Comment on Never Eat Alone: 4 Networking Tips by Marco

Hannah,

Great piece on one of my favorite business books of all times, Never Eat Alone. I especially enjoyed your emphasis on the importance of being genuine and interested in the person you are trying to connect with. There is no easier way to screw up what could be a life-long connection into something slimey and greasy than “pretending” to be interested in what the other person’s story is.

Check out this article by another one of my heroes, Seth Godin on Ted Talk Imperatives, which is just as applicable to networking!

Hey Hannah great piece, will definitely check out the book. I feel like networking has become a bit dirty and people are too aggressive in trying to scope you out to see what you can do for them…the whole “so what do you do” line comes up too quickly. I like the whole relationship thing, I guess what goes around comes around. Keep up the great work with the Fetch Hannah!

Nice — I’ll have to check that one out.

It’s interesting that you found Never Eat Alone aggressive. I thought just the opposite. I wonder if it’s a cultural thing. Overly zealous Americans!

I did read Whose Got your Back. I liked it, but didn’t enjoy it as much.

This book (and Networking Awesomely, by Colin Wright) basically summed up my networking approach. Go in it for people first, business second. I felt that some of the stuff in Never Eat Alone was a bit aggressive and icky, but it was still one of my fav books I read last year.

Have you read his follow up book, Whose got your back? I’m about half way through it and it’s pretty solid, although not the same type of info.

Good goals! I’m striving toward a lot of them as well, like saving money and watching TV less. I will make Play-Doh sculptures with you to foster our creativity
