Don't do anything overt about wanting a job in Sales in the hope other people randomly find that & contact you (say because you posted something in your profile, an update or a group about looking for a job in sales). This is all passive anyway. The real value of LinkedIn comes from being able to research Industries, Companies and People and then proactively reach out to them yourself. Not 10-12 people, hundreds and hundreds of people, on an ongoing basis. Do it all under the banner of Business Networking, make it win-win, about them and non-self promotional, take massive action in meeting just the type of people in just the right companies & industries you want to, and you'll have endless opportunities to bring up your interest in getting into sales, in a natural & well timed way, in a business but casual setting.
