Breaking into luxury sales without direct luxury experience is definitely tricky, but I don't think it's impossible. One approach could be to really highlight any premium or high-touch sales experience you have even if not luxury branded, and show how you’ve built relationships and delivered tailored service. Try networking in luxury circles and maybe doing some short courses on luxury brand culture or customer psychology can help you stand out.
You can't change your experience, but you can shift the focus of your resume to frame your experience by highlighting factors like service and customer relationship. If you've been involved in guiding people toward high value or complex transactions, highlight that. You should try to approach organizations where you might be able to get the experience that is more aligned with luxury sales.
I agree with retooling your resume to highlight areas complementary to luxury sales.
You have to know someone. Try pharma sales first to get a higher ticket product and then parlay that experience to crossover into luxury.
