It approaches what many consider a very challenging undertaking with a set of quickly grasped, easily applied techniques that can provide immediate returns. This straightforward book can be read and implemented in the same day! The author is an accomplished networking professional whose eagerness to share what he has learned comes through in a conversational, coaching tone. The Great Game of Networking provides strategies for both the novice getting started and an advanced section to help those who have been networking for any amount of time leverage their efforts. Guaranteed!
