Key to succeed, networking or knowledge?

@ Trang Huynh : Nobody disagree with the fact that knowledge enable you to the better future : Job, business.. and ultimately wealth as you said. But no body can say what they know is more than what they don't know. Therefore, knowledge (or wisdom) from the crowd is always better than yourself. Hence if you already have a certain knowledge, networking would multiply that and open doors for you to many other thing... cheers

it is your mindset will decide your success, in whatever ways

This topic is interesting! I found that most of the answers choose networking is more important than knowledge. Me, too. I also think that networking is play an important role for 3 reasons:
1. Networking is an important way to develop contacts that you might not be able to meet by cold calling. If you can develop a personal relationship with prospects before you pick up the phone to call them, they are more likely to be receptive to a meeting.
2. Networking also benefits you because you meet people who can introduce you to other decision makers.
3. Finally networking is beneficial because it enables you to build a network of referrals and introductions for your clients. If you can help you clients meet the people they need to grow successfully, you will encourage repeat business and referrals.

Following this topic, maybe I should change my mind :-). I should invest more time on building networking, but I don't have much idea how to make networking more effective. If you could share one piece of advice to make networking more effective. what would it be?

For sure that knowledge and skills
