The federal O*NET occupation index lists this as related to your kind of work, because the two share skills and day-to-day activities. It is a match on the work itself, not a record of people moving between them.
We keep those labels apart because they are different strength claims, and none of them means we watched individual people make the move.
Routes that already pay more than sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products are left out, because those are side moves rather than ways in. So are routes needing more schooling than you told us about.
