I've got 4 years of sales experience and am looking to transition out of sales & move. Any advice on how to market myself / find a role that will hire me without direct experience?

So this is a little long winded sorry. I just really resonate with where you are. I am in the same boat as you except I never wanted to be in sales, the role I took was not supposed to be sales but moved that way quickly with changes in the market and multiple title changes. Get me out of here!! I am not a salesman unless I truly believe in what I’m selling and I just can’t make myself believe here (acute behavioral healthcare) even though I have trained staff how to “sell” the product without believing. Everything you said you’re looking for is the same for me. I need a role where I can be creative, collaborative , manage and lead, strategically plan, review and improve process. These are the areas where I shine. I am the ideas person so sales enablement sure but even that title makes me nervous as I can not seem to get out of the business development pigeon hole. Any advice anyone has, if you get some great tips, please let me know.

My options are a bit open...program manager, community manager, marketing, maybe sales enablement because of my sales experience. I'm not 100% sure or locked into a role. I want to be collaborative, creative, and use my leadership skills.
