โThe invaluable advice in How to Wow guarantees your success in any meeting situation, from the boardroom to the breakfast table.โโKeith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone
In todayโs fast-paced world, where an elevator ride with your CEO can turn into an impromptu meeting, your lunch date can become a job interview, and your conversation at a cocktail party may be a preamble to a potential business merger, knowing how to market yourself in any situation is vital.

Every encounter, Jones believes, provides you with an opportunity to positively influence colleagues, employers, neighborsโeven competitors.
