Can you be honest and still be successful in car sale industry?


I am getting interviewed tomorrow by a car sale employer. I am willing to giving car sales a try, can anyone have experience in this field give me some guidance. I am a honest worker, i like to be direct with people. Will that make a bad combo for my job?

Sounds like you are a salesman. Bad salesmen lie; good salesmen offer help: engage people in a non-threatening way, and ask questions. They key to any good salesperson is to let your prostect feel comfortable, and talk to you, and this helps you solve their problems. Make sure you treat those people like gold – go the extra mile. They will feel like they found a diamond in an honest salesman, and refer everyone. In fact, you can tell them that you don’t want their business – you want their whole family’s business and their friends’ business too!

Car buyers today tend to be either very well studied and/or very skeptical, so let your candor and genuine nature to serve melt away their sense of concern. Make you customers feel like they are your friends and you are taking care of them, like a guest. My only caution is make sure you aren’t direct to the point you are pushy with people, but ensure you ask those questions, and then you can offer opinions with permission.

Hope that helps; sales success is a science/art. Takes practice to get your groove – Enjoy it!
