CAR-SALESMAN

I have a little experience.

One bit of advice might be to work on the used car side if it's a new and used lot. The used cars have more mark up which should translate into better commissions per sale.

Car salesmen, as well as many types of sales jobs take stability to grow. What I mean, is that many of the car salesmen I worked with would work one lot for a few months, then they would go to one of the other lots across town.

After staying on the same job for a 2+ years you start to get a few repeat customers that are ready to trace thier vehicle for another. These folks will be looking for you when the return. This is considered your "warm" market. It's easier to close a repeat customer than one you approached on the lot.

Build your repeat business and the car biz can be a good job.
