I’ve been in car sales going on 3 years now. It’s had its up & downs. We are dealing with an inventory crisis. We normally sold 200+ new cars a month, right now we are selling 30-40. Most of our vehicles are sold before they hit the lot. Our used vehicles are double the price they were years ago. It’s been insanely stressful and I think I’m ready to get into a career with a salary & weekends off. Although, I do not have a college degree. What kind of jobs should I be looking into?

You have sales experience. That is valuable. Try to find another sales-related role? Alternatively, you could argue that you’re interested in inventory management and procurement related jobs for a firm as well

I hear ya. Honestly, any sales role would be a great fit for you. If you want to transition to tech, learn at the very least Salesforce basics and Outreach or Hubspot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator so you can add that to your resume. If you really want out, you can even go after SDR and BDR roles at tech companies

Wow...I didn't know that about these car lots. Makes a lot of sense. You could do almost anything in sales?
