Acknowledgments

T his book is dedicated to my brother-in-law and best friend of 40 years, Dieter Schien. While Dieter wasnt an avid LinkedIn user or entrepreneur, he was always supportive of my family and me. Dieter used to attend local marketing events and networking meetings with me. He liked tagging along to meet new people and to learn something new, even though he was disabled and couldnt work for the last 15 years of his life. Dieter was a lot like Norm on Cheers. Everyone knew and liked Dieter because he was friendly, kind, helpful, and a lot of fun. When he entered a room, everyone would yell, Dieter!

Im going to miss you, Dieter, and I love you.

Foreword

by Melonie Dodaro

Founder and CEO of Top Dog Social Media and the bestselling author of LinkedIn Unlocked and The LinkedIn Code

T here is no question that LinkedIn is a gold mine for those who take the time to understand how to leverage it. The problem is that most dont take that time. So many people are still collecting connections instead of building long-term relationships. Ted is one of those people who really understand how to build relationships, so when he asked me to write the foreword for his book, I accepted immediately.
