Hello! I hope everyone’s accomplishing the goals they’ve set out for the day.
Im an 18 years young inspiring sales representative inside the car community.
I have a beautifully inclined gift of the gab, plus i love conversations!
I seek professional development throughout my sales career whilst i build my titanium strength portfolio.

That being said, what should i learn first & foremost?
Plus are there any recommended sources to help get a grasp on “the world” of car sales?

Excluding independent marque specialist dealers of high-end cars, my experience is that most sales people are ill-informed to answer questions more complicated than a basic walkthrough.

Know the cars and the brand that you sell, and understand how they work. Live and breathe cars, and be prepared to answer everything from how variable displacement works to “how many cup holders does it have.”
