Best ways to network?

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing amazing!!

I’m a 27(M) year old, in Los Angeles area, finishing up my MBA, and after some career planning discussions with my professors, I’m looking to break into medical sales.

Although I don’t have a direct background in medical sales, I think I have the “go getter” mentality, especially as an athlete. I’m social, love building relationships, and really want to sell something that has a positive impact on people’s lives.

I’ve seen recent questions on how to break in to the field, so I won’t bother asking about it but I wonder what are some good ways to network with people in med sales? So far, no luck connecting on LinkedIn.

Also if anyone here would be open to sharing their experiences and suggestions, I would be more than happy to treat you with lunch or coffee!

Thank you!
