Car Sales - Tired of Working 60 to 70 Hours Standing on a Concrete Lot by Nick
J. Lang
I keep running into people I know from the car business that are
tired of putting up with the hassle of selling every day to make chump change
and have to start over from scratch with new prospects. The dealership keeps
most of the money made while they do most of the work. Just when they think they
are building up a nice pool of clients that will refer friends and come back to
purchase future vehicles, they lose them to another dealership that just moved
into town.
Consumers are getter smarter and harder to sell. It is just
too easy for them to find what a car should be worth when it is new or used, and
even find other cars for sell at better prices on Craigslist, Ebay, and other
online sites where deals on cars for sell can be found.
It is too easy
for them to use that information and negotiate you down and out to where you
lose almost all of your commissions if you still want to make a
sale.
They are exhausted with the battle of working till their joints
ache standing around on an asphalt lot praying that somebody will step onto the
lot just so they can fight over that customer with other sales reps like a pride
of lions hunting a wounded gazelle.
They are sick of losing deals to
their own dealership's sales reps while they were on lunch break or a day off
when the customer came back looking for them.
If you were offered a
$70,000 base salary as well as an additional $300 for each sell you made, I
would not blame you for wanted to stay where you are. That would never happen
though. They keep selling you on what a great deal you have being able to have
customers come in from the dealership paying for the advertising,
etc.
But regardless of what the dealership does in advertising, fancy
balloons, special offers, etc., those vehicles will not sell themselves. You go
for a test drive with your customers and answer their questions for what seems
like an eternity. You know they are interested, but just can't make up their
mind. You can't pressure them because you might lose the deal. They end up
wanting to think about it because they want to go over their finances with their
spouse fashion designer chenximei901. They come back the next day and want to
test drive it again with their spouse. You let them and then answer more
questions. They tell you about what other better deals they found online and
that their mechanic said they should not pay your price unless you agree to fix
something first. You do all of this work and then have them back out last minute
and buy something on Ebay or Craigslist.
Even if you were to make a sale
on a $70,000 vehicle, will you make more than $300?
You are at the mercy
of the car lot. If nobody shows up, you have nobody to sell to.
Your back
and feet ache and throb at the end of a long day.
You are away from home
more than you would like to be.
As a child, when people asked you what
you wanted to be when you grew up, did you tell them, "I want to stand around on
a concrete parking lot for 70 hours a week waiting for people to show up that I
can convince to just be happy settling for buying a sub-par vehicle because they
can't afford the one they really want."
It is getting harder and harder
to make car sales. Especially with our economy being how it is with major
dealerships closing their doors Louis

You need to take a look at starting a home based internet
business. The industry is growing at an exponential rate and you can be a part
of it.
