No Effort Too Small is NETS. It defines how the best of the best leave no stone unturned. It is used for someone you know who is pulling all the stops to get ahead, and it signals approval and encourages emulation. NETSing, full NETS, NETSed are common variations.
The regional manager was promoted to VP last week. 3 years ago he was in facilities. The CEO walked in on him one early morning meticulously cleaning the floor, lifting chairs and desks, sweeping under all the rugs, getting every goddamn dust mite off the lobby floor. He went total NETS on his cleaning tasks. The CEO, blown away, quickly moved him to the management track.
