I accepted a job offer
My first "real" job! I have accepted an offer to work at a Dodge dealership. So I go and fill out all the paper work on Monday, and then hopefully I'll start working shortly thereafter. It's a draw pay system--I don't really know how that will go--but I just want the experience more than the actual cash so when I go to a dealership I really want to work at, I can say I have experience.
So if you need a Dodge in western Mass, you could PM me or something...

Re: I accepted a job offer
Congrats on the job Aubs.
I was doing sales for Nissan back in 89' for about a year and it was a fun job. You can make an excellent living if you have the drive in you. There'll be some slow periods too so be prepared for some depression. I remember breaking a record by selling over 20 Pathfinders in April, but when May came around, it was a struggle to even sell 2. It's a rollercoaster ride.

Congrats on the new job. Keep us posted on how it actually works out. I've always thought that selling cars/trucks would be fascinating.

Do not take short cuts when sellling!
Save for those slow months, like Dennis has said.
Be upfront and don't beat around the bush when talking to your clients.
Most people will say that being a car salesman is a job you get when you can't get a job. But there are few who can make damn good money at it if they work hard. I sold Chev, Olds and Jeeps. I Made excellent money at it, the money I made from it and stashed away helped me to have more fun after I retired (at age 40) from being a Fed.
I wish you well, but don't forget about your love of skiing!

I sold cars for a few years starting when I was 19. Great money for a young guy and the career possibilities are endless. Congrats.
