Absolutely. The only reason I got on to Karmaloop is because I wrote (and eventually called) the CEO directly. The only reason I was able to build relationships with buyers at Nordstrom was because I literally called up Blake Nordstrom himself. You can't afford to waste time with people who CAN say no but CAN'T say yes. Connecting with decision makers is key. Even if it scares the crap out of you (it still shakes me up sometimes haha)What I read in the article that really vibed with me is your ability to reach higher in an organization if someone is unable to do something you're interested in. I read about numerous times you reached out to a CEO to get something done and I think that's huge. Not being afraid to talk to the guy in charge via email or telephone if people at the bottom don't want to take action for you.
Actions and processes like that is the real gold to take away from it.
