You can get it at invoice!

You guys are so funny. You'll bitch back and forth forever...amazing. I just have a quick question for Nissanguy. I always wanted to get a job in car sales since I've loved cars my whole life, but it always seemed to mystify me just HOW this is done. It seems that, unless you have oodles of sales experience, they won't even look at you twice. Bottom line: how the HELL do you get a job selling cars?

I think getting the job is not hard, especially if you are outgoing and know a lot about cars. You have to be outgoing, competitive, stubborn, stingy, nice, respectful, knowledgeable and not suck up to win at this job.

that's a lot of stuff....however, I think I could pull it off. Maybe I will get my chance someday...I think it would be fun.

thanks

Basically if you can look the guy who is interviewing you in the eyes and make him like you that you already have the most important part over with!
Then you must develope skills to help you to better sell.

1st impression, meet and greet, rapore & investigation, product presentation and demonstration and then take the customer to the service department!

all can be learned except your appearance and the ability to have people like you.

I like and enjoy meeting new people and I have people who help me as I help them, and then I have the 10 % of people whom have a chip on their shoulder about sales people and car buying in general and as I said before I really dont care to work with them anyway!

YOU can be honest and still make a living in this business, in fact its the honest ones who build up a good clientel and have lots of refferals.
The shady ones never do anything truly exceptional.

hope that info helped!

[longlivetheZ]

Good info. I've always been good at getting people to like me...(I think...:P)... I've done sales before and I always did well at it. I think I'd be good at it....only prob is....I NEVER GOT AN INTERVIEW! Oh well. I just graduated from Florida Culinary Institute, so I have something to do...

[dentistnotreally]

nissan350tt,
you a salesman too?
NissanGuy76 is not a person, he is a salesman. Salesman are different species all together. We have seen 2 examples in this thread alone salesman screwing another salesman have we not ? (newzandlovinit screwed salesman for invoice(I like) and your brother getting screwed by his coworker(no coment, don't know your brother).
I rest my case.


NissanGuy76,
Let's face it you're only here cus you think you can maybe find potential customers here and that's fine, but don't jump on anyone(newzandlovinit and me) here cus he got a good deal and that is the reason I judge you the way I judge you. How well did I judge you anway ?

if we all payed sticker that "good salesman" who sells 9-12 cars a month is making $10,000 + a month off us. Why should we make you rich by selling us a car that we want to drive in ? and if you want to make a point about working 10 hrs. a day, that is your fault cus you chose your profession and you fully knew about it. You have taken that responsibility just like you have taken the responsibility of being a father and a husband so you can't say, "I got wife and kids to feed also". I hate that.

I'll do the math alright. You see, numbers don't lie unless you hide them. here is a quote from Yahoo Auto about 350z price:

invoice / sticker
Coupe $24,158 / $26,269 commission:$2,111
Enthusiast $25,683 / $28,249 commission:$2,566
Performance $27,664 / $30,429 commission:$2,765
Touring $28,718 / $31,589 commission:$2,871
Track $30,627 / $34,079 commission:$3,452

you sayed you get paid what is left between invoice and sticker did you not? I'll be nice, let's say the dealer gets $500 from each car sales but that still leaves you and the finance guy plenty commission to devide from and I didn't add any options,extended warranty,trade-ins, dealer add ons, or any other devious ways you make money off from. Granted you're not selling high dollar cars all the time but you get my drift...
bottom line, we all know we shouldn't pay sticker. but then again some of us do and than there are others who like to be spanked on the ass.

I have a scumbag called scrotum but I'm not a scumbag. far from it.
And jesus you haven't got it yet ? I told you I'm not a dentist really,atleast not yet but yes space vehical tech would make me balls.

I thought I was acting very professionally(he he) and to the point(ha ha) and what does happen when you look at yourselt hard at the mirror ?
I mean can you scare the jesus out of your soul?
why don't you try that and tell me know so we'll both know.

[dentistnotreally]

longlivethez,
you want to sell cars?
you know my thoughts about salespeople...
sell an 18 wheeler if you really want to sell cars, now we're talking gookoo commissions...
all you need to sell is 6 a year and you're set for the who year!

[longlivetheZ]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. 18 wheelers would be sweet ass. I always wanted to drive one of those things. Especially ever since I saw one do the ULTIMATE brake stand.

[wicked350Z]

i paid 31,000 out the door for my enthusiast

You just showed what a dumbass you really are!
If Car salesman made that kinda Money everyone who could sell, would sell!

I have no Problem sleeping at night nor looking myslef in the mirror, but I certainly have no respect for people like yourself who talk out their ass and then prove they dont know what they are talking about!
Im not edmunds or any other place so I wont break down my pay scale to some punk "Joe College Dentist wannabe".
You are not smarter than I so do not try to belittle me with your morale speeches.
Dentist it's plain and simple, You are a very square, intellectual type whom doesnt feel good about himself so you go into a forum and try to bash others.
I dont need to go to forums to get customers because if I did I would tell you that you are a Loser and need to go ahead and get your degreee in tormenting people who have ridiculed you with your drill.

