I was in auto sales for a long time. It can pay the bills if you take the good with the bad.

You are going to learn alot, and if you make it into the finance department or as a sales manager you will be set.... but you are going to learn what 65 hour weeks are like making $100 or nothing all week or making $2,000 on one sale.

I wish you luck bro. If you ever need some proven closing pitches depending on bad credit, unsettled customers, and how to hold revenue, pm me and I'll give you my phone number so we can chat for a bit.

I almost wish I culd go back into it again. There are some nice perks in the biz, like a one year old Firehawk for 18.9k!

The Heard group, the Team stores, and Hendricks can sap even the most enthusiastic over time. Use it as a lily pad, get a killer record and after about 1 year go to Acura carland in Gwinnett. That is one place that can pay your bills with a 45 hour week. Reletively stress-free place to work; two of my closest friends in the biz love it once they landed there.
