Save Your Asks helps people navigate the art and science of building
mutually beneficial relationships in business.
The title is designed to address one of the biggest problems with
business networking--people ask others for too much too soon instead of
identifying the highest values they can offer to others and taking a
patient, strategic approach to networking. In Save Your Asks, Chris
Tuff features exclusive stories from interviews with some of the
country's most notable networkers, including Nike's Alex Molden and
Lydia Wickliffe Fenet, Vice President of Christie's. He's brought myriad
perspectives to the "art of the ask," spending time with pro surfer
Raimana Van Bastolear; diversity marketing consultant Kerry Klassic; and
super-connector Quincy Jones, among others.
Save Your Asks goes beyond traditional networking advice, dismissing
the events where time and money are wasted and instead focusing on the
relationships that build a lifetime of wealth. Inspired by his own
"ruthless pursuit of passions," Tuff explores how shared experiences and
vulnerability can take readers to new levels in their careers and side
hustles. It's a never-before-seen look on how to tap into the power of
people to create meaningful connections for work, life, and play.
