Customer Reviews

MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!
This is probably the best book I've read in a long time. I have something on every page highlighted. There is so much practical advice on becoming more effective at meeting people and developing meaningful relationships both professionally and personally. I highly recommend it if you are serious about becoming a better You.

Stop Networking; Start Connecting!!!
Timing is so important in life. In the last couple of months, I have been emphasizing to my professional service firm clients that the winners in this soft economy will be those who, among other things, help others prosper in these tough times. A helping hand will mean much more in these times than in the (relatively) easy days quickly disappearing in the rear view mirror.

Walla...I am walking through my favorite bookstore and George Fraser's book jumps off the shelf...right into my arms...as if to say, let me help YOU. And, that is what Fraser's book will do so well for anyone who thinks that networking is important to business success, and even life success. He will quickly convince you that networking is for minor leaguers. Major leagues connect!

And, Fraser does a superb job of sharing his philosophies on how to connect better. No rocket science here; just a book jam packed with solid ideas, all woven into a personal philosophy of service to others in which I wholeheartedly believe.

Many, many years ago, Zig Ziglar taught me "you can get whatever you want in life if you will just help enough others get what they want." I spent the ensuing years trying to learn how to live that philosophy. Fortunately, George Fraser now offers enlightened souls a wonderful roadmap as to how to make this philosophy a reality.

There are other fine books on networking, there are none better than this one. Excuse me...did I say "networking"? I should have said CONNECTING!

Bravo George Fraser. Hoping to connect with you some day, in person.

History repeats itself
In 1994, author George C. Fraser wrote a nifty little book entitled "Success Runs in Our Race: The Complete Guide to Effective Networking in the Black Community". Fraser then carved out a comfortable little niche for himself as a "Black Networking Guru".

Almost 14 years later, Fraser is expanding his horizons. "Click" is essentially a rewrite of "Success..", stripped of all Afrocentric references (the NAACP, "minority empowerment", etc) and bowdlerized for the mass market. The emphasis is still on the quality of one's relationships (as opposed to the quantity of one's relationships).

This race-neutral rewrite makes Fraser lose more than a little focus along the way. The author, though, has created quite a following over the years(not unlike say, Stephen King or Tony Robbins) and his fans will eagerly purchase his latest product offerings sight-unseen.
