7 Step Plan To Get Going With Networking

People often ask me how to get started with networking and what sort of skills to develop. In my experience, the best way to start networking is by taking classes that teach you concepts like public speaking, negotiation, and sales. A lot of schools have great programs these days that are available for free or under a small fee. If you want to learn networking skills, look into the following programs:

 "Teach Yourself Networking in 21 Days" -Chris Salls and Denise Fielding. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1617581038 )

 "How to Network Like a Pro" -Amy Schwartz. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0892823571 )

 "Grow Your Business with the Right Networking Skills!" -Mike Weinzettl, Esq. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0966895887 )

 "Getting to Yes: Negotiating Your Way to Riches " -Roger Fisher, William Ury. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0297730515 )

 "Leveraging Your Networking Presence: How You Can Be a More Valuable Partner" -Emily Martin. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1575595274 )

 "Social Media Marketing for Dummies, 2nd Edition" -Seth Godin. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0470336738 )

 "Social Media Marketing: An Hour a Day for Dummies" -Seth Godin. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0470342602 )

These books will help you understand the concepts of networking and how to apply them in your life. Once you know what to do, take a look at my past posts on networking for information about important events, how to prepare for them, and what you can do once you are there. Also, check out my Resources page where I have listed several other blogs that have great advice on networking.
