Helpful

I found this book good. I can improve myself by using the ideas shared. The author has narrated the book with good energy and passion. I believe it would have been more useful if there were more real life examples and stories on the topic.

Sorted some long pending doubts on networking

very simple but useful thoughts. essential reading for entrepreneurs. I tried the audiobook version. heard it two times :)

Good story, could use some polish.

If you want to learn about networking in the 21st century then I do suggest you read this book. However here's what I learned that David Fisher may not have intended. Lists don't work nearly as well in audio books as they do in print. In my mind at least they're annoying and detract from the flow and message. Also authors, even ones with speaking experience should consider using a professional reader to ensure that every important word is enunciated clearly and not rushed.

I’ve Learned a Few New Things

This book was very informative and gave me a few ideas to improve my networking attempts.

It Was Ok

The information was good but the narrator didn't motivate me to finish the book. I usually get motivated by these kind of books but the tone in which it was read made it boring🤷🏾‍♀️.

Lots of AH-HA moments!

If you could sum up Networking in the 21st Century in three words, what would they be?

Easy To Follow. Fisher's perspective on successful networking offers simple actions that make a big impact on building solid relationships. Not only in business, but life in general - cliche I know, but true to the core.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Networking in the 21st Century?

One "ah-ha" moment that stands out the most was Fisher's technique on how to politely end a conversation with someone at a networking event. Brilliant!

Any additional comments?
