Many of these folks have tremendously valuable advice on how to use relationships to grow your income and your business. I recommend you check them out and listen to what they have to say because their collective wisdom is enough to make you wealthy many times over. When you write about relationship-building and networking, as I do, you tend come across a lot of authors and experts who write about these topics. Recently, I looked around for a comprehensive list of relationship-building/networking experts and I couldn’t find one. So I decided to create a list myself. The folks on this list don’t see “networking” as a bad word. They see relationship building, aka “networking,” as a win-win – a way we can all get ahead. That’s how I see it. And they advocate ideas and strategies for growing your network in a smart, strategic, and ethical way. You may have heard of a number of the names listed below, such as authors Michael Port and Keith Ferrazzi. But I also included many lesser-known but equally wise experts, such as Contactually.com co-founder Zvi Band and Dr. Dave Stachowiak, a Senior Vice President with Dale Carnegie International and the host of the Coaching for Leaders podcast. Even though there are numbers listed below, these are not rankings – the name are listed in no particular order. Finally, this is actually only an excerpt of a full list of 50 experts I put together. If you would like the full list of 50 relationship-building/networking experts (including more experts such as Tony Robbins, Bob Burg and Malcolm Gladwell who are not listed below), you can download that report for free here. Without further ado, here are the 25 professional networking experts to watch in 2015:
