Narrated by: Sarah Knapp

How would you like to never have to engage in small talk again? Would you jump at the chance to stop having to give every conversation you have with new people CPR?

Introverts gather around! A solution to your small-talk woes is imminent. The most famous introverts in the world - among them Eleanor Roosevelt, Gandhi, and even Elon Musk - have known the secret to building connections while staying true to yourself, and now, it is your turn.

In Networking for Introverts, we will present the solution to annoying small talk with people you have just met and introduce you to the power of using vulnerability and curiosity in networking.

Networking is more than just exchanging business cards with people in the hopes they might vaguely remember you one day. It is all about enhancing your life through relationships. It may seem unlikely that introverts are actually the masters of the art of building deep connections, but you are about to learn how to leverage that natural strength.

Introverts are some of the best networkers in the world because they understand the secrets to networking through authenticity and vulnerability. Leverage the strengths your unique introvert personality brings to the room and use networking to get you further than you ever dreamed possible.

Inside Networking for Introverts, learn how to:

• Face a room full of people with confidence, even if you aren’t an extrovert by nature
• Talk to anyone at a party or function and make a deep impression without a single word of small talk
• Understand your particular brand of introversion and figure out how you can use it to your advantage
• Advance your business life and become a business leader and entrepreneur through the power of networking

Now is the time to stop seeing your natural introversion as a weakness and start seeing it as the strength that it really is. You are not hindered by your introverted nature; it is actually your superpower!

Understanding the network

Lots of info! For someone up in years it had a lot of information that helped!

Good guidance for introverts

As an introvert but not entirely anti-social, this book hits home to me.

The book opens up an insight the type of introvert I am. I can relate to many what the book says about my introversion. By knowing exactly the type of introversion, the book then guides me how I can avoid smalls talks & go straight in engaging meaningful conversation during social gatherings.

Networking for a job to me is a daunting task. Thinking about being awkward in a networking event or even sending an invite to a stranger from LinkedIn makes me frown. The author has a point. By planning ahead, setting a small goal to meet one or only few people makes the daunting idea of showing up in a networking event manageable.

Overall, I think the book gives me a new & helpful perspective of social engagement being an introvert.

Calling all Supervisors!

If you are looking for practical and actionable lessons to improve your networking skills, Networking for Introverts is the book for you! I am an extrovert, and I learned a lot from this book too. It really helped me appreciate introverts more. Daisy Myers, the author, talks quite a bit about the advantages of being an introvert. My husband is an introvert, and I wish that I had read this book years ago. I have a renewed appreciation for him now.

Calling all bosses! If you have an introvert on your team, not only should you recommend this book to them, but you should read it too. It will open your eyes to the strengths that introverts possess. I dare say that you will get several ideas to use their talents in the workplace.

One of my favorite sections of this book gives readers a list of mantras to boost self-confidence. Any recent high school or college graduate will benefit from using these. Networking isn't a skill that most people are born with. We all have to learn it to be successful in the career world.

The narrator, Sarah Knapp, does a fantastic job. She uses all of the voice actor "tricks of the trade" to keep your interest. I did notice four small production errors (repeated phrases). I can honestly say that they did not detract from the book at all.

If you want to take your networking game to the next level, I highly recommend this book. This is a book you will want to have in your library and refer to in the future. To get the most out of the book, I would recommend that you purchase the eBook along with the audiobook. That way, you can take notes in the eBook as you read.

Because there is so much actionable information in this book, I would also recommend that you listen for 30 minutes each day and take the time to digest each day's material fully. Pick one thing to practice each day. By the time you finish the book, you will have a new tool kit of ideas to improve your networking skills.

a very practical book

I picked this on up on audible to see what tips it could have for people like me, that don't really enjoy been in groups that much.

I find it very enlightening actually, and did took my pointers for future references, it's a very light book actually and it very practical I love that.

If you struggle with not being comfortable in a group or at social events and want some pointers on how to recharge later on this it's the book you need.

I really liked the book!

The part about precharging yourself before and event was meaningful. I'll have to try that before meetings and phone calls.

Bazinga

This book is not just for Introverts. I'm an ENTJ and found plenty of useful nuggets. I read this to learn a little about the introvert perspective so I can be a better leader to my team. I think this book adds value to your life especially if you are interested in networking. Tim Sanders stated, “Your network is your net worth.” The TTPs found in this book will guide you on your networking path. The narrator did a great job.

Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times. I'll update my review if I listen again. If you like this review please consider giving it a Helpful Vote below.

I requested this book from the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Great book for introverts about networking!

This was an awesome listen as an introvert. Having connections and relationships is critical in business and for your career. But Chit chatt has always been the enemy to me. Im not someone who just walks into a room and chatts with everyone. This book really helped me not feel as bad about myself and leverage my natural introvert strengths!

For Introverts

I haven't finished the whole book yet, but the first parts of the book are great so far.

Enlightening

It helped understand some things about myself. I have embraced my unique qualities, strengths and perspectives.

great suggestions

I've missed out on too many opportunities by feeling afraid or intimidated when meeting new people. I recognized that what I'd learned over years of trial and error was laid out very carefully in this book. It works.
