What Do I Say Next? : Talking Your Way to Business and Social Success

Rating:
Summary: Good General Overview, Bad Specifics
Review: This tape tells what a good talker is, but it only has a very few specifics and even fewer examples. It almost seems like an introduction to another tape.

Rating:
Summary: Very basic and a lot of filler.
Review: This tape was a major disappointment to me. Not only were there very few tips, and unfortunately nothing new, but the author kept harping on them over and over in story after story. If these basic ideas helped some listeners, then great. But many of us have already learned and applied these lessons. The better objective is to be able to enjoy the event not just live through it!

Summary: A Must for the Reserved Networker
Review: While some of the concepts seem elementary, RoAne writes with precision and humor. This book is an excellent supplement to How to Work a Room and provides enough schmoozing ideas for the reserved networker to participate actively and enjoyably in any event. It addresses nearly all of the "what ifs" that hinder us from developing the social savvy we desire. If you genuinely enjoy people and just need a bit of hand-holding till you get the hang of small talk, this book is a wise investment.
