Networking For VP+ Careers

Question for the experienced monkeys.

I've used some fairly aggressive networking/follow-up strategies in the past for analyst and associate roles. How is networking for VP+ approached?

I am in a city that has very few potential roles. When they do, they receive a ton of qualified out of state applications. No real head hunters here. So just looking for a way to get in without seeming too young in the networking style.

Thanks.
