I was doing retail chain and distribution business for the past 8 years. I started with one shop and expanded to 7 retail outlets and a distribution warehouse.
I started distributing goods to my own shops and to my retail competitors as well.
The retail and distribution business were good for about 6 years and I started to see the trend is going down as well as profit margin so I prepared my exit.
I started to downsize and not renew when my outlets' tenancy agreement expired.
It took me one and half year to fully exit the business and I sold last shop along with the goods to someone else.
And before this, I was running a f&b business for about 4 years.
I left the f&b business because me and my partner had issues and I decided to leave the partnership.
Due to my sales background, I was recruited into my current job as a sales manager.
This job is fine for me now but I feel that I might not have the energy to keep doing sales when I am older in my 50s.
This is why I am planning to switch industry but all my experience seems to be mostly relate to sales.
I am wondering how or what sector I can smoothly move into.
