Hello and Welcome to Car Sales Professional a Car Salesman blog.
I have put this website together to gather other Car Sales Professionals, Green Peas and Newbies for the sake of learning, earning and exchanging useful information that pertains to the Car Sales Profession. When I started selling cars for a living I could not find any source that would help me get my feet wet and provide me with the inside information that would speed the process of becoming a Professional Car Sales Person. Most of what you find on the Internet when researching Car Sales is negative and bashes the car sales business.
I now know first hand that the Car Sales Profession can be a great career choice and and that it is a profitable business. The potential is practically unlimited when it comes to making money. I started selling cars at a time in my life when I needed to make money and fast. A friend recommended that I try selling cars for a living, buy I was put off by the poor image that the car salesman has with the public.
Then after thinking about and the recommendation of a friend I decided to give it a try. So I jumped in with both feet and tried too learn everything I could about selling cars. I was determined to make a good living in the car business. After 3 months I was one of the top car salesman and I was on track to make a six figure income. There is more detail about my history and background in the book. To this day I continue to sell cars 5 days a week and make six figures.
I share some of the lessons I have learned to sell more cars and make more money selling cars both on this blog and in the book I wrote. Feel free to read some of my posts and add your thoughts, stories and successes of being a successful car salesman or car sales woman.

OK I WENT IN FOR AN INTERVIEW… I AM A FEMALE 36 AND WHEN I GOT THERE THE OTHER SALESMEN JUST STARED AT ME I GUESS THE GUYS HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME I FELT A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE HOW DOES A WOMAN GET THE JOB AND DEAL WITH THE OTHER SALEMEN WHAT AE THESE GUYS THINKING WHEN A PETIETE BRUNETTE WALKS IN WITH LOTS OF CONFINDENCE SHOULD THIS BE SOMTHING I SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT?
Hi April,
You went in for an interview and the guys were staring at you is understandable. You are a petite brunette in what is commonly considered a man’s world. Men are going to stare at an attractive woman.
You are full of confidence which is key to selling cars for a living.
Men are always intrigued by a woman with confidence and if all went well you should get the job. Once you start selling cars you will get to know these guys and find out they are probably pretty good guys.
The interview and the first couple days are the hardest, but it gets easier from there. The guys that interviewed you just want to sell cars because if you succeed, they succeed.
Hang in there…..I hope you get the job.
let me know.

Hi
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.
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.
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.
