DESCRIPTION
"Recommended: How to Sell Through Networking and Referrals" was published in July 2011 by Financial Times Prentice Hall. Here's what readers have to say about the book...TRANSCRIPT
“This book offers no nonsense,
straightforward and practical advice to any business which needs
to boost its sales.
Leads generated through referrals tend
to be the most likely to convert to business, making this book an
essential tool for any salesperson.”
Dr. Tony Alessandra, author of
Collaborative Selling and The Platinum Rule
“It's a source of inspiration.
While reading it I had to keep a notebook and pen near me as
ideas how to approach people to receive
referrals kept popping into my head
constantly.
I've read this book twice already, and I keep returning to it,
each time finding new ideas and tips to
increase number of referrals.”
Inga Deksne Motivational Coach

"Recommended is a practical guide that reinforces concepts
that, if practiced, will lead to a more focused approach in cultivating
referrals.
Andy does a great job in dispelling the myth
that salesmen need to pitch at every
opportunity, instead emphasising the role of relationship building in
strong referral generation."

“This book contains some of the best
strategies I've seen for attracting more
referred clients into your business
I've been steadily working through the techniques detailed
and have already networked my way into
several large organisations where
previously I didn't think I'd ever get a foot
in the door. ”

“This book shows you how to build a golden chain of referrals that
enable you to sell more, faster and easier
than ever before.”

“Here is the really sickening thing: the
system actually works in the real world that
exists beyond the pretty pages of a book.
I now feel sick about all the new business
opportunities that I have politely ignored
over the years.
For the continued health of any business,
this book is only as important as oxygen.”

"A powerful network is essential for
any successful business and Andy is the King of the Networking scene.
His new book is a must-read if you are
serious about building your tribe of followers
and enjoying the rewards that network can then offer you."
Rachel Elnaugh, Entrepreneur, BBCTV

Mentor
“I thought I knew quite a lot about networking
and getting referrals, but I was only a few
pages into Recommended before I realised that I'd barely scratched the surface.
I realised I'm missing lots of opportunities
and, as I get all my business from
networking (on and offline), I really started
paying serious attention!
Absolutely brilliant, Andy!”

“What’s so good about this book is that it’s
based on Andy’s own experience and
practice.
Powerful referrals are the foundation for any
successful business and this is a practical
guide to both receiving and giving high quality
introductions. Everything that Andy
has done for Big Issue Invest demonstrates
that he really walks his talk.”
Nigel Kershaw OBECEO, Big Issue Invest
Group Chairman, The Big Issue Company Ltd
“This book is excellent: it offers pragmatic and
easy to follow advice on how to be referred
and grow your business via your
network.
Andy offers refreshing advice on how to build
a solid referral strategy, how to leverage and
grow your network and how to be referred by
others in the best way. ”

“Developing your network is a pre-
requisite of any successful
businessperson.
In this book Andy delivers some tried and tested techniques that
anyone can use, to increase their sphere
of influence and ultimately the profile
of themselves as an individual or as a
business.
A must read.”

“If you are interested in generating more business for you or your company then this book is a must
read.
It's a very easy read and sets out the
strategies in a simple and easy to understand
way.
It is not full of business jargon and soundbites
but really useful and easy to implement
ideas, ideal for someone like me who
works in a industry where business jargon
is not the norm.”
