I am currently in a sales job. I love certain aspects of it and hate others. I need a job with freedom, one where I can be out and about and make decent money. I want to look into a new career path but I have no idea where to begin. Are there jobs out there that offer the freedom and flexibility of sales without the cold calling? I am great when it comes to the face to face meeting but feel I lack ability with cold calling? Any suggestions? Please help!!

Choose the cold contact option, but not via telephone, make it via writing, with a cold contact cover letter:

80% of the jobs are not actually made public.

bout the career change, make the change if you feel like, but have in mind the transferable skills you can use in a prospective position.
