NEW YORK—Emphasizing the importance of “developing contacts and getting
your name out there,” sales coordinator Keith Elliott told reporters on
Tuesday that he was traveling home to Ohio for the holidays to put in
some solid networking time with his family. “Christmas is a great
opportunity for me to really work the room, and I’m hoping to make some
big contacts, especially on my mom’s side of the family,” said Elliott,
who mentioned that he would “definitely try to get in some good face
time” with his dad, who works in retail. “You just never know which
sibling or nephew might have an ‘in’ for you somewhere, so it’s really
important to cultivate personal, win-win relationships with all of
them.” Elliott added that he planned on enclosing his business card in
his gift to his second cousin Steven Brolin, who reportedly “knows some
of the higher-ups over at a Fortune 500 company.”
