Take the Hyundai job. It's the same freaking job you signed up for with another chance to go through the training again (hopefully with someone with more time).

If you want to learn sales, and want to continuing doing it, take the Hyundai job. If sales is something you aren't interested in anymore, go find a new fvucking job. Its a tough industry, and really only certain people can be great at it. Don't take offense if its not something you can do well.

Exactly true. However, I don't think there is a better place to learn sales. If you want to be a salesman, either take the other job or go find another dealership (car sales jobs are some of the easiest to find). Try to find one with guarenteed money for the first 2-3 months, they tend to train better.

Remember, there is no other line of work that simulatiously has less and more job security....top sales people can get fired because the sales managers's wife was ugly that morning, but anybody can replace that job by afternoon.

Most salespeople are treated like trash. The reasons salespeople leave a job are:
1. They get fired.
2. Their mgmt gets jealous of their financial success and they play games with their commisions/territory to give them a pay cut.

So why do sales? Because the money can be very nice. The paperwork problems were minor. If you were selling, you would still have a job.

Go to the bookstore and buy some books on selling. Educate yourself! Tom Hopkins has some good ideas but I would not make him my primary mentor.

Not all dealerships are the same, some actually treat their employees like humans. You just might need to search for the right fit. If you are the type of person who takes being fired personally it's not the right career for you.

Selling cars for a living can be very inconvenient. Long hours, nights, weekends. But its one of the few remaining jobs where a man with no marketable skills whatsoever (other than being able to sell of course) can make serious money. Good luck.
