As my first Non-Toxic Networking gesture to you, I'd like to offer you a "no strings attached" excerpt of the book so you can check it out.
Non-Toxic Networking
Sneak Peek Edition
This is a community site devoted to networking. More specifically, it is a community for people who believe that effective networking doesn't mean being sleazy or pushy!
Non-Toxic Networking was published in March of 2008, and was inspired by the business owners that helped the author realize that she was not the only one that could use emotional bonds and meaningful connections to sign more clients, and make more friends.
Referrals come to those that give. Non-Toxic Networking teaches you to give, without giving too much. Boundaries, icebreakers, and advice are all given with a dash of humor and a pound of common sense.

If you're scared to network, if you don't like "selling" or if you have a hundred other reasons why you can't talk to people....let Non-Toxic Networking show you how to do it in a way that won't make you feel like you've sold your soul and gone to the dark side.
We take your fear of becoming a used car salesman, and help you become a master of conversation and follow-up.
