Getting a Car Dealersip Sales Job

Look up what a "Buy Here Pay Here" dealership is (hint: its the "NO CREDIT NO DOWN PAYMENT NO ASSETS NO PROBLEM" guys). You don't want to work for them.

He means go work at a chain (Autonation) or other franchise dealership, not Pajeet's clunkers 2 go.

>how much volume do they do
You don't want a small dealership and bigger isn't always better, but it often is.

>Google reviews
You'll mostly see the most positive and most negative reviews because those are the customers most motivated to post reviews. It still makes weeding out bad ones easy

>which local dealer has the largest inventory
Not always the best indicator because they might not be moving units, but it typically is

>how happy are the salesmen and employees
If you're applying and it's a dinky place with unhappy employees it's a bad place

Thank you.

And thank you.

Yeah, I didn't explicitly state this, but buy here pay here's are hell. New franchises are nice.

Op,

I work in sales, not car though but i wanted to chime in.

If you can separate your needs from your customers and understand the dynamic of the relationship you'll do just fine. People come to you to buy a car, thats a strong warm lead -- some of us salesfolk get no leads.

Its all about the value you give your customer, if shes a pregnant mother find out about why she wants the mini van, and go deeper than surface level. You need to drill down to whats important to the customer, and then you can deliver. If you start out on features or sale of the month or yata yata you'll come off as a pushy salesman (the reason people hate dealerships so much).

Good luck Op, sales is cake when you're genuine and hardworking.

Imagine that, not being a stiff asshole works in business. Never understand brainlets that “walk away” from negotiation
