Bart Smith’s 51+ Networking Mistakes Shows You Exactly What To Stop Doing—So Every Conversation Works In Your Favor
A practical, before-during-after field guide reveals the most common networking missteps and how to avoid them; available in paperback, Kindle, and as a free audiobook.
Las Vegas, NV – September 1, 2025 — It’s amazing how many people make avoidable mistakes while networking—and how quickly outcomes improve once you know what not to do. In his new book, 51+ Networking Mistakes To Avoid When Networking! Stop Wasting Time, Losing Money & Start Networking Like A Real Rock Star!!!, author and entrepreneur Bart Smith, and co-author Noa Schecter, lay out the small missteps that derail conversations and the simple fixes that turn first meetings into lasting relationships. Organized into what to do before, during, and after an event, the book distills decades of “in-the-room” experience into clear, usable guidance you can apply at your very next meetup.
“Most people never realize how easy it is to course-correct,” said Smith. “If they had this book, their networking experiences would turn out far more positive than negative—consistently.”
Why this book matters now
Smith’s guide tackles real-world mistakes professionals make at meetups, mixers, and conferences—what to bring, what to say (and not say), how to handle business cards and tech, where photos help, and how to follow up without being forgotten. The content is built around three phases—before you go, while you are there, and after you leave—so readers can plug in the right tactic at the right time.
What readers will learn (A–Z)
• Branding: present a consistent look and message that’s memorable.
• Business cards: what to collect, what to do with them, and when.
• Checklists: a quick pre-event run-through that prevents gotchas.
• Conversation: what to say/not say; talk less, listen more.
• Email list: ethical, effective list-building from in-person events.
• Gear/tech: devices etiquette so you stay present, not distracted.
• Name tags: whether to wear them and how to make them work for you.
• Outcomes: define your goal before you arrive so time isn’t wasted.
• Photos: how many to take, with whom, and where to share them.
• Preparation: what to bring and how to be event-ready in minutes.
Format Availability & Pricing
51+ Networking Mistakes is available now in paperback (SRP $12.95), Kindle (free with Kindle Unlimited or $3.95 to own), and as a free audiobook on Smith’s YouTube channel.
