Started selling cars three years ago and have made six figures ever since. I love selling cars. And I do it with integrity and not slimy sales tactics. Which makes it even better.
@@jonathonwright525 50k year just to chill and work outside, conversing with customers, getting to ride around in fresh whips…yeah that sounds “awful”.
People look down on me because I’m a bartender at 33 but I make 125 to 200k a year bartending at the airport. You can make good money in all types of sales.
@@chafnutgaming0003 im thinking of applying at a dealership right now like mercedez since im a person that has worked at a shop and constantly works on his cars as a 18-20 im interested in hustling it
I tried selling cars in my early twenties. I had just gotten out of the military and was trying to find my way. It was truly the hardest job I’ve ever had. I was at the dealership by 8am Monday-Saturday and rarely ever left before 10pm. We had a flat commission of $250 a car new or used didn’t matter. I was lucky to sell 2 cars a week. I was horrible and nearly starved. Only one salesman ever really got sales because he was the hometown salesman. Everyone knew him. He felt sorry for me and gave me some overflow at a split which saved me most weeks. Never again.
That’s called making excuses make phone calls get more leads actually close out more deals I was brand new into car sales in two weeks I was selling more cars then 8 out of 10 salesman at that dealer and I kept doing it for a whole year until I left
Ive gotten into car sales and its going great...i havent made less than $6k in any month and my best month i cleared $14k. I only work fridays and weekends too. Its great.
I've been selling cars for 4 years now, and it's changed my life giving me the ability to travel, pay my bills, own nice cars, and keep money flowing to other investments that make me more money. Better than working for $20 even $30/ per hour.
As a minor professional athlete during Covid when most sports teams weren’t playing I needed to do something to make money for my family. While training in the early morning I sold cars from 12-6 at a local dealership having no prior experience or knowledge in sales or the auto industry. I made $150,000 in 8 months and loved my co-workers. When COVID restrictions lifted and I went back to being a professional athlete the dealership kept me in a part time remote position and has continued to treat me like family. There are bad dealerships out there, but the blanket stigma about the job simply isn’t true. I’m blessed to have fallen on hard times and found some great people and great opportunities.
Im trying myself this guy is not lyingg. I had a friend who graduated highschool earlier than me he went from not wanting to do anything dropping out of college to car sales. 2 years later he’s averaging over 130k plus a year in sales off of “just trying something different “
@@jonathonwright525no he went higher then became the youngest salesman at aston martin he only elevated. Negativity comes when you manifest it which is the total opposite of what he did 🤌
@@webguy943yea COVID time people were making crazy good money in car sales. I made 250k during COVID but the market is shifting so it’s going back to normal where you will have good car salesmen make around 120k - 150k and then great salesman which is probably 1 to 2 guys in the dealership making 200k plus
What a valuable lesson this man has learned Anyone who says that about car sales doesn’t understand the first thing about what sales should be I am 37 and been in sales for nearly all of my post college career.
Yeah the middle man making 6 figures!! I honestly love it tbh I can up sell anyone that comes on the lot and it feels great afterwards when I clear 1200 dollar for one car!
just a piece of advice, youre still young and brighter future is ahead of you, dont nail down so hard on other brand, just promote what you have now coz nobody knows soon youll be crossing on other lane like japanese or european brands that might give you better opportunity. goodluck and be better and better each and everyday.
it's fascinating that what you're saying really tells us more about you than about the job. you're competitive, and you like your pay to match your work effort more than anything else. a lot of us are not like that. for myself as an example: as long as my pay is enough to cover the bills and let me have fun, I don't care how much it is. what I need in work is to have fun and feel like I'm doing good things for others, and sales doesn't do that for me. I'd actively tell people not to buy stuff that won't actually improve their lives. the effort I put into my work isn't determined by my pay, and it won't ever be. instead, I put effort in when I care about the place I work for. i worked at a shop that didn't take care of me and didn't care about me, and actually getting work done was the hardest thing in the world because I just wanted to go home the whole day. where I am now, the shop takes care of me in a handful of ways, and I care about the people that I work with. I put extra effort in so that the people around me have less that they have to do. instead of wanting to be making more than everyone else, I put extra work in so that we all go home happy.
Good for you! I got a degree in International Management. Turned out, I hated management. I became a salesperson in 1980 and made more money than I ever would have in corporate management. Sales positions are hard work. If you're willing to put in the effort and are flexible, you can make lots of money.
Last car salesman I dealt with was literally a criminal, a thief. He stole from me, but I got my money back by threatening to go to the state's attorney
Come see me at my dealership i'll sell you a car for a good price and ill show you all the paper work up front. My customers are not just customers they are my friends and I want to help people anyway I can.
I work sales and have for 12 years. Started in jewelry amd now in biotech. Yes, sales is one of the best paying industries if you sell the right stuff.
Very true. I was a 20 year old pill junkie. I cleaned up & have been a six figure + salesperson for over 20 years. Sadly six figures isn’t what it used to be. Especially in Fairfield county CT.
