Informative, Actionable

The 20 Minute Networking Meeting gives the needed information, examples, and actionable step needed to perform the sometimes daunting task of networking. Because I’m not the sales-guy type, I have avoided networking. This book provides people like me (and anyone in general) an approachable strategy for networking. I am grateful and excited to get started with networking.

Excellent book! Highly recommend.

A must ready for anyone, at any level, who wants to learn how to be more comfortable, more confident, and ultimately more successful with networking meetings. This book is exactly what I needed for my job search in a new city. It helped me rethink and rework how I was handling networking conversations. The outline (objectives, timelines, examples) for each part of a meeting was incredibly helpful. I am now more focused in my preparation, clearer on what I want out of my meetings, and far more respectful of everyone's time.
