This is a pretty niche question, but hoping someone can help. Does anyone know Ed Kenley Ford’s policy when it comes to marijuana if I have a valid medical card?

Hey all! I’m brand new to the sales world. I started my first car sales position two months ago and I’m loving it so far. The culture at my dealership is great and my team members and management are all very supportive and extremely happy with my performance so far. Anyways, let me cut to the chase here and get to my questions. My long term sales goals are in software sales, and I know this may be vague but… how do I get there? How long would you all suggest I stay at my dealership gaining sales experience before attempting to make the jump to an SDR role? How many years should I put on my career map before I can realistically be ready for AE and then enterprise AE roles?
On top of all of this, what resources do YOU all recommend to help improve my sales skills? I’m talking books, YouTube channels, blogs, Reddit threads, anything you guys can throw my way for me to start building the foundation I need.

This is a two parter question, the first part is for my Utah specific car sales specialists.

Question 1. I currently have a job offer with a Tim Dahle dealership that would be a long commute for me (about 50 minutes). I’m also interviewing with a young dealership today that’s much closer, however, my friend that’s been in car sales for a lot of years told me he would NEVER work for a young dealership again, so I’m hoping to find some other perspective and see if everyone has had the same experience with Young dealerships. I would much rather that 15 minute commute, but don’t want to start my car sales journey working for a bad dealership

Question 2. I’m coming from a job with flexible hours, because of this, I currently don’t have a solid childcare plan in place. With the more set hours that comes with car sales, I’m trying to get more consistent childcare in place, but I do have 3 days this month I simply cannot be at work. Would explaining this clearly and asking for those days off this month when the offer me the job, while also making a point of the fact that I’m actively seeking consistent childcare, reflect super poorly on me? Unfortunately I don’t really have a choice, but I’m looking for the best way to say it.

Thank you all in advance!
