Good Title On How To Network and Be Connected November 16, 2008
Michael Taylor (Indian Trail NC)
"Little Black Book of Connections" by Jeffrey Gitomer focuses on principles and strategies for networking your way toward personal and professional success.
Among the points covered include:
1. Giving value to others is a sure way to make great connections (think of others first).
2. 17 strategies and guidelines for making connections.
3. Tips on building relationships.
4. How to win prospects and contacts at networking events.
5. How to connect at various events.
6. How to be known by others.
7. Treat others with respect and dignity - even those who cannot benefit you.
8. Secrets to making connections.
9. When connecting with others, keep in mind that they have passions - figure out how to connect with them through their passions.
10. How to maintain meaningful long-term connections.
In addition, throughout the book there are several examples of "GitBits" in which the reader goes to Gitomer's web site and enters a code to receive free information on various topics.
The only really complaint I have is that Gitomer on several occasions uses four letter words to make a point. In my humble opinion, doing so is unnecessary - just state your point and let that stand on itself. There's no need to use saucy language to try to reinforce your point.
Complaint aside, a good reference full of strategies for getting connected to others on your way to personal and professional success.
Recommended.

 Basic Networking Self-help For The Aspiring Sales Professional September 7, 2008
R. Jensen (Georgia)
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a polarizing little volume. Note that the people who review this book who like it generally put one or more exclamation points in their review titles.
This thin little tome is basically a rehash of the concepts first espoused by Norman Vincent Peale's "How to Win Friends..." many years ago, jazzed up for the new millenium.
Like others have mentioned, there is a bit of upsell pointing people to Gitomer's website, in many respects, it's a glossy infomercial.
Nonetheless, chances are you'll see someone in a suit on an airplane eagerly devouring this book. Think of this little black book as basic networking self-help for the aspiring sales professional.
