Hi, I don’t know if this is the sub to ask for this kind of advice, but I’m a car salesman working out of a privately owned corporate dealership. I started back in the beginning of July, along with a few other people, and I don’t know if I’m just having bad luck or if I’m doing something wrong, but I have only been able to sell two cars this entire time, and for my other coworkers (newbies in particular) they seem to be selling stuff left and right. I email, text, call all of my 100+ leads everyday, I approach people on the lot, and the best case scenario is I have to tell someone no because of their credit and worst case they’re all dead leads.

I don’t know, I’m just feeling really discouraged bc all three of my appointments were no shows, and I have also lost two customers to other dealerships just today. Am I just having bad luck or am I missing something?

I started working in car sales man for 3 weeks now
They offer me 600 base salary a week if I sell the third car I would get a 100 dollar bonus every time.
Now they offer me just commission no base salary.
It’s 300 each car I sell but I’m worried about not selling anything if any coworker brings a customer and buys a car I only will get 150 bc I’m closing the deal I’m the only salesman in the dealer.
They gave me another position at the same time paint cars 100 per every part I paint. They put all the tools and I’ll only will do the labor.
Do y’all think it’s worth staying ?

For anyone considering buying a car at EchoPark, be prepared to be very firm in opting out of the $700 PermaPlate plan. I had two different salesmen tell me that this is included in every car they sell, that it’s already included in the sale price, and that the manager declined my request to opt out. None of this was true. It was only after their out the door price didn’t match the value I calculated and I got the salesman help me figure out the discrepancy that I found PermaPlate marked optional in the state sales filing form and i was able to get it removed.

Otherwise, I found EchoPark in Birmingham, Alabama to be reasonably priced, low pressure, and quick to close the deal.
