Transition into Outside Sales Rep?

You could be a closer for any number of third party agencies. They bring you leads on behalf of their client, and you make the sale of that client's offer in exchange for a % of the revenue. It's an increasingly common business model as many people think they have what it takes to start such a business...but I would filter for those founders who understand supporting their reps and providing well-qualified leads are key.

As long as you have a good internet connection you can do this role.

Choose a company which doesn't hire sales people. But there are products and services which are more DEMONSTRATION oriented. It is more of a show and tell, rather than a try to sell situation.

And the green eco companies are well suited for this. But to fulfill your goals, being hired is not what you want, you'll surrender too much time and freedom. Look for a distributor opportunity which has minimum requirements to retain your territory, or better yet an opportunity you can take with you anywhere you go.

Since you are passionate and have the Entrepreneur background, consider a new career as a GREEN CONSULTANT.

At the lower end, there are water conservation companies targeted to the consumer.

At a higher end, there are those consultants working with big companies, and there is a lot of EMPLOYEE education, maybe you could offer workshops and seminars on site for those people. Bigger companies will pay more. And of course, there is your own background, in whatever you have done, probably other similar businesses all over who could use your expertise.

As a consultant, or call yourself an Auditor, do Green Audits of business, gov't. OR something less formal, like an appraiser. You simply do an appraisal of the business, and then you scale it up, by training others to become appraisers, so you spread the word, help others make money, and you visit whatever country you want...and bring along not only a eco friendly philosophy, maybe you bring a business opportunity with you too.

Good luck.

PS Pick a product which you only have to show and tell, without any selling involved.
