I admire you for your courage to break into sales. But be aware there is so much ageism out there its untrue. I have bags of experience a good results driven CV and I know for a fact I am being rejected on age for several positions. In a recent interview the hiring sales manager said to me he was worried about the age gap between myself and the other salesmen. I said if your asking me what I have in common with 20 or 30 somethings the answer is nothing In any case who cares what they I think I don't care. I only care about what my prospect thinks the day I honestly believe someone didn't but from me because of my age I will quit selling. Funny thing was this guy himself was in his fifties. I leaned over took my cv off him and walked out. It wasen't one of those instances where he was trying to get a rise out of me, to test me. I think he was just so weak to make a decision that might be questioned. In other words no balls. Sales are never made in a sales office, they are made in a customers office helping them satisfy their business objectives. Good luck in your job hunt just keep going and don't let the b*s*a*ds grind you down. :-)
