"The first time I met Jan Vermeiren, I was charmed by his sincerity & drive to help people to network. Jan's vision is that networking is not about accumulating power or creating self-importance, but about helping each other by sharing, learning & supporting. In "Let's Connect!" Jan reveals tips & to do's that are very interesting to read for everyone, but more importantly he describes a different kind of networking. It's not about 'me, myself & I' - but about helping others & giving without expecting something in return."

Adult networks provide competitive advantages to any decision maker, for himself and for his company. And, if you are still in doubt: networking is about working to achieve a specific goal. Accidental one shots do not give you anything. Therefore “Let’s Connect!”’ is an indispensable guide."

“Let’s Connect!” is a remarkable and most exhaustive guide for anyone attempting to create a productive, satisfying network.

"Before I read this book I had no positive thoughts and feelings about networking. Jan Vermeiren “The Networking Coach” gave me another idea about the matter. Networking is something else than sales blah blah. His clear theories and personal story-telling style turned networking into a major added value in my life and those around me. Sharing is growing!"

Jan De Boeck, The SPEAK coach, www.improvementforyou.be

"Networking is a new art and skill and a lot of people are starting to wake up to the fact realising that it is no longer an option but an essential skill. The problem is where and who to turn to in order to learn this vital skill? Secondary schools, universities and business schools don’t even touch on it, let alone study it in depth.
Time spent with a master lecturer called Jan Vermeiren on how to network effectively will give you clarity to you in a way that illuminates the path and mental approach that is so necessary for success in this crucial activity. In addition to his obvious knowledge, it is as much his manner and nature that convinces you that this is a man worth listening to who offers a wealth of experience and simple practical steps to ensure that your networking activities bring about the results you seek."

Andrew Widgery, Ecademy Global & UK Development Manager, www.ecademy.com

"Very easy to put into practice, very smooth reading, to-the-point practical guide for anyone wanting to polish up their networking skills. The alternation of (not too dry) theory, with practical examples and concrete tips, kept me captivated as a reader. I felt that what I learned can be broadly applied to a wide range of different contacts with other people."
