Question for you sales folks. Let me know if this isn't the right thread for this, I haven't really gotten through all of this sub-forum yet: My husband needs to break out of retail management. Life is moving forward and we're expecting a baby in a couple of months. As it turns out, he is exceptionally good at up-selling. He has 8 years of retail experience and 4 years of retail management experience. As far as schooling goes, he's about ~1/3-1/2 way through a BA program. He currently works at GameStop as an assistant manager and has repeatedly brought his store to #1 in the district and #1 in the North East in sales/credit card apps. Corporate has also informed him that he brought his store to #1 in the company a few months ago on one occasion and asked him to give tips during a company-wide conference call for managers. Unfortunately, while his district manager notices his successes, they don't really acknowledge them formally and are not doing much to forward his career despite his eagerness. How did you break into sales? I really think he has potential in the field.

Snatch Duster posted:He should apply to any inside sales role that also has some outside sales responsibleties. He needs to find a company that sells expensive products to make decent money. He could work at a call center selling poo poo constantly using Straight Line, but to find one that he can make decent living from will be hard. Thank you so much!

Most DM positions he's seen require a BA which he hasn't finished. He's probably stuck at store manager level because of it, and even then some companies require a degree. We're in NYC, on the Long Island border. I'm sure there are literally thousands of positions out here if we knew what to look for!
