I love beer, I have been homebrewing for a few years and worked as an assistant in a few breweries. I want to find a way to make money at it. Is there a way to get into craft beer sales and is there money to be made in it?

I currently work as a personal trainer, so I have people skills and I worked as a brewer so I have beer knowledge.

What should I do?

First thing you should do is get to know what brands your local distributors pour. Learn them, then apply there. It is much easier to get on with a distributor. Put in your time there, and do your best to get to know the brewery(s) you want to work for. When they have a position, they'll probably let you know. And working as a brewery rep is largely about managing a distributor's sales team, so you need to know the distribution side. Good Luck.
