I'm told our new bank manager is a friend of Dorothy. Is it important for me to network her?

Networking is a really important tool, and it is important to get your name out to as many as possible, but it is not the only tool. A tru pro can use all the sales tools at once to maximim advantage.

When I first started working, that was exactly what I was told: "It's not what you do, it's who you know."
It has been proved true.
Being an idiot, I have not gone out of my way to 'network' or 'kiss-***'... Hence my pathetic career; technical skills will only get you so far.
Just one thing, if you want to play this game, get to know the manager via Dorothy; Dorothy would be a means to an end, not an end. So network with Dorothy, but push her towards including you in the circle with the manager.

Yes. It's all about networking these days. Networking is another word kissing butt!

A sad reality of our times....It is who you know that will help you get ahead.
That can get you in a lot of doors where your abilities can shine.
Without that help, you may never get the chance to excel.
Good luck.

It's not who you know; it's who you blow.
