The little black book of connection by Jeffrey Gitomer is a book written to make conscious people that built strong personal and business networks are a powerful tool to multiply their connections and business development. Jeffrey Gitomer use is humorous style to present his point and approach to the reader and is not telling what to do like most others book. It just gives you real ideas about real situation that may help you in the future.
In business and life, connection and relationships are very important. Everyone has a circle of influence which normally is your circle of trust. As Jeffrey Gitomer said at the beginning of his book, “All things being equal, people want to do business with their friends. All things being not quite so equal, people still want to do business with their friends.”
Most people and so do I know what they are capable to do, however what you know sometimes is not enough to reach your goal but books like, The little book of connection, are capable to cover that space that you don’t know and provide you with guidance in order to be success in what you want.
First of all, I consider The 17.5 strategies, guidelines, and rules of connecting as well as the ‘how-to’’ of networking, important enough to take a look of them and implement them. Some of them are already implemented on me thanks of my parents. However, there is one aspect, maybe a little bit obvious but no less important, which is believed in yourself, be confident. No matter what happen always believes in you and do everything to reach your belief.
Started from know, I will form a circle of trust and make the one that I have known much more strong and as Gitomer said I am an International Student from Chile and the fact of being here studying at a university in the United States opens a world of opportunities to create connection and make strong relation among my friends, professors or people in general which in the future could be part of a business.
