The Little Black Book of Connections is based on the power of give value first. It's about how you can climb the ladder without stepping on people's backs.

The four-color text graphics makes it attractive and easy to read the compelling content is easy to understand and implement. Networking Your Way To The Obvious.... | Customer Rating: | This is more like a refresher course on things you already know but in a comical sort of way, think about this, at the very beginning of the book the author says "Personally, I can remember numbers from 40 years ago, but I can't remember numbers from yesterday", I immediately knew this thing was going to be of no value what so ever considering the nifty title he gave it. I personally did not find any new useful information here regarding how to connect/network with potential clients and certainly nothing I haven't tried already that came naturally or by applying common sense.
Giving the book the benefit of the doubt, decided to read the entire thing and found mostly, strategically place "Git-Bits" keywords throughout the book constantly leading you to Mr. Gitomer's website for additional info related to that keyword and of course.....you guess it, making you register so you can be pitched more of his questionable products through email newsletters, while also receiving actual pictures of him and his friends like they are family to you personally. They're connecting alright, It's a complete joke....lol. Keep in mind that during the entire time, you still looking to learn something about "connecting". I wouldn't be surprise to learn that these positive reviews are all coming from friends and family to help out, you'll feel very suspicious after reading this book.
As to the topic at hand, the book is actually filled with his personal experiences for the most part, felt like he was regurgitating other notable authors in the process like Dale Cargenie comes to mind, but in realilty, nothing here you haven't heard before, the goal here is to make you feel like it's all a sudden revelation, but in a gimmicky kind of way, not to mention the book looks and reads like a comic book, Also notice that people reading these bad reviews don't seem to find it useful, as you can tell, but beware, that may be a smokescreen to hide the fact that the book it's really awful.
Conclusion: Save your money and try previewing it in your local library, not worth adding to your networking/sales resource library. Good Luck. | Overrated... | Customer Rating: | | As I was reading this book, i kept waiting to get some real value out of it. It just seemed to go on and on with no real direction or purpose. Ironic, since Gitomer says you need to offer value to others in order to connect. The repetition and lack of focus lead you to wonder if you actually learned anything at all after reading it. Actually, I was thinking that as I was reading it. Anyway, the book just keeps repeating itself and doesn't seem to go anywhere. Just read pages 25-31, the "Rules of Connecting", and you're finished. Nice packaging though... | Great networking book! | Customer Rating: | | This book is one of the best networking books on the market! Jeffrey's unique charisma, his trademark style, the excellent graphic and the valuable information, make this book a great networking tool. Recomended! | Unique and Informative! | Customer Rating: | | This is a good read for anyone with a large contact list and doing nothing productive with it. Get it and apply what he suggests, it will make a difference in how you network, connect and retain quality relationships. | The BEST Networking and BUSINESS SUCCESS Book EVER!!!!!!! | Customer Rating: | | What a great book!! It's an enjoyably EASY book to read. A Real page turner.... The large print really grabs your attention. I bought 100 of these books to give to every person I came across in business. Its helped me tremendously in a profound way....YOU MUST READ THIS IF YOU DESIRE WEALTH AND FRIENDSHIP IN LIFE !!!! |
