How to Leave Sales
Are You Asking Yourself: “How Do I Leave Sales?”
You’re not alone.
Every week, I speak with high-performing sales professionals who are burned out, bored by the monthly or quarterly cadence of their job and tired of chasing numbers.
You may be ready for a career change—but perhaps you don’t know where to start. Or you’re not sure how to leave the world of commission you’ve become so used to.
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
Why Do So Many Sales Professionals Want to Change Careers?
Let’s be honest—sales can be exciting at first. But over time, it can drain your energy and confidence:
💥 Constant pressure to hit targets
☎️ Cold calling, follow-ups, and ghosting
💰 Commission stress with little control
📉 Fear of being replaced by AI or automation
If you’ve ever thought “I’m good at this… but I can’t do this forever,”
this article (and the free guide I’m about to share) is for you.
The great news is that the skills it takes to work in sales are highly transferable. You are most likely a strong communicator, able to influence and confident, goal-oriented, quick thinkers and great under pressure.
Your sales experience gives you an edge in dozens of other roles — you just need help identifying them.
To help you explore your options, I’ve created a free downloadable guide:
