The more and better contacts you make, the more wildly successful you will be! But times are tough. If you’re a sales rep, business owner, or job searcher you know firsthand that times are tough.

The state of growing a business, making a sale, and landing a job ain’t what it used to be. Just a few years ago, we did it all without websites, email, blogs, domain names, texting, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google pages. And yes, there was life before Facebook. Well, despite all that technology has allowed us to do, one thing hasn’t changed.

Those with the most contacts, best relationships, and greatest understanding of how to utilize them will succeed. Networking is the best way to make those contacts, develop those relationships, and achieve success. Bottom line!

So if networking is so important, why don’t more people network? Most people simply don’t know how so they fear what might happen at a networking function, cocktail party, mixer, or business meeting. Have no fear! Knock-Out Networking! is here! All the approaches and strategies you need to go to the right places, say the right things, and meet the right people are laid out in the pages of this book.

Knock-Out Networking! is based on Michael Goldberg’s proven system for attracting more prospects, more referrals, and more business to the pipeline. These proven approaches have helped thousands of sales reps, sales managers, business owners, and job searchers change the way they develop relationships. And they will do the same for you!
