Do you want to advance in your career?
Climb up the success ladder for yourself?
Master networker Keith Ferrazzi says that interacting with others is the key to success. Ferrazzi learned early in life that the way highly successful individuals utilize connections to their advantage is what sets them apart from everyone else.
Ferrazzi describes in Never Eat Alone the precise procedures—as well as his mentality—that he employs to establish connections with the thousands of coworkers, friends, and acquaintances on his Rolodex, individuals who have helped him and who have assisted him.
Born from a modest family of steelworkers and housekeepers, Ferrazzi first used his exceptional interpersonal skills to get admission to Yale on a scholarship, an MBA from Harvard, and many managerial positions. He was chosen as a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the Davos World Economic Forum and named one of Crain's 40 Under 40 after he established a network of connections that spanned from Hollywood's A-list to Washington's halls of power. He was still in his thirties.
Helping friends connect with other friends is the foundation of Ferrazzi's connection to the globe. Ferrazzi makes a distinction between true relationship-building and the crass, frantic glad-handling that is often connected to the term "networking." He then condenses his approach to human outreach into doable, proven ideas. Between them:
It's never just about obtaining what you want, so don't keep score. It's about achieving your goals and ensuring that others who have special meaning for you also achieve theirs.
"Ping" continuously: The benefits and drawbacks of staying in touch with people in your network on a regular basis, rather than just when you're in need.
Never dine by yourself: "Invisibility" is a destiny worse than failure since status dynamics remain the same whether you're a corporate employee or at a social gathering.
Throughout the book, Ferrazzi lists the timeless techniques that the most influential people in the world—from Bill Clinton to Vernon Jordan to the Dalai Lama—shared.
Chock full of specific advice on handling rejection, getting past gatekeepers, becoming a “conference commando,” and more, Never Eat Alone is destined to take its place alongside How to Win Friends and Influence People as an inspirational classic.
