How many times in your life do you get the opportunity to work with or learn from the best in the world? Masters of Networking has gathered the top experts in the world on the subject matter of Networking, Word-of-Mouth Marketing and Referrals and put them in this one book. What I really enjoyed about this book was the variety of stories. Some are as short as one page. Some will make you laugh and some will make you look deeper at yourself. If you are seriously interested in growing your referral business there is no better book out in the marketplace that can give you so much wonderful advice from so many bright, experienced and successful people. Dr. Misner and Mr. Morgan, thank you for a book that can be read by the brand new business professional and the 40 year veteran. Don't just get this book...get this book for a friend.

If you think word-of-mouth and referrals happen by accident, then you are in for a surprise. The stories presented by the contributing authors are a great testimonial to the power of developing and "working" a network.

In today's world where everything is an acronym, Masters of Networking, with so many contributing authors is a "WOW". It doesn't matter who YOUR favorite is chances are he or she is in this fantastic book! Kudos to Ivan Misner & Don Morgan in being able to bring such a list of truly remarkable authorities, visionaries, mentors and sheer 'Powerhouses' together in this phenomenal book! This is a book that will become a reference source that you will pull off the shelf again & again. If you can't find out everything you need to know about effective 'Word-of-Mouth Marketing' or 'Networking', you must have skipped a few pages because it's 'in there'. I would venture to say you'll never see the names Naisbett, Chopra, Peters, Mackay, Hansen, Edwards, Tarkenton, Asner, Levinson, Poe and many, many more on the same cover again in this lifetime or any other lifetime! If motivational reading is a passion in your life you'll be 'extremely' passionate about this book. It's a must read for anyone in business today!

Ivan Misner and his Business Network International organization first alerted me to the power of networking, and I have benefited greatly by using the principles outlined in his previous book "The World's Best Known Marketing Secret." Now "Masters of Networking," to which I'm proud to have been a contributor, gives you both the motivation and the how-to for becoming a master networker yourself. Read this book and use the principles that have made so many of its contributors so successful and you'll find yourself achieving your most important goals. If you have children about to head off for college or the working world, it would be hard to imagine a more helpful and practical gift!
