Why Online Medical Sales Applications Get Poor ROI -- and what to do instead.

Reignite Your Network in Under an Hour a Day

 "Your next big opportunity is probably hiding in your existing network. The only problem? You're not talking to them."

Over the years, I’ve realized the most overlooked resource in anyone's career is the relationships we already have.

I’m talking about the people who know your name, have worked alongside you, or would gladly introduce you to someone else—if only you stayed in touch.

That’s why I started using the 5-5-5 Networking System, and it completely changed how I approach my career growth.

This method is simple, takes less than an hour a day, and has helped me rebuild meaningful connections while creating new ones that lead to real opportunities.

The 5-5-5 Networking System: How It Works

Here’s the formula that keeps you from getting stuck in your own bubble:

📝 Step 1: Write Down Everyone You Know

Set aside 45 minutes to an hour and brainstorm everyone you can think of—former colleagues, mentors, friends, classmates. Don’t overthink it. Just get the names down.

🗂 Step 2: Categorize Into 3 Groups

Divide your list into these buckets:

• People you knew (past coworkers, old friends, ex-managers)

• People you know (current colleagues, industry peers)

• People you want to know (leaders at companies you admire, potential mentors)

📬 Step 3: Reach Out to 5 People in Each Group

Every day, send a quick message to:

• 5 people from your past (just to reconnect, no agenda)

• 5 people you know now (check in, show interest)

• 5 people you’d like to know (introduce yourself, mention a shared interest)

That’s it.
