I appreciate your advice "Make saying "no" easy." I recently started learning how to network and practicing. I am anxious and afraid to appear slimy reaching out to people. A manager at a company I met at a networking event recently replied to my Linkedin message with a "no because you already applied" when I asked for an introduction to someone about a job I applied. I felt so discouraged. I have so much more to learn.
