Product Description

Review

“Shows you innovative new ways of generating referrals that make getting recommended faster, cheaper and more valuable.”

PQ Magazine 01st October 2011

 

"...very valuable and in-depth guide providing useful summaries and checklists.  The book goes deeper into the nature of trust and understanding between people, which I consider essential for any meaningful endeavour, both personally and professionally."

Amanda Phillips

Head of Executive Development, IDDAS

Women in Banking and Finance Magazine

October 2011

“…appealingly written with anecdotes and stories to illustrate different points… the writing is clear, direct and active making it feel as if selling through networking and referrals is straight forward, so long as you do it well…

This was a well written book and would prove useful to professionals:

    who already use networking and want some extra ideas
    who haven't been sure how to use their networks to ask for referrals
    who previously viewed networking as a bit of a chore, handing out business cards and getting no return
    new to networking and want ideas about how to start

 I’ll give ‘Recommended’ 9 out of 10 and will use it as a regular reference for my own strategy.”

Training Zone, 21/12/2011

"Whether you are an expert networker or a novice, the book is a practical guide that will reinforce that you need to build strong relationships to generate quality referrals.  Learn from a seasoned and recognized networking expert."

Jason Jacobson, Networking Insight, March 20th 2012

Highly Recommended! 18 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Andy is Mr Networking and definitely should be listened to. His networking strategies really work.

Lots of businesses waste lots of time and money networking. They think they're doing the right thing but are so unfocused that in the end they make little progress and come away saying ' I enjoy networking but it really gets me nowhere'. Alternatively there are those people that know they need to network but dread the thought of going to a networking meeting.

If you are either of these people then this book is for tailormade for you.

Andy shows you clearly how to plan your networking, how to get others to refer you, how to get people expecting your call and most of all how to make networking profitable and enjoyable.

This book is a must read and highly RECOMMENDED.

Have you ever wondered why your networking isn't, 'working'?

Firstly, this book is written by someone who really knows, understands and excels at networking. Secondly, because of the vast amount of information crammed onto every page, it will really help you to formulate a strategy so your networking does, infact, 'work' for you.

It covers every aspect of building your network, referrals, leads, marketing, sales and how inturn, done correctly, it can and will grow your business. With friendships made and support networks formed along the way, this book explains why networking isn't always just about business!

Because consideration is given to both online and offline strategies, it becomes relevant for every type of businesses, large or small - a must read for all.

This book starts by making you realise why networking doesn't often produce the all results it should.

Indeed, early on, I got a sinking feeling that I'd wasted a lot of time networking in an ineffective way. It's a warts-and-all book: it doesn't over-promise, but instead provides an effective and practical approach to maximising the number of recommendations you want to receive.

It's well written, very well edited and very well structured - that's not always the case with business books! Early on in the book, I thought some points had been missed, but I found they were covered later on.

The Referral Book strategy towards at the end of the book is definitely a powerful way to work, and something I plan to apply. The next step would be for this approach to be developed into either a spreadsheet or some sort of CRM application.

The best business book I've read in a long time.
