I feel like I'm plateauing. My current role has me doing basic transactional sales with no room for skill development. There's no sales training, my territory is limited, and I rarely get to work on complex deals. I want to become a better salesperson and eventually move into enterprise sales, but how do I build those skills when my job keeps me in this box?

Try to find mentorship in your company if your direct manager/team isn’t helping with growth. Potentially looking for projects you could take on, too. Not all hope is lost. There are things to try. All the while, you can also be looking for a company that better suits your goals.

Good advice!

I hate saying it, but I'm honestly not sure you can based on what you've written. It's all but impossible to grow when you don't get the trainings and opportunities necessary to do so. I would try scheduling a 1:1 with your manager so you can express your desire to grow and see if they're amenable to giving you more chances to grow those skills. If they are, wonderful - go knock it out of the park. If not, it's probably time for you to go.

If you're not being offered any training, you need to step up and take classes or do something to learn on your own. And perhaps get serious about finding a job with more opportunity. You can't wait around for people to deliver skills to you, there's a point where you have to take the initiative and become determined to get where you want to be. Think outside the box and move forward!

It sounds like maybe you need to look elsewhere.

Hey OP, how’s it going?

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.
