Advice to transition from banking to sales? I’m 15 years into a banking career and have been more interested in direct sales roles as of late with more upside. I’m a relationship manager which means I cover existing accounts and prospect for new accounts ranging from mid market companies to enterprise level companies. I definitely have sales experience but I feel like it is difficult to translate to one of these more direct sales opportunities where the product/services is much different than what I have been selling (loans/deposit products and services). Any advice for transitioning would be much appreciated. Given some of the posts about comp, I feel like it’s worth my while to make the change. Current situation is base plus bonus for a total of ~250k.

Are you looking to do sales in banking / fin services? Or a totally different industry (like software or med device)?

I am open to both really. Likely an easier transition to banking/fs sales vs something like med device (I would think) but would love another opinion
