    Sold cars in my early 20s but after I got married and had 3 children.. i needed more consistent income so I got into insurance adjusting. I miss sales because there's something special about getting a customer who came in COLD and all of a sudden you got them sweating to buy a car.

      So far this week , it was me and a couple of other new hires and so far we don’t do anything out of the ordinary. so far we stay in our computer desks (if we want) and do training by choice, familiarize ourselves with the car websites, look at inventory, and anything related to the job as long as you’re being productive, we can roam around the building and walk around outside to get a feel of everything. We can talk to anyone there, everyone is supportive, and the fun part is that i can test drive any and every car of my choice all day long lol. I have mad fun doing that. But this is still the first week and i just got registered into the training classes today which took 72 hours to process. So now im doing the training classes which are EASILY digestible and all on the comfort of your phone! They dont just throw you out there and if they do, consider yourself lucky because thats how you gain experience, but i ask plenty of questions and im still learning the scripts and material. But overall it’s a cool experience man. Hopefully I can update soon when i get some experience under my belt lol

    as someone who used to be on the floor, internet sales and internet sales/fleet mgr
    1. new cars are usually loser deals to the dealership... except any mark up cars (civic type r for example) there is not much meat on the bone.. every dealership is dropping their pants and whoring themselves who has cheaper price online
    2. used cars is the money maker for dealership/sales guy
    3. paying full in cash for the car do NOT MEAN ANYTHING to the dealership/sales guy
    4. we don't want the 750+ credit score people... we don't want people with under 650 credit score also..
    5. customers is NOT always right
    6. used car is a USED car... there is no guarantee of a 2nd spare key to the car
    7. if someone offer stupid or extreme low ball price for a car, i just tell them we not in the same ball park unless you want to steal the car (literally) off the lot
    8. FBI- feature, benefit, illustration
    9. 3 See(s)- See the car, See the key, See you later lol

      If you watch their website for a month or two you can see how many used cars they post per month. If 45 fresh cars listed per month probably about 50 or so total sales for the store. Most people have trade ins.

    How about how dealing with dealerships is a nightmare. Consumers have been even more screwed in the last few years of how dealerships have been marking up cars for NO other reason than greed. I do think there are some good people in sales but for the most part dealerships are a nightmare to deal with.

      Number sold is one thing, how much you make on each is another thing. 10 cars x 200 each is only 2k. 10 cars at 500 each is 5k. Varies based on each car deal and how dealer pay plan is structured.
