Moving into management
I’ve been a salesman at a domestic dealership for a year and a half now. It’s the first and only place I’ve sold cars. I was bad at first but now I’m doing well and usually sit around 15-21 cars a month. Currently at 16 cars for the month of August and roughly 11k in commission. I was asked by my manager if I ever considered a future in management. I was apprehensive because I’m making good money at the moment on the floor. I told him I’d like to sell cars still for now but would be interested to see what a sales managers role entails. Told him that sometimes I get burnt out from being with customers constantly for 12 hours socializing. He told me I’m doing good right now and to “keep doing what I’m doing”
Do sales managers on a gross pay plan typically do as good or better monthly income as a salesperson? I’m paid 25% of the front or 30% to 35% depending on unit average. Did I blow up my chance not giving a direct answer?
