Day in the life of a Car Sales Person

In this informative vlog I explain what I do as a car sales consultant and what I've learned as well as depicting on how to sell a automobile. Also in anything you sell the most important key is to know your product knowledge.
Knowledge is power!

    How odd. I watch your videos and I received a call from a car dealership that I applied at months ago for an interview. I just interviewed and was offered the job with them but have until Friday to decide. And now I see this. The universe seems to have tied this all together. Well good job, Erick.

    @@blakeibibler I ended up leaving after four days because I was going to have to wait an entire month before my pay would become in-sync. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait that long for pay since I had already not been working. I didn't have enough funds to get myself through the month. Hence why I left. I was sad about it. I liked it actually but I wish I had been trained more about everything beforehand prior to actually selling. I think things would have been less nerve wracking. I'm a semi introvert. Therefore, I prefer to be very knowledgeable about something in order to feel confident about said field or position. I say give it a try. You never know if it'll be life changing, etc. I certainly want another go at the job. I think once I get my finances in check, I will return to it. I say, if you have bills have about a month or a month and half months worth of bills saved up. Also, please really ask about their pay schedule and that you make full sense of it before accepting the job. It'll save you a lot of heartache. Luckily, I kept my other job in case things didn't go well. Give it a try and honestly, you never know! Good Luck! It'd be cool to discuss this together! I did sell one car on my third day. I felt very accomplished.

Car dealerships only have themselves to blame. Show me a dealer where I can walk in, point to a car and ask how much is it? No, sit down, give us all your info, wait 2 hours for 5 different price scenarios.

    @@kaykay5862172 I worked for a CDJR dealership and I can tell you first hand why they do that. Depending on the car and time of year, a certain vehicle will have different incentives, cash bonuses etc. The online price is going to use all the discounts to show the least price possible( you will never qualify for all the incentives, cash bonuses). This price helps there algorithms when they post these vehicles to third party websites(sorting by best deals possible). The car gets a lot more traffic and believe it or not someone who was looking at a scatpack charger online for $44,000 and then come in and end up paying $54,000 out the door. Dealerships get away with it because people will buy them anyway. Until people stop letting it happen and stop buying for more then they should, dealerships will keep up these practices.

    One thing I never realized is the opportunity after car sales. I left car sales strictly due to the lack of growth opportunity as I wanted to move into management or finance. When I left, swear to god I got every email back from every sales consultant job I applied to the next week. Cellular sales, RV sales, motorcycles. But I already accepted a position. Service advising which is pretty close to car sales. Instead you sell service, parts, labor and build great relationships with consumers. Even if you don’t like car sales, it opens the door to growth. Some people like the life style, meaning money. But when you have a family, it doesn’t work out. I will say, those who stuck around as salesman, remained as salesman and often times they were divorced.

    Great video! Im a female in my 50s and just now a month ago became a car sales person. I worked in the higher education system prior for 24 years. This is the most fun job ever, but in my opinion this is a young persons job or someone that has the stamina for the long hours and stress that goes along with it. It’s not bad stress. It’s more like an adrenaline rush stress. It’s really great, but not sure how long I’ll be able to keep it going. It’s a very bi-polar job. The highs when selling make you feel in invincible and like youre on top of the world, the lows when its dead and no foot traffic or phone calls, are very depressing. God willing I’ll keep at it for a bit and do well.

    So our system pretty much calculates the cost of the vehicle depending on where the resident lives due to tax purposes. The rest of the cost apply’s to all the customers including the msrp, processing fee, destination fee and tags/title. Also to try to give the best deal we give a lot incentives to get the best price depending on each individual’s situation.

    Regardless of how good the deal is you should always have gap insurance in my opinion. The only rule I suggest you don’t have it is if you already put down more than 20% for down payment or you plan on paying it fast. If anything have it for the first 2 years at least because you’ll be underwater with the car. I’ve had a few customers owing $5-10k because they didn’t have gap and their insurance wouldn’t pay the rest. I don’t recommend extended warranties either but if I did it would only be for European vehicles. I hated working on them and parts are expensive asf

    lol... maybe in 1982; but these days you clearly do not understand how car dealerships make money these days. A vast majority of a car dealerships profits come from the "back end" of the deal... they make money when you finance the vehicle (the bank pays them commissions for steering the loan to them). Saying I am paying CASH just guaranteed that you will not get the best deal. Letting them believe you may finance the vehicle with them makes them more likely to be willing to lose money on the front end of the deal since they can make money in the back end. By telling them you are paying cash you lose that leverage so they know they have to make all the money on the front end of the deal since there is no back end profits to be made.

    Advice for any car buyer..... MAKE OFFERS "OUT THE DOOR" Do not concentrate on monthly payments... get an app to break down car payments... Have your offer in your head before you sit down.

I have accomplished nothing in this life. I wish I was rich. I don't know anything about sales. I went to school to become an animator. I can't seem to get hired anywhere in this industry. Did you start car sales fresh out of high school, or did you go to school for it?

I found another one 5 hours away that was 28k I didn’t do no credit app until I had agreed to the terms. Any time you buy a car make sure you know the details and shop around. I also bought when the models where hitting the lots so they wanted to get the 14s off the lots.

    That has more to do with manufacturer rebates than dealership pricing. You also must understand that all models have different trim levels which upgrade many things about a vehicle and increase it's price and value. Dealership are going to be within $1,000 of price of each other because of competition and the fact that dealers list their prices on the internet for all to see. There is very little wiggle room to negotiate. The cost to run a dealership is way more expensive than the average consumer understands.

    I'm guessing the management has not been upfront with you on much they actually make on a vehicle. There is a markup or profit. Then there is the residual/holdback. And other occasional incentives. What really turns me off to a dealership is silly ripoff add ons like paint and fabric protectant or the vin number glass etch. Then there is the "processing" fee scam. Lol. $799 at your dealership! Let me ask every salesman, manager, and owner, how would you feel if when checking out at the grocery store, the cashier added $10 for "processing" your purchase? You know, to cover the cost of them doing what they're paying someone to do in the first place! What a joke.

Our pay plan is bonus-based, for example 10 cars = 1k bonus, 20 cars = $5k bonus. Then you also get 200$ mini's for every car you sell. If you do the math 20 cars = $9k MINIMUM. We also Markup G-Wagons, Maybachs, and other models. The Maybach's and G-wagons get up to a 50k Markup. So if you sell one of those babies full pop that's a $12.5k commission off one car.

My only problem is I literally know barely anything about cars. However; even though it’s a lot of hours would you say it’s worth it? I just want to make money quick to buy someone assets and invest in the stock market with my friends. My real passion is to just read philosophy and psychology but I don’t want to go to college and I’d rather learn those things on my own through books.

    Not anymore and just be you! If they are willing to give you an interview they most likely need people on the floor. Just be confident and go kill it dude!

    how do auto salesman start out with no experience? i got my license a few weeks ago and have submitted for 30+ jobs and haven’t gotten any responses, not even rejection letters. most jobs say 1+ years of experience required, but even the ones that say entry level or training provided haven’t gotten back to me. idk if it matters but im in socal so there’s a lot of dealerships to apply for, but still nothing. what am i doing wrong
