He is also the author of The Master Networker’s Manual, available on the FNI Website and www.Amazon.com This book is a manual. It is a step by step system to achieve any imaginable goal or dream through business networking.
Most books on networking emphasize being more “interesting” and at first glance this seems to make sense. You go networking to be so interesting that people you meet will want to buy your product or service. However they aren’t there to buy any product or service and they don’t REALLY care what you do.
The secret key is that you have to take responsibility for getting them to care about what you do. If you persist in being a walking advertisement, you are just causing them to shut the door, more, regarding their interest in your product or service!
How do you get them to WANT to go out of their way to help YOU advance your business and dream? How can you do this with everyone in about 20 minutes? How can you have unlimited people wanting to invest their time and energy in helping YOU?
The answers ARE in this manual of master networking.
