[eric81]

I finally got a job, and it is for Toyota! I now sell Toyota's! How sweet is that? If anyone has any Q's about options, acessories, or anything like that, pm me and I will see what I can do. No promises and no discounts, but I will gladly be a good face for Toyota, to all of their loyal customers.

congrats! pass YW cards to everyone looking at yarii :)

might help with them making decisions :) I know alot of people on the board have decided to buy one because of the info here :)

[Thirty-Nine]

Good luck. I know it's a very hard market right now for car sales. Hopefully you'll do well!

Yaris World CARDS?!? I don't have any... how do I get some? I mean, besides getting them made myself? Also, Toyota is the #1 selling car in USA right now, and have the smallest net loss of any company... AND they have over 50 billion dollars in cash and sellable items incase they do start to go down. Not like GM and other american makers who put it all in stocks and make believe bank accounts. Not that a Ford Mustang isn't a good car, it's just not fuel efficient or overly reliable.

Here's one example for you

[BailOut]

I'm glad you found a job, especially during this recession, but guard your karma. Dishonesty, trickery and deceit are all things that weigh heavily on one's conscience but they are also the primary tools belonging to a car salesman.

Please read Confessions of a Car Salesman and decide right now where your boundaries are.

Have you ever work as a car sales person
It is one of the most rewarding jobs , i have ever had ,
and i don't mean finacially

[YarisSedan]

Just a warning selling cars is not all its cracked up to be. I used to be a car salesman. Hours are harsh working 10 hours a day and on weekends. And if your pay is based on commission so even if you sell a few cars some cars only are a 100 dollar comission. About 1/3 of car salesman pretty much end up getting minamum wage since its either comission or minumum wage whichever is better. Not minimum wage plus a comission bonus.

Especially now its really tough. You will notice many salesman come and go. Only advice i can give you is wear lots of sunscreen cause you will find out the hard way afte ra few days you should have.

Don't be shy stay up front and get ready to greet people. You have to be a little pushy but not too pushy. Most poeple wont give you the light of day. Don't really rely on other salesman to help you out cause to them you are just more competition.

And lastly try to sell used cars over new cars cause there is higher comission rate. You could potentially make about a grand on a used car but only 100 dollars selling a new car.

Gook luck.

[silver_echo]

it also depends on how your dealership is run... i worked sales at a dealer in my area, but quit when they told me to lie to customers about problems that i found with the vehicle... found out just this last spring that over christmas, that dealer was closed that the owner was arrested for tax evasion, and the employees that were employed at the time did not receive any pay for the work that they did up until the end...

[MadMax]

Don't let the naysayers discourage you...it may be a challenging job, but with the right attitude you'll do fine!

All the best!

Congratz!

While all the info about the business is great. Take the moment to pat yourself on the back. While they say 90% of us who want to work have jobs, there is still a struggling 10% who don't have jobs. Congrads! Work hard, learn what you can, and make the most out of the opportunity. Always, remember there are 10% of the "wanting to work" population who would be thrilled to be in your shoes. Good luck.
