A lot goes into the thought process in leaving a sales job for management. The most important in my mind is how much do you enjoy being a salesman? Before I went into medicine I was a furniture salesman, and the top salespeople always made more than the management. That was certainly true for me in the first year or so when I really enjoyed it. After I started to burn out I saw my income decrease to about half of what it was before. Nothing to do with the economy, my heart simply wasn’t in it anymore. Had I considered a move into management at that time, who knows, I might still be in that business.
If you find yourself tired of what you’re doing the move might make sense. If you’re a consistent producer that can see yourself doing the same thing for years, it may not. Whatever you do, rest assured that your sales skills will help you tremendously in whatever you decide to do.

ParticipantMaking the jump from individual contributor to manager can be difficult. Other promotions can be based on seniority, experience, education, etc. Who gets selected to be a manager is much more subjective so keep this in mind.
