It takes a certain type of guy who can do what it takes to sell cars. Some do it because they are good at it, others do it because it's the only job they can get after living a dodgy life so far.....and they somehow can get "ups" to buy before they leave.

There is ONE thing that counts for being successful and making a living selling cars. It isn't product knowledge, nor responding nicely to internet leads, or getting people to like you. It's getting people to leave in a different car than the one they rode in on. That's it, no more. If they leave in the car they brought, you will never see them again. Doesn't matter how much they liked you or the shit you showed them. You will NEVER seem them again.

Thanks for the inside info. And I agree, car sales is similar to the survival of the fittest. You sell or go find another job.
