Summary: Character and Competence are the key to Successful Networking
Date: 2008-10-23 -
Comment: Anne and Lynne present the importance of networking in today's corporate world by teaching that networking is more than handing out your business card. By teaching people about your Character and your Competence, you will build a relationship. Your "Contacts" will "Count".
The book starts from Assessing your skills then to presenting the benefits of Networking.
Then step by step, it teaches you how to build a relationship, a connection with your contacts so that they think about you when the need arises for someone in your field.
Buy it! It is worth it.
Summary: Networking Bible
Date: 2008-06-29 -
Comment: In "Make Your Contacts Count," Lynne Waymon and Anne Baber have created a networking bible for today's professionals - in any profession or life stage. Reading chapter after chapter, I was able to identify both short and long term strategies to build and nurture my network. In addition, I was struck by the number of practical, simple tips which can be easily learned and practiced in all my interactions - professional and personal. The book provides current real life examples, as well as theory behind authors' recommendations. As a baby boomer with over 30 years of professional experience, networking was something for sales and marketing types. Professionals in private practice or business - lawyers, accountants, consultants - called it rainmaking. For most of us, it was something we only thought about when we were job searching. While job searching is addressed in one chapter, the book is really about how to build relationships - six stages described and how to strengthen. I'm convinced ..... networking is the essential career survival tactic and a core competency for today's leaders.
Summary: One more voice of approval for the chorus
Date: 2007-09-17 -
Comment: As a career counselor, I spend a lot of time and energy persuading clients to network who are not naturally good at it. Now I can make better use of my time by recommending this book. There is something for everyone's risk level. No reader can walk away unchanged after perusing this book.
Summary: The Essential Book on Networking
Date: 2007-08-27 -
Comment: This new edition of Making Your Contacts Count hits the bullseye. The authors state that networking is the essential professional competency in today's business world. Clearly, this book is the essential guide to ramping up your networking skills. Making Your Contacts Count provides substantial practical actions. For instance, strategic advice like how to plan your "agenda" for conversations is interspersed with tips like how to remember names(ex. repeat the first name and introduce that person to someone else..it works!) In our study of organizational success, Shaping Your HR Role: Succeeding in Today's Organizations we found that effective networking was a tactic often used by those who achieve results. I recommend this guide to all people who need to influence others in today's complex organizations.

Comment: I just finished reading "Make Your Contacts Count, Networking Know-How for Business and Career Success," by Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon and it is a must-read for anyone who wants to be successful in the business world.
"Contacts Count," gives you all the tools you need in an easy-to-use manner to get out there and become successful in the business networking arena.
I have already started using some of the techniques that Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon share in their book and I am finding that it is easier to describe my business and my value to others.
