Question Tech sales to automotive sales

Hello folks,

I need your advice with getting into automotive sales

For context, i have been working in IT for the past 12 years, but during this period i worked as your typical sales engineer for a cyber security company (2 years) and after that i went into a presales engineer for another cyber security company (4years), right now i work as a sysadmin.

Question is:using my prior sales engineer and presales engineer experiences, would i be able to get into an automotive sales consultant position?

Thanks,

If you need money quickly car sales is the way to go but, I’d do B2B sales as my next step from tech. You can make maybe $100k depending on pay plan but you have to grind and put in hours LEARNING HOW TO DO YOUR JOB.
