Hi Chris,

First off welcome to the car business.

It just takes some time to adjust. Almost everybody is nervous at first, but it will pass. You might try role playing with a friend to help you loosen up and get comfortable.

Best of Luck.

Hi Alesia,

Thanks for stopping and telling some of the Green Peas how great it is to sell cars for a living.

Glad to hear from you.

Hello all of you guys,
I have been selling automobiles for twenty seven years. I sell for a large Ford Dealership here in Winston Salem,NC. I guess what makes me love my job so much is the product I believe in and the people I get to meet on a daily basis. I also love to make my customers happy and my goal is to keep selling.

I just feel timid. Not scared or intimidated, or nervous. Only my GSM makes me feel a bit intimidated. I have not had many chances to meet with customers yet, but I had two come into the finance office to make deals and they (the GSM’s) just couldn’t get the numbers to match up (I TO’d to a more experience sales rep when we came inside).

I think I can do it, as everyone is friendly, helpful, and we are honest and caring. I just feel a bit like a deer in headlights when my bosses ask me to role play. They always try to make things as difficult as possible. I acknowledge customers can be difficult but….it is just weird trying to maintain constant control of a conversation.

I am 25, with a finance degree. I am personable, but I haven’t had to ’sell myself’ to the extent a car salesman does. I am brand new; I am a greanpea, at a Toyota dealership. I am able to relate with everyone, I know my first vehicle inside and out, but I need to get better and more confidence in the meet and greet, as well as sealing deals. Any advice is most appreciated.

Thank you Stacy,

That’s a great one, and a very good point and car salesman tip or car saleswoman tip. People can freak out or get turned off in a situation like Stacy mentioned.
