Customer Reviews

A new way to network
As someone who hates to "network," I found the advice in Click to be a godsend. Click completely changed the way I think about networking--instead of approaching someone with the mentality of "what can I get out of them," you learn to approach people with the mentality of "What can I give to them? How can I make this realtionship click?" As a result, networking goes from being a self-seeking exercise to a self-enhancing one. It's truly changed the way I think when I meet people for the first time--a must read.

History repeats itself
In 1994, author George C. Fraser wrote a nifty little book entitled "Success Runs in Our Race: The Complete Guide to Effective Networking in the Black Community". Fraser then carved out a comfortable little niche for himself as a "Black Networking Guru".

Almost 14 years later, Fraser is expanding his horizons. "Click" is essentially a rewrite of "Success..", stripped of all Afrocentric references (the NAACP, "minority empowerment", etc) and bowdlerized for the mass market. The emphasis is still on the quality of one's relationships (as opposed to the quantity of one's relationships).

This race-neutral rewrite makes Fraser lose more than a little focus along the way. The author, though, has created quite a following over the years(not unlike say, Stephen King or Tony Robbins) and his fans will eagerly purchase his latest product offerings sight-unseen.

Solid fundamentals
Fraser hits the high points: be nice to everyone; be positive; see the good in people and say it. His section on holding your tongue when provoked is excellent. He quotes Sartre to great effect: "Words are loaded pistols." And he has an interesting take on your network: if you are the smartest person in it, you are building it the wrong way. Good point.
