The sequel to Pollard’s international bestseller The Introvert’s Edge: How the Quiet and Shy Can Outsell Anyone, selected by BookAuthority as the #2 “Best Introvert Book of All Time” and listed by HubSpot as one of the “Most Highly-Rated Sales Books of All Time.” Introverts across the world have been sold a lie: One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the “gift-of-gab.” This is nonsense. You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all. The truth is, introverts make the best networkers . . . when armed with a plan that lets them be their authentic selves. Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking. In this paradigm-shifting book, you’ll discover how to: Overcome your fear and discomfort when networking Turn networking into a repeatable system Leverage your innate introverted strengths Target and connect with top influencers Leverage the power of virtual and social networking Whether you’re a small business owner struggling to make a living or a professional who’s hit a career plateau, The Introvert’s Edge to Networking is your path to a higher income and a rolodex of powerful connections. Review: ‘Trust in yourself, trust in your abilities, trust in my system and transform your life’ - Australian author Matthew Pollard, aka ‘the Rapid Growth Guy,’ is a serial entrepreneur, international speaker, coach, consultant, and author who is reportedly revolutionizing the world of business. His specialties include telecommunications and creating a sales method for Pollard Institute. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Small Business Festival. THE INTROVERT’S EDGE TO NETWORKING is his second book – the first being THE INTROVERT’S EDGE: HOW THE QUIET AND SHY CAN OUTSELL ANYONE. From the titles of Mathew’s two books it is hinted that at one point in time the author was an introvert, a fact that he shares in his About the Author at the end of his book. As he states there, ‘Today, I’m on a mission. A mission to help introverts like us realize that we don’t have to be (or pretend to be) extroverts. That our path to success is different. When we embrace that, while leveraging the power of systemization, we find our edge, we make our own luck, and we realize our dreams.’ Matthew’s technique of writing mirrors his skills in networking: he warmly reassures the reader that the brouhaha of extroverts is an unnecessary trait for networking success. With a supportive ‘arm around the shoulder’ atmosphere he underscores the truly important aspects of ‘networking’ – being prepared before entering ‘the room,’ active listening, maintaining curiosity, inviting conversations, the ‘do what you love and love what you do’ mindset, learning to tell stories, etc…skills that focus of being your transparent, authentic self. If the above sounds impossibly naïve, then read and absorb this excellent book and discover the system Matthew Pollard has created that has improved the lives and success of many. The system - an actionable blueprint for working the room, leveraging social media, and cultivating powerful connections. This is a very impressive, even stupefying book. Very highly recommended. Grady Harp, May 21 Review: An absolutely necessary read for introverts who've failed at networking in the past - For mote than the three decades I've run a solo environmental consultancy I failed at networking. Yes, I'd pay to go to an event, but had no idea what to do while there. Last year I was scheduled to give a presentation at a large industry annual conference which also had networking opportunities (of which I failed to take advantage in prior years.) A couple of weeks before the conference I learned about Matthew Pollard and ordered this book. It arrived 5 days before the conference and I quickly read how to introduce myself and hold a conversation with people I didn't know. I made several good contacts during the conference and now look for other in-person networking events where I can hone what I've learned about networking. Now I'm re-reading the book from front to back to pick up all I missed when I rushed to learn how to change my actions in networking events. My only regret is that this knowledge was not available to me many years ago. Very highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #142,097 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #131 in Sales & Selling (Books) #310 in Communication Skills | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 459 Reviews | ## Images ![The Introvert’s Edge to Networking: Work the Room.

Matthew Pollard shows us how to articulate our value in a well-structured way that makes us stand out. Matthew advises that we should “own who you are, your uniqueness, your passions, and stories.” Pollard refers to your passion as your “superpower” that will drive you. This is something that gives you energy (rather than drains it). Throughout his book, Matthew asks questions that are designed to encourage us to dig deeper into what we really want our lives to be like. Discovering who we are and what we are passionate about is the key to living our best lives. *What sparks excitement in you? *What are you passionate about? *Do you know your mission in life? *What do you want to see happen in the world? *Why do you care? *Is there any personal connection? *What do you get your greatest joy from? *When are you doing what tasks and time flies for you? *What do you hate seeing happen? *What do you love seeing happen? *Which are your favorite types of problems to solve? *How can you make that relevant to what you do? *What do you provide that no other person does for their audience? Matthew’s #1 rule in networking is that it is not about you! Ask others what they are excited about. If you are looking to live your best life, then you need to read this book. Matthew shows you how! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Introvert’s Edge to Networking: Work the Room. Leverage Social Media.
