‘You can never have too big a network!

An essential guide for creating enduring relationships and mastering successful networking in the modern digital era.’

‘Growing a network is so important in enhancing a charity’s effectiveness. I’ve lost count of the interesting and often unexpected things that new connections have led to or that old contacts have suddenly assisted with. Written by someone who knows what works and what doesn’t, this book is stuffed full of practical advice. Networking is too important to leave to chance or to others!’
