30/60/90-day action plan

Small, testable steps before you commit to a bigger career move.

First 30 days

Map your transferable evidence

Turn the overlap between these roles into a practical evidence list you can use in conversations, applications, or an internal move.

• Compare your recent Models and Sales Demonstrators work against the main Motor Vehicle and Vehicle Parts Salespersons task list.
• Collect measurable outcomes, tools used, stakeholders supported, and problems solved.
• Read current Motor Vehicle and Vehicle Parts Salespersons job ads and highlight repeated requirements.

Days 31–60

Build the missing signals

Focus on low-risk proof points: short projects, targeted learning, shadowing, or portfolio evidence before making a major move.

• Choose one target task to practise first: Determining customer requirements and advising on product range, price, delivery, warranties and product use and care.
• Fill any qualification, licence, tool, or domain gaps that appear repeatedly across target-role ads.
• Ask someone in the target field to review your evidence list and identify the weakest claim.

Days 61–90

Test the transition in the market

Validate whether the path works before committing: run small applications, networking conversations, or internal project trials.

• Create a Motor Vehicle and Vehicle Parts Salespersons-oriented CV version that reframes your Models and Sales Demonstrators experience around target outcomes.
• Apply for a small batch of adjacent roles or internal opportunities and track response quality.
• If responses are weak, revisit the highest-frequency requirement you cannot yet evidence.
