About this listen

Interested In A More Productive Network? Forget about all those networking skills ... they are of little value. Abandon the notion of accumulating all those spiffy networking techniques … they are a waste of time. You can only achieve long-term networking success through the consistent practice of Foundational Networking, which is the process of consciously building in your relationships the quintessential networking elements of “know, like and trust.” In this book, Frank Agin will guide you through this process by helping you to:

IMPROVE YOUR PRESENCE … the impression that you are optimistic, confident and approachable. ENHANCE YOUR ALTRUISM … the notion that you are predisposed to contributing to others. BOLSTER YOUR INTEGRITY … the perception that you are honorable, trustworthy and reliable.

Foundational Networking … it will revolutionize how you network.

Best guide to networking I have read

It does not matter how many times you refine your “elevator speech” if you don’t first read this book to understand at a process level how to truly approach networking as a way of life and with a purpose.

Chapter by chapter I found nuggets of wisdom that enhanced my thinking about how I approach networking in a practical way that I can make my own. It is not about technique and steps as much as it is about understanding at a process and personal level.

I think this is one of the best networking books I have read to date and will be quoting from it with my team and adding it to my must reads for new employees.

This is How Your Networking will Make Magic for You!

This book says everything we need to know about how to make networking work its magic. Mr. Agin's mix of heart, common sense, and insightful suggestions provide so many A-HA moments about how to truly enrich people's lives and propell your message forward at the same time. I especially liked the categories the author asks us to place ourselves in as networkers - I'd like to think I'm a coffee bean!

Frank's heart, integrity and expertise shines forth in every word...!!

Frank takes us back to the day: how he started in business, how he stayed in business and how he succeeded in business. Frank doesn't have "clients". He has friends and fans. I'm so glad I took the time to listen to this book. I also have the print edition. Both are well worth the price many times over.

Honest approach to professional relationship building; well worth reading!

I found "Foundational Networking" a refreshingly honest approach to professional relationship building in that it focuses on character over technique: genuine connections begin with who you are, not what you do. Author Frank Agin doesn't shy away from difficult truths, and it’s for our betterment. The chapter on Personal Accountability is particularly valuable, introducing the concept of the "Question Behind the Question" (QBQ), which was gold for me. I’ll definitely be disciplining my thoughts to ask the right questions! The practical exercises throughout the book encourage honest self-assessment and practices to help you along your foundational networking journey. At the end of the day, our action is what matters, and these exercises kickstart your growth.
For professionals seeking to build a network based on authentic relationships rather than transactional exchanges, "Foundational Networking" provides both the philosophical foundation and practical guidance to create lasting, meaningful professional connections. Extremely worth the time and attention to read it.
