It’s a hard truth about sales - not everyone will have a lifelong sales career! So what should you do if you’re wondering about other paths?

Kasey and Ashleigh discuss a four-step plan to help you build out your options and decide what the best next step is - whether it’s in sales or not!

Step One - Get Coffee with people from every department - ask them what they do and what they love about their job.

Step Two - Take all the assessments. Perspective is always valuable! Kasey is a fan of Gallup’s strength finder.

Step Three - Find a career coach. They can help you figure out how to sell your experience and explore alternate paths. If you can’t afford one, look for mentors in the direction you want to go who have made the jump.

Step Four - Take the stair step approach. Find a way to expose yourself to aspects of the new direction - projects, shadowing, or volunteer work. This will help you be 100% sure you’ll be happy!

No matter what - sales is great experience to have on your resume and will serve you well your whole career and life!
