The original How to Connect in Business in 90 Seconds or
Less received praise such as:
“Nick Boothman’s brilliant stroke is to guarantee that
within the first 90 seconds of meeting someone you’ll be communicating like old
trusted friends. But he doesn’t stop there.
This book shows how to turn those instant connections into
long-lasting, productive business relationships.” – Marty Edelston, publisher,
BottomLine/Personal.
And: “Success in business depends on effectively
communicating ideas, at least as much as thinking them up, and Boothman tells
us how to do that.” - Matthew Bishop, The Economist.
Boothman’s message is central, and in this current business
climate, critical: whether selling, interviewing, or motivating a team, success
depends on convincing the other person – and the quickest and best way to do
that is through what he calls “rapport by design.”
Using the science of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (built
upon body language, attitude, voice, and synchronizing behaviour), Boothman
shows how to create a winning first impression and, within 90 seconds, a
lasting trust.
Then, when those 90 seconds are up, he shows how to master
the people-to-people skills that are essential to an ongoing business
relationship.
A new chapter added just for the paperback serves as a
communication primer – drawing on his years in advertising, Boothman reveals
how to make your message stand out and stick in a world that’s already glutted
with information.
