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: percussionist (Jan 06, 2009 11:17 am) I heard this has now changed but they still wouldn't take me. You would think they would be happy to take my money?

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

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jan 06, 2009 2:37 pm) I regularly get younger clientele in with fancy wear, nice watches and bling chains who unfortunately can't finance a ham sandwich due to horrible credit. They spent their credit (when they had it) and money on looking nice, instead of repaying what is owed.
