Description | Networkers are born, not made. That's the impression left after reading this book , in which Roane ( How To Work a Room , Warner, 1989) belabors obvious points about being seen, heard, and remembered. She may be hampered by her focus on general audiences, since books on networking within specific trades and professions could be truly valuable, as long as they listed the names of professional organizations and support groups. This book has neither. Still, for all those salespeople who need a push, this could be worthwhile reading, although most readers would probably prefer a quicker take in a business magazine article. In most cases, instinct and, for the lucky ones, a mentor are better guides. For larger business collections only.
