If he is as comfortable selling to businesses as he is with individuals, he might should consider the promotional advertising business. He could start part-time, while keeping his current job. If he likes this industry, he could keep it as a supplemental income or at some future point give up employee status and operate his own business from home full-time.

I discovered this industry 23 years ago, and converted to full-time self-employed 20 years ago. I find I really prefer selling in volume, instead of the onesies and twosie sales of retail. I also enjoy working with many of my buyers over the long haul. I have several customer who have been buying from me for 18 to 22 years.

I have helped dozens of others launch and grow their own promotional advertising dealership.
