Summary: Masters of Networking
Review: A book full of gems created by the true masters of networking. The time is ripe for networking and Dr Ivan Misner does it again with the involvement of strong alliances sharing good practice. For key-note speakers quote from the short stories and add value to what I call the business revolution. Well done to Dr Ivan Misner and all who contributed powerful knowledge to my BNI Chapters in the UK. terry@bni.com

Summary: Learn from the "Master"
Review: Dr.Misner is the one all of us other little networkers look up to! When I was doing the research for "Networking Magic" all paths lead back to "the man" Dr Misner. This is a great book. One all networkers and want to be networkers should have in their library. After you read this one- read the others-

Summary: A Resource of Great Value, Short and Long Term
Review: For more than a decade, referral marketing has been a strong part of my business. I've done alot of reading on the topic and found Masters of Networking to be a great collection of real life experiences. It reinforced my commitment to word-of-mouth marketing and presented many new ideas. I applaud the work of Dr. Misner and Mr. Morgan, as they have put in a single document a wealth of information, in addition to the contributions they made to the book. Without question, Masters of Networking is a must read.

Summary: More like 2.5 Stars
Review: I was a little surprised that most of the chapters were about how successful networking has been for people. I already agreed that networking would be helpful, so why try to convince me? The essays were helpful to illustrate some points, but the book could have been more concise. After a while the essays became annoying as you could have substituted any name and any profession. And, if there was one more reference to BNI, I would have... I was about to give up on this book until I got to Chapter 9. There were some very helpful tips that pointed out what I was doing wrong and where I needed to improve. But as with anything, networking takes practice. I would check this out from the library before buying.

Summary: Another Misner Gem
Review: In case you haven't read any of Dr. Misner's books, this is a great place to start. Full of great stories and insights into the world of networking and word-of-mouth marketing. If you think word-of-mouth and referrals happen by accident, then you are in for a surprise. The stories presented by the contributing authors are a great testimonial to the power of developing and "working" a network. Misner and Morgan prove that they know how to network with the most powerful people in the business and motivational world--proof that networking works if you work the network. And, if you haven't read them yet, pick up Misner's first two books: "World's Best Known Marketing Secret," and "Seven Second Marketing" and learn from the master.

Summary: Masters Of Networking - It's acronym is "WOW"
Review: In today's world where everything is an acronym, Masters of Networking, with so many contributing authors is a "WOW". It doesn't matter who YOUR favorite is chances are he or she is in this fantastic book! Kudos to Ivan Misner & Don Morgan in being able to bring such a list of truly remarkable authorities, visionaries, mentors and sheer 'Powerhouses' together in this phenomenal book! This is a book that will become a reference source that you will pull off the shelf again & again. If you can't find out everything you need to know about effective 'Word-of-Mouth Marketing' or 'Networking', you must have skipped a few pages because it's 'in there'. I would venture to say you'll never see the names Naisbett, Chopra, Peters, Mackay, Hansen, Edwards, Tarkenton, Asner, Levinson, Poe and many, many more on the same cover again in this lifetime or any other lifetime! If motivational reading is a passion in your life you'll be 'extremely' passionate about this book. It's a must read for anyone in business today!

Summary: Essential Wisdom for Personal and Business Success
Review: Ivan Misner and his Business Network International organization first alerted me to the power of networking, and I have benefited greatly by using the principles outlined in his previous book "The World's Best Known Marketing Secret." Now "Masters of Networking," to which I'm proud to have been a contributor, gives you both the motivation and the how-to for becoming a master networker yourself. Read this book and use the principles that have made so many of its contributors so successful and you'll find yourself achieving your most important goals. If you have children about to head off for college or the working world, it would be hard to imagine a more helpful and practical gift!
