“I believe the life we live are the lessons we teach. As you read Joe’s story, it becomes apparent why he is uniquely suited to author this genius book. Behind every principle there is a promise. Every story illustrates a strategy. Every revelation yields a reward. Our world is a better brighter place because Joe was born and I’m grateful he put his trademark wit, warmth and wisdom in this work.
MARIE FORLEO

One of Joe’s greatest gifts is connection: his uncanny ability to connect us with new ideas, new possibilities, new people, and most importantly, to ourselves. This book is a treasure, filled with profound wisdom and practical strategies that will benefit you and those you serve for years to come.

I’m always irritated by how-to books written by people who’ve never proved they know how-to. Joe Polish’s “What’s in it for Them?" is exactly the opposite. I can tell you from twenty years of knowing Joe that he is an absolute master at establishing relationships with people he’s in business with (it’s called FRIENDSHIP and FUN … and it comes from the heart.) This indeed is the critical element, above and beyond having a great product and knowing how to market it, that turns entrepreneurship into success. And makes it fun!

I may not know entrepreneurship, but as a physician and writer I do know about people and about books. What’s In It For Them is like its author Joe Polish. It is authentic, all about communication and connection; direct, to the point; articulate, insightful, honest, lively, wise and fun. It will help many.

Joe’s welcoming smile belies a keen intellect and a wickedly, funny sense of humor. He is a civil rights leader for people suffering, a genius for people who need marketing, and a friend to so many others. His new book, What’s In It For Them gives us the importance of connecting to other humans through gratefulness, appreciation and building value. We all want to connect to other human beings. We also know doing so can be difficult. The first domino to truly connect is Joe’s book.

For years I recommended “How To Win Friends & Influence People” and “Think & Grow Rich” as must reads to my friends, students and family. But lately, many of them pointed out how dated and out of touch with current times those books have become. Joe Polish’s “What’s In It For Them” brilliantly modernizes relationship mastery with an entertaining, uplifting and very raw honesty that is often lost as authors try to write something that will offend no one and have a little something for everyone. Joe’s book provides priceless, actionable, step-by-step strategies that you can start using right away to build better relationships, live a better life and create positive change and impact in the world.

Authentic relationships are at the heart of living both a fulfilling life and enjoying a successful career. There is one person I believe who stands out as the person best equipped to teach us how to achieve both by developing true connection with the people in our personal and professional life - and that person is author Joe Polish. This is a must-read book for anyone looking to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships by serving first and becoming that person that person that people always answer the phone for.
What’s In It For Them?
Is divided into 9 principles that – when absorbed and applied – will enhance everything you do in life for one simple reason: everything you do in life involves other people. Inside each chapter you’ll work through…
- One core rapport principle to help you make connections that matter with authenticity, value and appreciation. These principles are the magic wand to get the business you want, the life you deserve and the impact you desire.
- Dominoes in each chapter. There are the lessons that accelerate your growth. When a domino falls, it creates a chain reaction that creates a cascade of change and success.
- The upside and downside that comes with fully embracing each principle. You’ll read about the positive change each will have on your life and learn how to steer clear of the potential pitfalls.
- Specific action steps after each chapter – the same steps taken by some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. These exercises will give you the push you need to get out of your comfort zone (which is what’s required to achieve massive results).

DR. BENJAMIN HARDY
Author of Be Your Future Self Now
The moment I learned about Joe Polish and Genius Network, I was intrigued. After my first Genius Network meeting, it was instinctive to immediately join his 100K group. My life has never been the same. Joe has connected me with countless people that have changed my life and business. But most important, Joe continues teaching me how to better connect with myself, so I can heal and transform. You’ll be surprised by how hard and deep this book hits. It generously shows the how and why of connection, and it’s not what you expect.

Joe Polish is the most remarkable marketer I've met in the world because he is a great person who motivates other great people to multiply the very best things that they can do for others. He always sees things from the other person's perspective. That's where great marketing starts and finishes. Joe is always doing this better. And now he simplifies how we, as committed lifelong marketers, can all do it greater.

Joe Polish is an absolute master when it comes to relationship building. For years I’ve wondered how Joe was able to build such an impressive Rolodex of the most influential leaders in the world. Inside of What’s In It For Them? he reveals it all. You won’t find any gimmicks or gross networking tactics inside. Instead, Joe shows you how to truly connect and build deep meaningful relationships that last. The result? Greater levels of success — by simply helping others get ahead. I highly recommend this book to the entrepreneur who wants a new way to network that’s real, meaningful, and focused on playing the long game.
ROBERT B. CIALDINI

Everyone knows people prefer to do business within strong relationships. The unanswered question was always exactly how to build those relationships. Not anymore. This brilliant book shows us precisely when and how to do it. That’s what makes it brilliant... and indispensable.

After 30 years of putting his own advice into practice, Polish now speaks to audiences all around the world and is surrounded by business leaders and billionaires he calls friends.
In What’s In It For Them?, he explains his one-of-a-kind approach to rapport-building he used to get there—and offers a few cautionary tales along the way.
