Internal Networking Playbook

You’re great at your job - so why is it so hard to get promoted?

You’re doing the work.
You’re hitting the numbers.
You’re raising your hand for more.

And yet... you’re stuck.

Your peers are moving up while you’re still waiting to be “tapped on the shoulder.”

You feel invisible. 

Your Problem Isn’t Your Performance.

It’s Your Visibility (or lack thereof). 

That’s Where This Playbook Comes In

The Networking Playbook gives you the exact strategies I’ve used to help sales professionals and emerging leaders:

🔹 Identify who you need to know and why
🔹 Secure meetings that feel authentic, not awkward
🔹 Lead powerful conversations that position you for your next role
🔹 Offer real value so you don’t feel like you're just “asking for a favor”
🔹 Follow up like a pro and stay top-of-mind for opportunities

This isn’t just theory. It’s the system I developed through 1:1 coaching, executive experience, and my own journey navigating career growth in competitive environments.

It includes:

  • A 6-step Networking Framework
  • Fill-in-the-blank templates for career storytelling and outreach
  • Thoughtful, non-cringey conversation starters
  • Real examples of value exchange (so you’re not left guessing)
  • Follow-up tactics that actually deepen relationships over time

Hi! 👋 I'm Donna Lin, Founder of On Target Learnings. 

I navigated Corporate America for 20 years and achieved 9 promotions culminating in my roles as Area VP at Salesforce and Director at American Express.

I’ve achieved President’s Club 3 times, won my division’s “Leader of the Year”award and was sponsored for 3 international relocations (London>San Fran>Toronto). I now leverage the skills I gained over 15 years in Leadership to Coach salespeople.

The goal of this Networking Playbook is to demystify how to build internal relationships to get promoted faster. My tremendous career success is a result of the support I’ve received over the years from my network. Sponsorship doesn’t just happen, you need a strategy.

I’m glad you’re here and you can steal mine 🔥 Â
