I thought I would throw this out there since there appear to be a number of intelligent people on this forum.
Short version of my question: what type of sales jobs are you aware of that might be worth looking into. Need them to: pay a minimum of 60k a year (could be a combination of salary + comm or just pure commission) I'm not exactly looking for specifics just general ideas of industries that might have a good future. I'm passionate about technology, audio, and home theatre.
Long version:
I am a salesmanager in retail auto sales where I have worked for the last 9.5 years. Before that I was in consumer finacial product sales. (Insurance, mutual funds, etc) So all my experience is in direct to consumer sales.
Without bragging I can say that through much diligence and hard work I have become an very good salesperson. For example for a year straight in my financial products job I came in an hour early every day to watch Top Hopkins videos on sales.
I don't think I'm above average as a manager though. I am not good at holding others accountable and have a difficult time firing people when I realize I have made a bad hire. (Not too good at hiring either!)
I've been considering leaving auto sales for a couple years but until recently my income and obligations were so high it was difficult to figure out what other ocupation I could transition to without going through great financial difficulty.
As perhaps a blessing in disguise my income has dropped by nearly half and there is a very real posibility my job will no longer exist in 30 days or less. The financial difficulties that caused me to fear leaving have come anyways so now I have an opportunity to think about the next 30 years that lie ahead of me for my working career.
Anyone got any ideas?:no clue:
Thanks!
