving this book a shot. Not only does she use tons of real life examples from her personal life, Andrea does a great job of having her warm and friendly personality embedded in every page.
