Is this a solid plan?
Seems simple, first time advisor, was guaranteed $80k yearly at minimum, first week seeing about 40 cars per day and we are the biggest VW dealer in the area I believe.

Recommendations for first time advisor?
I just landed a job as an advisor, I'm excited for it. Base is $80k per year and a huge relief for me financially. I have prior experience in automotive sales and acquisitions, special finance, and as a detailer and tech. I've been out of the industry for some years but had a feeling I'd be back. Currently I work accounts management for a telecom company so angry customers are nothing new.
As someone new, who's striving for success and will do everything in my power to avoid being burnt out or jaded, what were some key things you wish you knew? What are things you know now that you would offer to someone fresh? What speaks for your success? Any and all advice is appreciated!

What do parts managers look for in a candidate?
I recently applied to a large dealership for a finance manager role, in addition to service advisor and parts counter. Finance I'll be having an interview scheduled but they were looking for someone experienced in the role. Advisor was already filled by someone with experience in the role.
I think I'd be an excellent candidate for all three, I have experience as a detailer, a tech, an autobody mechanic, sales, acquisitions, and special finance. I've also worked at a dealership where I am the one selling the backend product. Not exactly F&I but still closing the deal. I've been a consistent top performer in car sales, the sales role just doesn't imterest me anymore.
What can solidify me as the ideal candidate for parts, or F&I?
