The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online, by David Teten and Scott Allen, is a unique book about how to efficiently accelerate your business and your career.

More and more businesspeople are using Web 2.0 tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and blogs, to become dramatically more successful in business. The Virtual Handshake is the first book which explains how you can use these new tools to find your next client, your next business partner, your next star employee, or even your next job … online. The Founders of Craigslist, Military.com, and LinkedIn rave about this new book; so do Harvard Business School Working Knowledge and BusinessWeek.

The Virtual Handshake shows you step-by-step how to:
• attract business in online networks
• meet more relevant senior people
• start and promote a blog
• analyze and value your social network
• manage your contact database and your email deluge
• ensure privacy and safety

“The Virtual Handshake is a down-to-earth explanation of how people really connect on the 'net, and how to make that happen for yourself. David and Scott turn the abstract theory into practical action.”
