Business Book Club Meetup #13 - Never Eat Alone

Hi everyone, Business Book Club Cologne Meetup #13 is on:

• Tuesday, 25.02, 19:00 @ Motel One Cologne-Neumarkt - Cäcilienstraße 32, 50667 Köln - Down in the Lobby

• OUR NEXT BOOK: *Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success *

Keith Ferrazzi is the founder and CEO of the training and con­sulting company Ferrazzi Greenlight and a contributor to Inc., the Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review. He was previously the CMO of Deloitte Consulting and of Starwood Hotels and Resorts, and the CEO of YaYa Media. He lives in Los Angeles.

Never Eat Alone: Expanded and Updated lays out the steps and mindset Ferrazzi uses to connect with thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates: people he has helped and who have helped him. This form of connecting to the world is based on generosity; Ferrazzi distinguishes gen­uine relationship-building from crude glad-handing.

These practical, proven principles include: don't keep score (make sure other people get what they want, too); 'ping' constantly (reach out to your contacts all the time - not just when you need something); never eat alone ('invisibility' is a fate worse than failure); and become the 'king of content' (use social media to make meaningful connections).

In this classic, global bestseller you'll discover the timeless strategies used by the world's most connected people, from Bill Clinton to the Dalai Lama. And you'll learn how to transform your own network, career and life.

'A step-by-step way to build relationships with anyone. The tone is engaging and the advice practical' New York Times

We look forward to your comments and many RSVP: YESSS!
