http://tvh.disqus.com/The Virtual Handshake: Sell, Raise Capital, Look for Deals with Social MediaenSun, 20 Sep 2009 18:46:03 -0000http://www.thevirtualhandshake.com/blog/2006/02/26/pull-networking-and-success-since-benjamin-franklin#comment-16998041<p>I have read the interview with Pamela, Walker Laird by David Teten. I found it very interesting and informative. I think the title for her book is appropriate. Benjamin Franklin is a guy many people would call successful and self-made. I loved this excerpt from the interview, "But real business is a social process. Learning the trade, getting leads, making connections, closing deals, getting promotions: they all require social interactions. It is not enough to “know” your trade. Moreover, how can you learn a trade and perform it in isolation?" </p>Zan2238Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:46:03 -0000http://www.thevirtualhandshake.com/blog/2006/02/26/pull-networking-and-success-since-benjamin-franklin#comment-8724012<p>Its a very fine collaborative platform lead directly towards success.</p>Frank fernandisMon, 02 Jul 2007 02:13:43 -0000http://www.thevirtualhandshake.com/blog/2006/02/26/pull-networking-and-success-since-benjamin-franklin#comment-8724011<p>A very worth while set of observations / research and also the interview.May it can help me to sum up lots of efforts which are at rest now.</p>john becks mentoring americaThu, 05 Oct 2006 00:41:30 -0000http://www.thevirtualhandshake.com/blog/2006/02/26/pull-networking-and-success-since-benjamin-franklin#comment-8724010<p>great interview David! sounds like an interesting book!</p>marcSat, 11 Mar 2006 19:11:56 -0000
