6.5 Steps To Better Networking by Geoffrey Gitomer

Let me begin by stating that it is absolutely crucial for any blogger dreaming of even marginal success must be an avid reader. Not only a reader of his particular profession, but also that of his diametric opponent. Why? This fuels the imagination, and at the very least forces your mind to contemplate vocabulary and voice that you yourself do not employ. That being said Jeffrey Gitomers book is the fun, helpful trip through a wise old sages colorful mind.

1. Subject

Naturally, we have all been through some sort of self imposed course on how to interact with others and utilize these relationships for business purposes. However, I for one have struggled while search for a simplistic, non-verbose, book to give me a nudge every once in a while. Gitomer does a good job of engaging you, and teaching you the fundamentals of networking.

2. Structure

The book is bound in black felt, which is very fun to hold while reading. Perhaps you are like me, and even appreciate the binding, font size, and even the paper type of a given book. Gitomers book has it all. From its simple chapter and subject structure to the glossy finish and sweet smelling pages. You can easily read through his chapers, and are not struggling to finish. He even adds a red bookmark! Yes, I love the structure.

3. Content

Excellent tips and tricks for the novice and professional alike. He provides basic checklists, and quotes for your reading pleasure. Full of personal anecdotes and trite recommendations I felt as if I was reading a wise old uncles cheat sheet to business rather then a stuff biz book.

Conclusion

I can not recommend this book enough to every web series creator, and new media creator. Why? Because a very large part of our business by nature is determined through social mixers, and other events which fit perfectly alongside Gitomer’s gameplan. Its a fun and easy read, that is just as good the second time through as the first.
