About this listen
One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the “gift-of-gab”. You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all.
The truth is that when introverts are armed with a plan that lets them be their authentic selves, they make the best networkers.
Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking. A sequel to Pollard’s international bestseller The Introvert’s Edge: How the Quiet and Shy Can Outsell Anyone, this book masterfully confronts the stigma around the so-called extroverted arena of networking.
In The Introvert’s Edge to Networking, you’ll discover how to:
- Overcome your fear and discomfort when networking
- Turn networking into a repeatable system
- Leverage your innate introverted strengths
- Target and connect with top influencers
- Leverage the power of virtual and social networking
The introvert’s roadmap to success doesn’t look like the extroverts, we’re different and we should embrace that.
Whether you’re a small business owner struggling to make a living or a professional who’s hit a career plateau, The Introvert’s Edge to Networking is your path to a higher income and a rolodex of powerful connections.

Amazing Resource
What an amazing Networking resource, especially for introverts like myself.
Networking is not something that comes naturally to me.
Matthew Pollard's step-by-step process takes us precisely but gently through an activity that all business people must do to survive, however for introverts we are extremely fearful to do.
A must-read for extroverts and introverts alike.

Highly recommended for introverted business owners
As an introverted business owner and sales trainer, I can attest that every one of Matthew Pollard's steps for networking works. Although I consider myself a seasoned networker, I learned many new ways to approach functions that align with my values and personality.
Pollard breaks down his networking system step-by-step, providing a clear framework to follow. In addition, he has laced the book with success stories that flesh out the intstructions. Not only does this make the book an easier read - it provides tangible proof that the system can work for the reader!
I would highly recommend The Introvert's Edge to Networking for any business owner or sales professional. The lessons you will learn from this book could transform your career!

If you are introvert
If you are introvert you just need to plan ahead, practice scenarios and do a lot of home works before any networking event.
