Career migration to Appian after 11 years in Sales / BD roles?

Question

Hello all, 
 I have around 11 years of sales / BD work experience and I am thinking of migrating my career to Appian. With no exposure to coding / technical platforms, does this seem to be a wise decision? I am based out of India.

No harm ever in developing a skill. All you ever get is wiser and more well-rounded. You could get another job in sales that utilizes Appian, and gain experience in that role that leads you to more work related to Appian. 
 Eventually, you say you've been on a few projects and done some Appian, the phone might not ever stop ringing. 
 Learn all you can, get a Community Edition, and make things. A portfolio of quality work can go a long way, and your prior experience will always serve you well in Appian. 
 Best of fortunes to you.
