Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi

Relationship Master Reveals Secrets

After reading 10 Secrets of a Master Networker & watching Keith Ferrazzi present at Microsoft’s Small Business Summit, I was compelled to visit Borders and check out Keith Ferrazzi’s book ‘never eat alone’.

What I found was a goldmine that gives you the mindset and techniques needed to build powerful relationships that will help you make sales in short term and have a more satisfied, prosperous life in the long term.

Keith’s approach to relationship building is surprisingly simple. The table of contents gives you a window into how easy this book is to read. It delivers principles that will help you build relationships with prospects, clients, partners, employees and journalists.
A few chapters into the book, I started applying Keith’s principles. Since then I’ve noticed a dramatic increase in top of mind awareness with key influences in my market. For example, the president of an 18,000 member association is starting to recommend Volcanic to his members.

Watch the video of Keith at the Microsoft Summit. If you like what he talks about, you’ll love his book. The hardcover edition was great but I decided to also get the Audio CD edition since I spend a 5-10 hrs in my car every week. The format doesn’t matter. Just get this book. You’ll thank me for recommending it once you have built up relationships with people who are constantly trying to help you get what you want.
