Currently working in event sales/management (social/weddings) and looking to move into a WFH sales role to better accommodate my lifestyle and health. Any suggestions of where to start looking? Feel free to share any links or referrals! Work life balance is important to me, and working 60+ hours a week has taken its toll.

Is there a particular industry and/or product/service you are interested in? LinkedIn has a decent tool for narrowing your search based on criteria like WFH/remote, etc.

I would say LinkedIn or maybe some freelance work? There's a lot of biz dev and lead generation type stuff if you'd be interested in that

HelmsBriscoe would be a great place for you!
