Replying to: joel0622 (Jan 05, 2009 1:38 pm) I totally agree. It's just another way to make a buck. I paid $7.50 to find out that I had excellent credit. I knew that by the fact that I pay my bills on time and in full. On the other hand, what car salesman (or any salesman) is going to take my word for it? I feel the same way about college entrance tests and teacher license tests. These poor young people, or their parents, pay hundreds of dollars to prove that they have a brain. A school transcript can show that for much less money. The NTS in Princeton has made billions over the years, not to mention deciding the fate of so many lives. It is one of the biggest rip off schemes in American economic history. Richard

Replying to: jonanong (Jan 06, 2009 3:59 am) In response to your question, I would suggest trying to go high-end. If that doesn't work, find a volume store and work on your sales game. Practice makes perfect and you have a lot more practice at high volume stores. There are negatives that go along with volume, but your main focus should be finding a dealership that has relatively low turnover and gives you a good 'feeling' when you in. Picking a good dealership is more important than picking a good product. Many high line stores may not hire greenpeas. Low line stores will typically send you to training for a week to get you acclimated. Put simply, high line stores are typically your best option. Good products, qualified clients with less hours.

Replying to: madmanmoo (Jan 06, 2009 9:19 am) I was hoping you would be one of the ones to respond, seeing as how you worked in both types of enviroments. Any tips for the interview in high end dealers? I thought I would post my question here because I am going to sell cars just hadn't decided which type. Once I do though I will glady contribute stories from the "front lines", which it seems to me that this forum is lacking. I believe IsellHondas is in the same region as me, Bellevue, WA, if this is so any advice or info. on the local area dealers. Jonanong
