The key to making a career switch is to focus on transferable skills. It sounds like you surely have some if you're experienced in customer service. Just apply for jobs at companies you'd like to work for and highlight those skills on your resume and in your cover letters. The best advice for starting is to just start!
This isn’t a hard jump. As the other already said you just got to go for it.
You can’t teach people skills. You either have it or don’t. And if you’ve done customer service for some time you have it. That’s the biggest part.
Just highlight those skills on how you handle customers and solve their problems. That’s all sales is, finding the “pain point” for a customer and exploiting it. Providing value to them with the products or services that will ease or take that pain away.
You got this just start applying you will find one that sounds interesting.
Car sales is always a good route to start. Get your feet wet then move on to other things. I would try and stay away from retail sales as it was hard for me personally to break into b2b with retail sales only. I got lucky with a manager that believed I could provide value.
