Book Description

Bestselling author Harvey Mackay reveals his techniques for the most essential tool in business--networking, the indispensable art of building contacts.

What kinds of networks exist
How to start a network, and how to wring the most from it
The smart way to downsize your list--who to keep, who to dump
How to keep track of favors done and favors owed--Is it my lunch or yours?
What you can do if you are not good at small talk

Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty is a must for anyone who wants to get ahead by reaching out.

5 out of 5 stars Networking Leads To Opportunity.......2007-05-15

Harvey Mackay is a master of networking. All of his books stress the importance of professionals focusing on how to make, keep and grow their business relationships.....in this book it the the whole enchillada.

Although I read the book years ago, it is still a wonderful reference for me, now that I speak on the topic. I have learned much from Mr. Mackay, and this book is a must read for anyone who wants to make networking a higher priority.

5 out of 5 stars You will love this book as a networking beginner.......2007-04-30

I have to say, although I have gotten my Ph.D. degree in computer science and have worked around 3 years, I am a beginner in term of networkig (not the computer network). As a beginner, I really love this book because it answers the following questions using real and good stories:

1. What is the network.
2. Who should be in the network.
3. How to meet a new people and make him/her part of your network.
4. How to let others to remember you.
5. Where to start your networking.
6. How to keep your network.

I really enjoy it.

4 out of 5 stars Overall pretty good, just a little too much fluff.......2007-04-13

Overall pretty good, just a little too much fluff. The book in made up of about a 100 short stories about good and bad networking tips. About 70% is pretty good, while the other 30% is fluff. Still a good read.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Read.......2007-01-06

This book demonstrates the power of networking. This book is great. It is not the most intersting or entertaining book, but the concept and value of networking is demonstrated at length and very well. This is a must read for any business professional. Its a little old, but still well worth the read and the ideas still apply to the current business world. At times, the ideas and concepts can be a little over the top, but the overall jist of the thing I guarantee will pay dividends later in your career.

3 out of 5 stars Wonderful but not as good as his other books.......2006-11-13

Harvey Mackey is a great writer who usually explains extremely helpful ways to become better in business. Especially because his options are very practical and easily implemented. However this book was more anecdotal and not as easy to implement. He basically says get a rolodex, and be nice to everyone. If you want more useful tips for Networking, look elsewhere.
