Lol, for real, In the middle of reno #4 in "im sick of staring at these same 4 walls covid renos" and the shit is ridiculous. You got a guy? Where my canada peeps on the other thread buy some black market 2x4s
hahaha black market lumber is definitely the direction we're headed.
Time to break out the old growth cedar I guess.ย
I planted some saw dust a couple months ago, ill let you know how that goes.ย
or construction of any kind in Nashville, Atlanta, and most of metropolitan Texas.ย
Rescue dogs.
The goal is an early retirement and running a rescue with the wife.

That's awesome dude. Love it.
Pipe dream is having a rescue ranch! Lots of room, resources and love to give anyone with 4 lets and a tail some freedom!
How do you sell rescue dogs?
Black Market
What are the profit margins when selling rescue dogs?
LOVE THIS!ย ย
I help run a rescue now!ย
Sales does a great job of prepping you for fosters, adopters, and all of the eye-roll inducing people in betweenย
ย You ever want to get involved so you know what to expect, I know a gal who desperately needs remote adoption and foster counselors lol

shower curtain rings without a doubt
Great call back to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!!! I absolutely love that mash up of John Candy and Steve Martin.
I'd love to sell beer, but man that's a tough gig. Long hours, low pay, lots of manual labor, few holidays...ย
I actually was offered a job selling beer several years ago but when I learned all the specifics of it -- like literally halving my OTE -- I turned it down.ย

My cousin found out the same thing so he decided to just open up his own brewery and bar. Worked out pretty well for him actually.
Damn that's rough, I would totally turn down.ย
Highend Merch & Apparels. Great margins there
Great industry choice!
Yes, ofcourse it'd be own brand. Won't sell for others lol
Ha! Without a doubt.ย
When the opportunity arises to sell for yourself and not someone else we grab it ๐ก

Hinges. Think about how many hinges are in the room you're in RIGHT. NOW.ย
You are wise my friend, like a fortune cookie ๐ฅ ย
Real estate/development. Takes a long time to build the network but then I saw what my buddy makes getting to basically triple dip on deals compared to what I make in SaaS. Almost started crying
Couldn't have said it better. Preach brother โ๐ผ
Real Estate would be my next step.ย ย
Absolutely. I believe SaaS AE's would make great real estate people. They leverage the same type of skills (process, expectations, marketing).ย
Any particular type? If I had more of the hands on skills required, I'd rehab and flip.
Luxury Yatchs
That's a cool businessย
Right!?ย Being near boats and the water all the time.ย Yup!
Vaccines for the latest pandemic.
Currently business equipment and supplies.ย
I've always been interested in surgical, but not sure how I'd be in an OR. Sensitive to smell ๐

Interesting! ย
Medical is definitely intriguing ๐งย

I'm going to the OR and putting in knees all day. Would love it. But would lose much of my work-time flexibility, so I don't see myself doing it.
I hear that, I feel choked if I don't have that flexibility - especially selling at a SaaS startup.ย
Happy hunting brother ๐ฏย

I think selling franchises would be cool. Maybe for a franchise or multiple.ย
Interesting ๐ช๐ผ
Feet pics
Hahahaha high value product... depending I guess
That's a firstย
lolย
Outdoor Apparel - Patagonia, Fjall Raven, Mountain Hardware, etc...
Stocks & Bonds.ย It's a legal ponzi-schemeย
Wiseย
Wine or beer - Solid it before and my end goal is to own a winery! Sidenote: I sell IaaS + PaaS now but close enough
Fine Art
Sick
I'd say Gamestop shares, but my hands are made of diamonds
Coffee and 3D printers
why's that?ย
I would *adopt* puppies, all of them, while living at my beachfront ranch with all the land and place for them to run around. Dream of this on the daily.ย
That's the dream - but to leave the war room?
I would go back to timeshare. I loved living in the resorts and making money at the same time.

I'd like to potentially sell for motivational speaking conferences, you'd get to see all the big guns on the big stage all year round. Would be a great atmosphere I think. Someone like success resources maybe?ย
That's creative!
Medical devices
agreed
Suppose it would depend on the state (Australia) I lived - Victoria we are in a housing boom - Plaster Board!
I would want to sell something that allows me to close a client and then continue to make money off them week over week or month over month.
I guess examples of this would be a Cisco or Granger rep. You build your book of business then bill them and get commission every time they make additional orders.ย
Would be interested if there are any other roles like this people would recommend.

I have a family member that sells springs for manufacturing machines. I think selling something that manufacturing automation machines need would be lucrative.ย
financial services. just such a high turnover rate.
Nice๐ฅ
The real question is what the hell would you do with yourself if you could get out of sales?
You deserve comish on that
Now that is THE question. I'd love to make a change but have no idea what else I would enjoy that would also pay the bills and then some.
