New to the car sales business. Shitty situation need advice
So I’m pretty new to the car sales business, I’ve been working as a porter for almost 2 years and management at that store was the worst ever, after consistently asking to be put into sales and getting fake promises like “yea we’ll set up a meeting to discuss your next steps for sales” and never going through with it or “yea come see me next week and we’ll discuss that” which then I get told to ask the next week and the next, just a brutal cycle of bs right. well now I landed a sales job finally at a different store, I was super excited at first thinking this will be the move that’ll help me achieve some of my dreams and goals and what not, just for me to come to reality with the brutal truth. I’m not too sure if it’s the store itself or what but I’ve been 2 weeks in and on my second week our GM gets fired by the ceo himself who showed up to the store just to fire him, which was lowkey crazy to me during my second week, I was like wtf. But I’m assuming the reason for that was because the store was preforming like shit, And he wasn’t helping. Genuinely the store is ass. Always dead, yes even on Saturdays it’s quite as a mouse. And I never get any customers infront of me. I did everything in the books from doing the service method, to social media, to camping outside for hours hoping for an up. And going through my entire customer log on crm making calls, texts, emails, literally everything. And never getting nothing out of it. The customers always on bs. Asking ridiculous questions and always having me to try and find them a fuckin unicorn. I’m a fast learner and I learned a pretty good amount of the entire process and a lot of stuff that has to do with sales on my first week that they let me go solo. But still I haven’t made a single sale and alot of people started quitting. Idk if this is normal as a green pea first starting out or what’s going on, because I’ve seen on a lot of socials and me doing research of newbies landing 5-10 sales their first month. I don’t get how there doing that. Also I’m pretty sure the store itself is shit. Like from the outside it dosent seem like a low traffic store but when you really get into it and see for yourself, it’s the worst. We did get a new gm today but I can’t rely on him to bring the store back to life. It’s scaring me because I really made the jump from a comfortable base hourly pay by barely doing anything as a porter to a 100% commission only hustle based sales position . And it’s really just luck tbh. I gotta get lucky enough to get a real buyer and not a guy wasting time looking to get an outrageous numbers just because he’s broke. What should I do and what would be a good move for me?
