The Network Effect – Scott Manthorne

Build relationships
to grow your business.

“If you don’t treat your network like an asset, it won’t perform like one”

About

The Book

Inspired by the 2022 tech crash that left him unexpectedly without a job, Scott decided to use their experience and the insights of 80 executives from around the world to write a book that highlights the importance of networking and offers practical tips for success.

This book was written to help convey real-world examples of networking. Many will read this book for business advice and his hope is that it will also help to highlight new ideas.

While the term is outdated, the results are the same. It’s a skill set not taught in business school and a topic many of us “hear about” by chance. It’s complicated for many, uncomfortable for most, and something all of us need more work on.

Networking is part of our life. It drives our business success. It helps us build circles of friendships. It’s the key to finding a job. It’s useful when you want to know where to travel, what doctor to use, and how to get things done.

Fueled by over 25 years of experience in the industry, thousands of conversations, and hundreds of hosted events, the book contains stories from different experts in twenty countries. Relationships born from chance, others carefully curated with years of effort.
