Carol has gifted us all a substantial professional favor by creating this phenomenal roadmap for networking and business development. Her ability to create a game plan that includes the most effective strategies for skill development and implementation is abundantly valuable. A quick read with palpable ROI right at our fingertips--thank you, Carol!--Traci Ray, Executive Director, Barran Liebman LLP Networking should never be a random act of marketing but rather a targeted approach to grow the practice and client base you want. I have known Carol for twenty-five years and she is nothing if not strategic in her approach to marketing and business development! In this book, Carol nicely outlines the steps necessary to be disciplined and intentional about your networking without proscribing a one-size-fits-all approach. She provides great examples of how successful professionals have used networking and refined their approaches as their goals changed. Strategic Networking is a book that covers far more than basic networking - it covers referral source strategy, developing and executing on a plan, preparing for strategic conversations with prospects, and so much more. Those that follow Carol's advice and practical tips are sure to reap great results and personal satisfaction.--Susan Saltonstall Duncan, Founder and President, RainMaking Oasis LLC Why is networking important? Because it's the best way to build connections with people who may ultimately turn into clients. This is a must-read book for the introvert and for the extrovert because the author offers something for both: for the introvert, Carol's tips on how to create a plan to network boosts the introvert's confidence so that they can feel more at ease when networking. And for the extrovert, her tips on how to stay focused enough to create a networking plan can elevate the extrovert's networking from just having fun to creating actual networking opportunities. This book reflects not only Carol's networking experience, but that of the 35 people she interviewed in a variety of professions and industries.--Carole Levitt, Author, Internet for Lawyers
