Update on the Virtual Handshake Book

I’m glad to report that popular reaction to Scott Allen’s and my new book, The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online, has been very positive.

 We have received rave reviews in BusinessWeek, Harvard Business School Working Knowledge, Kirkus Reviews , and many other leading publications.

We have also been excerpted in CNN.com and FastCompany.com . I’m chairing a social software conference December 1-2 in New York: “Beyond Blogs and Social Networks: How Consumer Generated Media and the Virtual Handshake will Make or Break Your Business”.

I hope you can join us. Details: http://www.srinstitute.com/CF401 .
