Need advice, I have been a GSM with same auto family 18 years & never took a sick day working 6 days a week 10-12 hr days. Took 3 different locations to the top in the state. Decided after the best year we/I ever had, the culture/values have changed so much I just can’t do it anymore. I want to get into something else that will allow more time with 3 boys before I miss their childhoods. What company/industry will hire/train me outside the car biz to lead a team/sell. Ideas and direction appre!

Sounds like my husband. I’m trying to get him to pivot, the hours are atrocious. Very interested to hear feedback. My thoughts are If you can sell a car—the people who come in automatically dislike you and treat you like crap—you can sell anything.

Thanks for the reply! I feel the same way and know I can sell/lead a team to succeed. I just need some advice on how to get my foot in the door. I have a resume put together and I’m looking at tech/cyber security?? Anything that is growing. If you can sell and have the “IT” the rest is easy. Just need to find a good company that will educate me on their product and give me a shot to show them what I can do. Good luck to you and your husband!

Insurance. It’s not boring. Office hours are normal.

Financial Industry but depending on the role you might need to get licensed (FINRA).