The problem with the car market is it greatly depends on which dealership you go to. Because like if you’re a car sales person, at dodge you’re gonna be broke versus if you’re a car salesman at Honda.
One of the best jobs I ever had. Only stopped because I had babies and could not keep up with the hours. Ps. If you find the right salesperson who actually cares and pays attention to your needs and goals then you will never have to stress when you need another car in the future. We have your back always.
If you do it right with integrity and getting referrals you can make good money. I sell Subarus and my slowest months I still take home around 8k and my best months average around 16k. In 8 years I haven't made less than 150k per year.
@@sin4459 not necessarily, you need to keep an average but it’s always relative to the total sold by the entire dealership. If all other sales people sold 18 or more cars and you only sold 7 then they’ll look at your performance as being low but if you’re within the average of the dealership then you’re ok.
@@Painfulwhale360 yes, you have to be, selling it’s not the same as scamming. You can’t be successful in the long run if you don’t have integrity. Referrals and repeat customers are absolutely necessary to maintain a good monthly average of cars sold. You also have to consider reviews, Yelp, Website reviews, Google reviews, surveys, etc. all that can impact your income.
I stayed away from car sales!! And Started my own business!! I sell a different kind of product for construction! My lowest week I made 10k my best week I made 80k yes In one week!!! Construction life!!! It’s dirty and difficult but I can say the least I am a cocky guy who sells cars
Just got into sales.. guy before me quit after one month not being able to sell a single car.. I sold 4 in the first week. Selling jeeps is tough.. it aint honda or toyota..
I tried getting into sales right out of college and absolutely hated it, but I'm glad you've found something you love. I've found that unless you're especially naturally gifted at it you're screwed and I'll just take my regular predictable paycheck, but I respect people who can sell well without relying on selling people things they don't need.
Not into car sales but I sell solar and I gotta say it’s changed my life. I never knew I could make money this fast. I make way more than my professors in college
Selling cars was the best thing I did in my early 20’s. Prob the only good thing I did in my early 20’s. I learned so much about people. But I’m glad I’m not in it anymore
You are 100% right,,, being a salesperson with a great personality, dedication,attitude, and hard work, will change your life, I went to college but I didn't graduate, I got into the glass industry as a glass installer and salesperson and I can't complain about it, I'm happy to go to work everyday to do what I like
The algorithm loves you today man. I sold cars for a couple summers in college and loved it. Made tons of cash, and loved being able to control my income. I was the top performer every full month i worked there. I also knew then that i didnt want to worm 12 hour Saturdays and 60 hour weeks forever. It took years after school being done to make the same rate that i made selling cars. But now i get lots of PTO make great money and dont work weekends. Either way sales is sales and those skills are highly transferable
At my local dealership they fired all their salesman, my uncle is friends with the owner when tried to get my cousin to work at his shop, the owner told him he only has his daughter & nephew at the shop cause he only has sold 2 cars this month business hasn’t been doing well for a year
The keyword is your local dealer LOL. If you go to an established dealership like the non-independent ones Toyota/Honda are busy all year round. People are tired of getting screwed by higher interest at buy here / pay here spots
Some people really like sales, I did. I’ve since moved on to a different career but you get to meet a lot of interesting people and if you work somewhere good, you get to help them find the right car. I worked at one dealership where the goal was always to push them to the absolute limit on a seven year loan, and it felt bad that I was tricking people.
F YES. Moving to a dealership as a tech but have had great success as a service salesmen in previous shops and while I’d rather perform a service than sell it, money talks and I’m not taking no for an answer
Yeah, but if he smart he has savings and investments. Plus $100k * 5 years is $500,000. $60k * 5 years is $300,000. I would take a layoff and find a better job than the comfort of employment at capped wages.
I'd love to get into auto sales. I did a little as a side hustle with some flipping. Every time a position opens up at any of the dealerships here, i try and push my application and make an effort to show i want the position but doesnt seem to be working out.
I love the idea of car sales currently I’m in a good job but I can’t get passionate about it so I’m willing to lose a bit off money to do something where I have a real passion for it
Super cool video brother . I’m wanting to start working in car sales . What is some of the most important advice you would give someone starting off . Thanks!!
Tell everyone you know what you sell and where you work and to come up and say hi! When they come up try and sell them a. Car but obviously don’t do anything aleavy
I love this video ❤❤💐 because I’m going into selling my own cars and I feel like it’s easy to get up n make your own price instead of going to a job n having to just accept what your getting paid n it bare minimum 🙄😂
Car sales is not for everyone. I tried it. hated the very long hours, talking to leads that end up being a dead end. I’ll have 20 leads and only 1 will lead to a sale. It requires a TON of patience. Russ makes it seem alot easier than it actually is.
@@coyclarkk l blame myself because I was new. I was working at a Dallas high volume honda dealer. So I feel theres no reason not to make any sales. I think I don’t know how to negotiate or how to get them to come in.
I’ve tried it, it’s just not for me. First 2 months I did great and my last 4 were just a drag. Made hundreds of calls and sent videos to people but I wouldn’t get anything. But it helped me find my true calling so no complaints. If you can make it, awesome.
