Nonstop Networking: How to Improve Your Life, Luck, and Career

As an entrepreneur turned professional speaker, I suddenly found myself out of the living room and into the business world. I found myself feeling uncomfortable and nervous at business networking functions. This simple yet profound book showed me how to build a network including conversation starters, mustering the courage to network, how to be a good listener, and how to organize my contacts. Now, I feel ready to network in every situtation imaginable. Andrea shows anyone how to open their heart, connect with others and build lasting relationships in business. Nonstop Networking has transformed me, a networking wallflower into a successful social butterfly. Highly Recommended! A must read for anyone serious about growing their business!

As a Career Coach and Counselor for two church groups in Southern California, I am a proponent of the networking methodology for job-search. I just finished reading Andrea Nierenberg's "Nonstop Networking" and found it an excellent guide to the whole networking scene. For sales and marketing, job-search and advancement, political and religious outreach, this is the way to make and keep contacts and cultivate lasting mutually beneficial relationships.I highly recommend this book.

Andrea's book demystifies the notion about networking that an exchanged business card and a handshake lead to immediate results. Instead, she reminds her reader that the best business is done between people that know, trust and like eachother - feelings that can only genuinely develop over time.She shares "how to" network based on personality types, interests and more, and also how to keep your network alive in practical ways.I've taken Andrea's book to heart and am having more fun than ever, building deeper and more meaningful connections, personally and professionally. This book will truly improve your life, luck and career, just as Andrea says it will!

This book kept a morning person up until after midnight reading and taking notes! It is fun, easy to digest and inspiring. It makes you want to get up and change the way you meet and deal with people in all aspects of your life.The morning after reading the book I found myself writing an infomercial, contacting people by phone or e-mail I hadn't heard from in awhile and taking steps to start a book club in my building!The book is written in a way that gives great ideas, powerful strategies for setting up and growing a personal network, yet evokes laughter along the way!It will appeal to all age groups and for people with different purposes. Andrea Nierenberg shares with her readers tons of nuggets that have made her the success she is today. Someone taking just one idea from her book will see their life change in a positive way.

Most people find it very difficult to network. Yet, networking is what gets many of us jobs, apartments, and even new friends. Networking can be as simple as your mom mentioning that a co-worker is looking for a new secretary and then putting in a good word for you. So many of us are networking and don't even realize it.As a very shy person with very little ability to be social or outgoing, I have found Andrea Nierenberg's book to be invaluable. She even has included a chapter geared especially toward introverted people in her book. After reading Andrea's book, I have used her advice to get a nicer (but cheaper) apartment by networking through co-workers and am currently being considered for a better job by using Andrea's principles at a recent pool party. Less than 2 weeks after reading Andrea's book, my life is already getting better!I highly recommend this book to everyone.
