Bonus offer in honor of International Networking Week

This book is a steal for the price with all the hard earned information it contains. We can all learn to work smarter in the ways we do things rather than harder swimming up the wrong streams sometimes - or forgetting to swim at all! But if you follow the link at author's website home page (www.ivanmisner.com) for a few days only during the first week of February in celebration of International Networking Week (Feb 1 - 5) you'll also get a 6 month membership to NetworkingNow as a bonus for no additional charge. Pair the book with the bonus and it's a win/win way to start off the New Year and grow your business substantially.

YOU WILL BE A PRO

If networking is part of your business and what business doesn't use networking somewhat, then you have found the right book. The explanations and suggestions are easy to understand and apply. Misner, Alexander and Hillard have done as great job with this outstanding `how to'. Add it to your business library.

More than a book: It's a Lifestyle

If you own only one book on Networking this should be the one. I was fortunate enough to receive an advance copy of this book since Dr. Misner was a guest on Being Here the Internet radio show my husband and I host, and we were delighted to read it. Ivan and his co-authors David Alexander and Brian Hilliard do a brilliant job laying out their core value that networking is not about getting leads and making contacts but about building meaningful connections. Networking Like a Pro builds upon itself with real life examples from the authors' extensive experiences. It investigates your mindset about networking, moves on to strategies, shows how to make your network work for you and then gives you the secrets of the masters. And Dr. Ivan Misner is a master. I know that readers will also really love having access to Misner's Networking Scorecard so that they can measure the results of their networking efforts. I have already loaned my copy to a friend who is new to networking and was delighted to hear that by using the tools contained in Networking Like a Pro she just booked a major job. Perhaps just as important as the new ideas you will find in Ivan's book, you will also recognize the things that you are already doing that work so that you can reinforce them and network with confidence and consistency. More than just an engaging, informative read, Networking Like a Pro is a rewarding, meaningful lifestyle. Buy this book!

Outstanding Content!

Networking like a Pro has a TON of great content for the lightly seasoned networker as well as the heavily seasoned networker. This book will walk you thru the key elements of turning your contacts into connections and provide you with a play book to ensure your success! I totally recommend this book!

I never knew how much fun Networking is

I just read "Networking like a Pro by Dr. Ivan Misner, and I've got to tell you, it really makes networking fun. I used to think it was a pain, and was not really me, but once I read how easy and natural that true networking is, then it became fun. Pick up a copy of Networking Like A Pro!