I wish you a long life filled with Dental assistants as ugly as you are!

P.S. I really dont give a damn what you think!


As for all others, I am sorry for my behavior in this thread but he started it

[longlivetheZ]

HA....NOOO...HE STARTED IT.....

[dentistnotreally]

if you're not here trying to sell cars than stop advertising youself here.

I'm more like Joe dentist will be. I'm starting forth year this fall.

I think it's too late for you to apologize you have shown your true colors.
have I used any derogatory term to describe you ? nope.
I am calm and collected and you're losing it.

you are a true salesman if you can go sleep well at night after ripping of countless customers.

you yourself have said that you make money that is sticker minus invoice have you not ??? now you're saying otherwise???
somebody is not telling the truth here or maybe someone is plain getting screwed !
this is what I think, I think you are lying or you have 3 dicks up your ars, one big fat one that belongs to the dealer you work for and one just as fat and round and lenghty one that is your managers' and one medium one that belongs to the finance person. What have we got ? salesman screwing salesman.

p.s. remember me when you visit your dentist and ask him what he drives.

Congrats on getting the car at invoice, that would be a sweet deal.

As for salesmen - they aren't all bad but for the most part they are useless. Before the Internet, salesmen were needed because for the most part car information was not readily available to the consumer. The only real source of information was to talk to your salesman, contact the manufacturers head office, magazines or word-of-mouth. With the Internet you have full access to everything you could possibly want to know about the car you want. What does the salesman really offer you? In my opinion not much.

The salesmen I've encountered do not really know their products in-depth. I've gone into dealerships and asked a variety of questions and got the classic response, "I'll have to find that out for you." If all you are there for is to tell me how much torque and horsepower a car has, well I'm sorry but since I can read, I'll just get the information from the brochure, thank you.

Where I live, when looking at expensive cars (above $40k CDN) salesmen refuse to let you test drive the car unless you put down a deposit. Excuse me? I don't think so.

Dealerships would make a lot more money if they cut out the middle-man, i.e. the salesman. Instead of paying someone commission they could invest in a really fantastic set of brochures with detailed information and the "sales pitch." Obviously they'd still need staff to park the cars, take people out on test drives, and place the orders but they don't need to be on commission for that. They could then lower the price of their vehicles by a certain margin.

The dealerships, from what I've seen, can make quite a good deal of money on "extras" i.e. skirt packages, spoilers, etc not to mention making money off of service appointments.

So maybe I'm missing something but what does a salesman really have to offer?

[NissanGuy76]

Hey dentist, you really are quite the Faggot arent you!?
You are over here talking about dicks in arses and all kinds of wierd shit.

You my friend are a Loser. You came in here screaming about how you hate salesman and how you hate me!
Screw yourself buddy boy, Nobody needs your shit.
As for me saying that- YOU ARE WRONG!
I said I dont make money off a car that is sold @ invoice.

Why dont you take your big words up to a salesman and see how far you get you PRICK!

Keep responding and I will keep throwing back at you.
You dont know what the hell you are talking about all you know is what your fat ass slob of a father told you growing up.

P.S. nobody gives a shit about your "about to be a dentist ass"
Dentists and Doctors are athe biggest rip off artist in the world.
Be rest assured if you came on the lot and started talking crazy shit I would just whoop your ass on the spot.
Keep talking fucker, you dont bother me.

[dentistnotreally]

NissanGuy76,
you've had alot of aggression in you for a long time haven't you ? We can tell. Maybe you've had the fat ass slob of a father when you were going up telling you things like,"son, when you grow up I want you to be a car salesman cus tat's the shit". Where is he now ? is he still a fat ass slob ?

you seem to only remember what you want to remember so let me quote you what you said earlier, "I only make money off of the profit of the car wich is the difference between MSRP and invoice". and another quote just to show everyone what kind of a salesman you are if they haven't figured it out already,"I can't stand more than someone like yourself who is just out there to grind out a deal." Tell you the truth you don't make any sense when you write most of the times......10th grade too hard for you? so you flunked out?
Anyhow, MSRP is sticker price is it not ? or is sticker price much higher than MSRP ? if it is, than that should get you even bigger commission shouldn't it ? are you capable of following this or do I need to use drawings and examples for you ?

I know you joined this forum for free advertisement and to sell 350z to unsuspecting customers but you pretty much burned up the bridge if there ever was one.
And I did a magnificent job of bring you out like an ace prosecution lawyer cross examining a criminal. Case closed,my job is done.

p.s. you couldn't hurt a fly, you're just a loud mouth curser.
