Advice on Getting a job in the Car Sales Industry for a 20 yr old College Student and the Money that comes in!?
I am 20, graduated high school in 2008 and im currently in College finishing up my basics and working on a degree in Sales/Marketing . I’m looking to land a job in the Part time job in car-sales industry, but i hear its Hard work and its really a Full-time type Job, but i strong believe i can balance the job and my coursework, possible? I have some sales experience because i’ve worked in retail sales and Ive done credit sales in retail (getting customers to apply for charge cards), though I do have the people skills and professionalism to make a great salesman. Most dealerships I’ve applied for say they are willing to train. I had an interview at Car Max and some other local dealerships Today I went and dropped off my resume at one, then went to another and filled out an application there, then picked up an application from another dealership and will fill it out and drop it off tomorrow. So I’m hitting quite a few places which I think will help my chances of landing a job. The only concern I have is getting my foot in the door. So, what do I do to set myself apart from other applicants with sales experience? I hear the PAY IS Hourly Plus Commisson, So if im working 30hr wks and getting /hr plus 20% commissons i should be making alot of $$$$$$$ in the process. so is it all really this easy if i master the dealership trainings and dynamics of the car sales or is this impossible? PLZ ALL ADVICE AND COMMENTS ARE WELCOME. ESPECIALLY EXPERIENCED CAR SALESMAN!
