Readers will discover positive ways to network anywhere, any time and the secret of how to build relationships that will improve their life, luck, and career. Learn twelve techniques to use when approaching a room full of strangers, master eight sure-fire communications skills, discover the types of people you need in your network (and that may already be a part of your circle of contacts.)

This book was helpful for me because I have always been afraid of the work networking. I always felt like I had to go out and sell myself. But this book really focuses on the building or mutually beneficial relationships. It was published in 2002 so it is a little outdated, but I am going to read "The Networking Survival Guide" which was published in 2010 to see if this gives more up to date advice on contacting people. I am not sure if people really still send hand written notes and whether they value these as much as they used to.

It is a helpful book though to help you know how to build and maintain relationships.
