Soon-to-be new automotive salesman

I just joined today and I plan on becoming a car salesman when I graduate from my university in May. I hope that you all can offer me some good advice when it comes to closing a sale and offering the best customer service when it comes to getting the customer what they want, all the while benefitting me as well; finding a good medium I should say.

i have sold cars for a couple of years now, that being said i work probably work in a different enviroment from what you will be working in. (we work off a one price system and i don't get paid off the front end).
the most important thing is qualifying. Ask questions and that will lead to an easy sale.
if someone looks at a vehicle and says they don't like it, you won't have any ammo to hit them with if you haven't qualified correctly.
for example
I really don't know about this ford taurus....
I understand, let's review what you told me YOU SAID
I have to have a full size car with cruise and all the power options and a v-6 and YOU SAID you don't want to pay over 12,000 adn the car needs to have under 40,000. this is the only car that fits what YOU SAID you needed, now i do have other vechiles that fit what you want, but we have 3 choices
1. purchase the ford taurus
2. Look at some 4 cyl
3. Increase the amount that you want to spend
I am here to put you in the best situation possible and all i do is present you with choices and these are the facts based off of what YOU TOLD ME. So what do you feel like is the best route to take...

WinkGreat answer

Benjamin,

You sound like a great salesman. Do you happen to sale vehicles in Sothern Cali? My hubby and I are in the market for an SUV or Truck lol I am yet to meet a salesman that isn't more into himself than into what my husband and I WANT.

Hope your career is treating you well!

Be yourself and be genuine.

To sell more cars, don’t try to sell more cars, just get to know what your customers want and why. when you do that the sale will be easy

Best of luck!!!
