Synopsis

You know the type: the business card pusher who corners you at events. The LinkedIn spammer who connects and immediately pitches. The "networking expert" who talks endlessly about themselves and never asks about you.

They're everywhere.

And here's the uncomfortable truth: you might be one of them without even knowing it.

"This book is spot on and is a gem full of useful nuggets. It has become the definitive guide that teaches you how NOT to network."
— Susan RoAne, Author of the 1 Million+ Bestseller How to Work a Room®

Unlike traditional networking books that tell you what to do, The World's Worst Networker takes a refreshingly different approach: learn from the absolute worst to become your absolute best.

This #1 international bestseller (top-ranked in 10 countries) exposes the networking horror stories, business networking mistakes, and bad behaviors that kill relationships and sabotage business growth — so you never make them yourself.

These mistakes were real in 2011. With the explosion of LinkedIn, social media, and virtual networking, they're more widespread today than ever.

Tim Houston teams up with 18 other networking experts — including Dr. Ivan Misner (Founder of BNI®, the world's largest referral networking organization) and Bob Burg (Co-author of the 1 million+ copy bestseller The Go-Giver) — to expose exactly how NOT to network, online and in person.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER INSIDE:

The Most Unwanted List: 11 types of toxic networkers at every business networking event — make sure you're not one of them
