As a digital marketer, I know how crucial it is to validate your message in the real world before taking it online. But as an introvert, I also know how unbearable it can be to actually work the room. Pollard’s brilliant system gives you the best of both worlds – a foolproof way to network strategically while getting your message exactly right.

Ryan Deiss

I always suggest that my students and small business clients focus on strategy in any business endeavor. When it comes to networking, though, there’s a misconception that it’s all about personality; strategy is a distant second, if it’s mentioned at all. Pollard upends this paradigm, showing that win-win networking can be systemized and mastered by even the quietest introverts. This book will help you portray the best, most confident version of yourself in the most important component of personal and business success -- effective networking.
