Transitioning from Real Estate Sales & Investing to Saas Account Executive/Enterprise AI roll
Hi all, I’m a 39M and seeking a career change with some stability. For the last 7 years I’ve been selling homes, averaging about 100-125k in commissions and doing home flips here and there.
This year has been the toughest since my first year in business. The real estate market has been tough and I’ve only closed 1 deal worth 11k. I’ve had many deals fall apart in the last 3 months. I essentially feel unemployed right now.
I’m looking to transition into fully remote work now, I have a 1yr old daughter who I have to look after full time.
Based on my skillset: **Your strongest skills**
High-ticket sales and negotiation.
Building trust with clients.
Real estate investing and underwriting.
Construction and project management.
Coordinating multiple parties (attorneys, lenders, contractors, architects).
Explaining complex financial concepts in a simple way.
Working independently and driving deals from start to finish.
**Enterprise AI or SaaS Account Executive or AI Solutions Consultant roles** seem to be the best fit for me. However, I have been applying and after 10 months of sending in applications to these positions, I’ve only had one interview so far.
If anyone has advice on what I need to do to break into this field, it would be greatly appreciated.
