What Is A Portfolio Career?
If you’re looking to leave sales, have you considered a Portfolio Career?
Instead of one full-time role, a portfolio career blends consulting, coaching, fractional leadership, project work, and passion-driven pursuits.
Why It Works
Why does this work so well for former sales people?
✅ We already know how to build relationships and influence.
✅ We’re used to juggling multiple priorities, in fact we thrive off it.
✅ We’re comfortable working across sectors and getting under the skin of different businesses.
A portfolio career lets you step out of the sales pressure cooker without losing your identity or income. It’s not about starting over—it’s about repackaging your brilliance.
Resources
There are resources out there to help you find out more. The common one I hear most about is the Portfolio Collective. You can register for free and start to build up your knowledge of what a portfolio career could look like.
