Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time
Keith Ferrazzi, Tahl Raz
Rating: 5.0/5 Stars
Rank: 59
From Booklist Ferrazzi grew up in rural Pennsylvania, the son of a steelworker and a
cleaning lady, yet his ability to connect with others led to a scholarship
at Yale, a Harvard MBA, and a prestigious partnership at Deloitte
Consulting.
His skills at creating and maintaining a network of contacts
are nothing short of those of a serious presidential contender.
All
business hopefuls seek to enter a sphere of players more powerful than
themselves, and Ferrazzi says that sometimes all it takes is asking.
The
book is dense with suggestions. Seek out mentors to guide you and
introduce you to the people you need to know and then become a mentor
yourself.
Use your initial conversation to show the other person what you
have to offer them, and never keep score.
Make others feel important by
remembering their names and birthdays. And don't be afraid to open up and
show vulnerability--it's a great icebreaker.
Ferrazzi presents a whirlwind
of ideas to widen your circle of contacts that goes way beyond the usual
stale concepts of "networking." David Siegfried Copyright
