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.

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.

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.