Car sales is one of those jobs where if you are bad at it, you'll make nothing, but if you are good at it, you'll make a fortune. The typical pay plan has larger and larger bonuses the more cars you sell.
Car sales is where it is at the hours are long tho. But it definitely better than getting paid hourly especially when you make 30% commission off one car sale! Just be a master communicator and you can make 6 figures easily!
It sounds corny to say, but I really believe sales is a life skill. I know some people think it's useless but hear me out. In almost everything you do there's a sales aspect. I gotta convince a girl to go out with me, she's obviously not going to say yes unless I can sell myself to her, to make me seem more appealing. I get pulled over, I convince the cop to not give me a ticket. And then there's the inverse, which is you as a consumer. Which we all buy things, but now you know how to respond to a sales pitch, either you're interested and want a better deal, or you're not and want them to go away. It's nice having the skills to deal with it. I agree with you Russ I work in sales and it's changed my life. I can walk into a room with people 10-20 years older than me and keep their attention. People take you seriously when you know how to sell yourself.
started selling cars at 18 years old and then at 23 started selling steel tubulars. Wouldn't trade my days on the lot for anything, told me how to sell value versus just a product.
Started selling cars three years ago and have made six figures ever since. I love selling cars. And I do it with integrity and not slimy sales tactics. Which makes it even better.
Any tip for me? Just starting
Quit lying. Sure, you'll have good years. But you're going to have 50k years as well.

Amen brother and congrats to you.
Dude selling cars was sick! I was making 80-90k while In college, driving a new truck😂 I loved it, I was by no means a poor college student haha
I love this video ❤❤💐 because I’m going into selling my own cars and I feel like it’s easy to get up n make your own price instead of going to a job n having to just accept what your getting paid n it bare minimum 🙄😂
Hey Russ, it’s Eddie! I’m about to start a car salesman job at Acura with no previous sales experience. Do you have any pointers?
I think you are amazing and very goodlooking
Great post Brotha! Very true.... Not the idiot part! 😂😅

Car sales is not for everyone. I tried it. hated the very long hours, talking to leads that end up being a dead end. I’ll have 20 leads and only 1 will lead to a sale. It requires a TON of patience. Russ makes it seem alot easier than it actually is.
The area and the dealership you work at also plays a big role.
@@coyclarkk l blame myself because I was new. I was working at a Dallas high volume honda dealer. So I feel theres no reason not to make any sales. I think I don’t know how to negotiate or how to get them to come in.
I’ve tried it, it’s just not for me. First 2 months I did great and my last 4 were just a drag. Made hundreds of calls and sent videos to people but I wouldn’t get anything. But it helped me find my true calling so no complaints. If you can make it, awesome.
Car sales is one of those jobs where if you are bad at it, you'll make nothing, but if you are good at it, you'll make a fortune. The typical pay plan has larger and larger bonuses the more cars you sell.
❤❤❤❤ fr bro I love sales I’m trying to get into car sales or maybe even solor panels🙏🤞
I think his point was that it won’t be long before this job is extinct lol.
Car sales is where it is at the hours are long tho. But it definitely better than getting paid hourly especially when you make 30% commission off one car sale! Just be a master communicator and you can make 6 figures easily!
You hit a fucking nail with ur points! 💯
Also more salesman lol. Proportion matters too, barrier to entry
im looking to go from a technician at toyota to a salesman any advice you can give?
In sales you have to be good at handling rejection. Its not for everyone but its not a bad job. Also get into a dealership that has good management.
My man made $12k in just commission (after taxes) in two months. I’m about to apply to dealerships at this point 😅😅😅
I personally cannot respect the car industry, but you're doing what you need to in order to put food on the table I can respect that
Get into F and I my guy. You’ll kill it!
Is it a good idea to get into sales as the car market is tanking? Honest question
That's pretty cool story. A buddy of mine sells cars and loves it too. Never would have thought. ...
Lots of money in any sales if you’re good!
It sounds corny to say, but I really believe sales is a life skill. I know some people think it's useless but hear me out. In almost everything you do there's a sales aspect. I gotta convince a girl to go out with me, she's obviously not going to say yes unless I can sell myself to her, to make me seem more appealing. I get pulled over, I convince the cop to not give me a ticket. And then there's the inverse, which is you as a consumer. Which we all buy things, but now you know how to respond to a sales pitch, either you're interested and want a better deal, or you're not and want them to go away. It's nice having the skills to deal with it. I agree with you Russ I work in sales and it's changed my life. I can walk into a room with people 10-20 years older than me and keep their attention. People take you seriously when you know how to sell yourself.
I have a 21 taco limited. Not sure if I should trade up or what. Any advice?
this is why i follow you!
What do you use to track and chart?
You gonna link up with Andy Elliot! That would be a sweet video
started selling cars at 18 years old and then at 23 started selling steel tubulars. Wouldn't trade my days on the lot for anything, told me how to sell value versus just a product.
