I don't see why not, you will have very transferable skills. It's just about being able to identify those skills you have gained from your 14 years experience and looking at how you would apply them to a sales role

Grocery Merchandiser, is a great way to start with us. This involves working with Supermarkets rather than independents, the reps you may have seen, where you’re skills will be valued. You will get great training and support and use this time to explore your career path. As a trainer I’ve seen many progress quickly with this experience.
