"Networking is simply an overused and poorly understood term for exercising good people skills and building good relationships. It isn't something to be whipped out when you need a favor. ‘It's like flossing your teeth,’ says Andrea Nierenberg, a New York business-development consultant and author of ‘Nonstop Networking.' ‘You can't do it once and expect it to work. You have to do it consistently to get results.’"
-- Perri Capell, The Wall Street Journal’s College Journal, May 2005
"You've got the social aspect of networking figured out. You've got functions on the calendar, business cards in hand and referrals to make. But at some point, you need to organize your contacts to make the most of your efforts, says Andrea Nierenberg, author of ‘Nonstop Networking.’"
"Networking to find a job is increasingly hard work, so it is easy to understand the appeal of landing a job interview while standing in line for a movie or over a steam table at lunch time. But for Andrea R. Nierenberg, president of the Nierenberg Group, a Manhattan marketing consultancy, taking advantage of any chance meeting is a form of networking.
‘Networking is a state of mind,’ said Ms. Nierenberg, author of ‘Nonstop Networking: How to Improve Your Life, Luck and Career’ and the forthcoming ‘Million Dollar Networking.’"
-- Coeli Carr, The New York Times, March 2005
"Why waste time on the road? Build business relationships while waiting at the airport, on the plane, or at hotel check-in, suggests Andrea Nierenberg, author of 'Nonstop Networking.'"
Andrea Nierenberg, author of ‘Nonstop Networking: How to Improve Your Life, Luck and Career,’ offers these tips to revelers:
* Keep your shirt on. It's OK to loosen a tie or kick off heels. But skin-tight and skin-baring fashions are no-nos for women. Guys, keep everything buttoned and zipped.
* Limit libations. Nothing spells a bad review like a-l-c-o-h-o-l.
* Ho, ho, ho, it's almost review time. Make sure you say hello to your boss, his/her boss (who approves your raise) and colleagues you haven't seen for a while.
* Bring your significant other if possible. It's the No. 1 way to stay out of trouble.
* Opt for early retirement. Leave while the night is young.
-- Molly Woulfe, Northwest Indiana Times, December 2004

Jim Pawlak, BizBooks, August 2004, Chicago Tribune
"Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover, but its title can be telling. I was attracted to 'Nonstop Networking'’s subtitle, ‘How to improve your life, luck, and career.’ I read Andrea R. Nierenberg’s book in less than two hours, and her networking methods inspired me to try harder to meet more people. 'Nonstop Networking' is now in my reference library….Andrea, a business improvement consultant, offers many good suggestions about how to organize data garnered from contacts you make. She notes what it is important to know about a person— birthdays, honors they have received, important events in their lives, news you read about them on the internet or in print media. She even tells you how to fit time for writing thank-you notes into a busy schedule….I recommend that you all shell out the bucks for Nonstop Networking by Andrea R. Nierenberg, and pick up a copy for a friend who writes, too."
Elizabeth Laden, Island Park News, December, 2004
"Very much on the plus side is the layout.

I recommend you read this book. It’s full of good ideas."
Ray Jutkins, The Power Direct Marketing E-Zine

Bill Quinnan, Orange County Register
"Feeling rested and ready to tackle the world? How about the job market first? Before you dive in, you're going to want to read Andrea Nierenberg's ‘Nonstop Networking: How to Improve Your Life, Luck and Career.’ Making connections for finding a job can be tough for some people, especially introverts. Of course, with college students, the number of professional contacts will be low compared to people who have been in the workforce for a while. Knowing how to network with people is a lesson every student needs. And you'll enjoy this lesson."
