What advancement opportunities are available for someone starting in a No Experience Sales position?
Many companies view No Experience Sales positions as entry-level pathways for motivated individuals to launch a sales career, offering structured training and mentorship. As you gain experience and consistently meet or exceed sales goals, you can progress to roles such as Sales Associate, Account Manager, or even Sales Team Leader. Advancement often depends on your performance and willingness to take on additional responsibilities, like mentoring new team members or managing larger client accounts. The skills developed in a no experience sales role—such as negotiation, relationship-building, and organization—are highly valued and can lead to further opportunities within sales or related business careers.

I have 9 years of sales experience, 3 in B2B software sales. What are some entry level jobs that I'd be a fit for? Just got fired and I'm a little anxious about going without any income.
For those of you who have successfully landed a sales job with no prior experience, what was it that got you the job? Was there anything specific you put on your resume that grabbed their attention? Use of cover letter?
I’m looking to start a sales career in HVAC and I’ve applied to a few places to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you in advance for taking the time to participate in this conversation.
EDIT: For more context, the only experience I have in sales and customer relations is that I’ve worked as a delivery driver for a furniture company and I have 3 years of being in a MLM with a group of 3/18. I recently walked into a HVAC shop and asked to speak with the sales manager. Told him my experience and he said the MLM I was apart of was a scam. He still asked me for my name and number and said they’ll be hiring for the comfort advisor position in 2 weeks. Should I even be bringing up my experience with my old MLM?
