Is it possible to transition from Sales Manager to consulting. Currently making around 100k per year and would like to make a move and potentially make 20-30% more. For context, I have been at my current organization for 4 years and have grown my teams annual revenue from 1,000,000 to over 4,000,000 primarily through improving the culture, processes, and quality

I’m gonna say It depends on the type of consulting. I would probably rule out MBB but maybe you can get into a big 4.

A safe bet would be getting an MBA

What industry? Sales manager that makes 100k seems very low.

We’re B2C in utilities, telecom, and some technology. At least for Dallas the salary is somewhat competitive, it’s a smaller company of 200 employees

ANYTHING is possible ;)

And it sounds like you are worth it so go get it!!
