This book is for business people wanting to increase their business through referrals.
Authors Dr. Ivan Misner and Brennan Scanlon are experts in the area of business networking. Their careers have focused on teaching entrepreneurs, business owners, and sales people how to build and leverage professional referral networks. Their combined fifty years of experience and ideas have been funneled directly into this book.
In Avoiding the Networking Disconnect, they share their networking insights, providing you with stories, statistics, and strategies for creating more sales through a tried-and-true approach that champions connections rather than competition.
At the heart of this approach are the “three Rs.” Similar to the three Rs of education (reading, writing, and arithmetic), the three Rs of business networking—relationships, referrals, and results—must be consistently cultivated to avoid the networking disconnect.
The book provides you with the five steps for building and maintaining strong business networks—steps that go far beyond just showing up at events and passing out your business cards! It will take some effort, and the process won’t always flow smoothly, but with the aid of Avoiding the Networking Disconnect, you’ll soon be reaping the generous benefits of a business approach based on sharing and trust.

Great read for anyone wanting to grow their own success in business and life!
What could be better than a book that taps the wisdom of two guys who are masters of networking. This is a great book for the novice, but also powerful for the person who considers themselves a good networker. Ivan Misner and Brennan Scanlon’s voices make it clear that deep relationships are critical to success. Solid information, well delivered with practical action steps make this book an exceptional guide to building and maintaining profitable business relationships. I will definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to develop or improve their networking skills.

Implementable information
A five star review means that I love this book.Having read some of Ivan Minser’s previous book, why do I love this book?- This is an experience sharing of two people- Each one presents various facts together- The factor of networking is clearly presented as well as shown apart from BNI- Quite a lot of useful points which can be implemented right away- A smart presentation- The hardwork put in this book is basically info sharing of the experiences- Quite useful for building up the business networking attitudeI recommend

I can say it is the best book he has even written
I have read all of Dr. Misner’s books. They are all educational and beneficial, but after reading Avoiding the Networking Disconnect three times, I can say it is the best book he has even written. Learning how successful networkers build deep relationships will be your key to success.

Hay partes demasiado emocionales sobre historias de personas. Eso te puede gustar más o menos. Pero la parte e la que va desgranando la metodologÃa Givers Gain y cómo ir cultivando tu networking… Chapó. He aprendido muchos y muy interesantes trucos o, mejor aún: una filosofÃa de trabajo. “
