Book review - Guerrilla Networking

The title of the networking book in the Guerilla series will probably make most introverts cringe. "Guerrilla Networking: A Proven Battle Plan to Attract the Very People You Want to Meet," by Jay Conrad Levinson and Monroe Mann, conjures up frightening thoughts of calling attention to ourselves. But whether you’re networking for personal, career, or business development, the book’s message makes this a worthwhile read.

You don’t have to worry that I’ll ruin the surprise ending. The authors state their core message - Networking is not about meeting people. It’s about becoming the type of person that other people want to meet – and they state it early and often. Once that’s out of the way, they provide 50 tips on how to become that type of person, as well as lots of stories written by people who have put Guerilla Networking into practice.

Not all these tactics may work for you, but introverts will find some ways to let people know just how interesting we really are – without having to call too much attention to ourselves.
