How did Joe Sweeney...
...get Bob Costas to come to Milwaukee (in the middle of winter)?
...become the "wingman" to the archbishop of New York City?
...take Brett Favre's off-the-field income from $65,000 to more than $4
million?
The answer is simple. Networking.
In this New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA TODAY
bestseller, master networker Joe Sweeney shares his networking secrets
from a long and successful career as a business owner, sports agent and
executive and investment banking consultant. His first secret: master
networkers are focused on giving, not getting.
With today's difficult economy and uncertain workplace, networking has
never been more important. Sweeney's simple but effective 5/10/15
networking plan will give you a leg up in the current job market, help
you stay employed, or, if you've been laid off, find your next job. The
cliché that who you know is more important than what you know has never
been truer. Sweeney illustrates his insights with dozens of helpful
examples from his own life (along with a few fascinating insider sports
stories).
With special sections on networking for women and minorities, insights
into the usefulness (and handicaps) of social networking sites, how to
get (and why you need) a wingman and profiles of other master
networkers, Networking Is a Contact Sport is a practical and essential
guide for anyone who wants to get ahead in today's economy.
