Thanks Mark! Another excellent post. Well thought out with a detailed description for success. You have prescribed the ideal plan a sales associate can follow to complete the journey from average to great! I can't recall the author but this quote has stuck with me- "success isn't a once a day thing...it's an every day thing".<br />

@Lynn. I'm sorry you were put into a position that will challenge your commitment to success every day. However, we always have choices! We can choose (as I did and many…

@Lynn. I'm sorry you were put into a position that will challenge your commitment to success every day. However, we always have choices! We can choose (as I did and many others have) to seek out mentors, pay for our own training, read every available book and seek out every helping hand!

Look if you worked in a office, you are going to give it time to find your feet and get used to things. You are at the start of your career, Rome was not built in a day. I don't think I sold two cars in my first month back in 1975 and most of my colleagues thought I was employed to run errands for them and there was no training. I learned by watching, listening and reading a Dale Carnagie book. That was April 1975, in November 1975 I was sent on sales training with Ford in Ireland and I…

Today you can get a wealth of top quality training from this site. Give it a few months and if things don't improve then consider moving. Talk to your manager about what training programmes they have for staff.<br />
Don't give up, I wish you a happy and prosperous career in the car industry and feel free to email me if you need any advise. patkirley@hotmail.com Lynne, sorry this has happene…tag:www.dealerelite.net,2013-03-07:5283893:Comment:3586582013-03-07T18:28:48.020ZMark Tewarthttps://www.dealerelite.net/profile/MarkTewart
<p>Lynne, sorry this has happened to you. I normally would not say this but my best suggestion is to find a dealership that has an extensive training program and utilizes a fully functioning Customer Relationship Management system. If what you said is true, the salespeople including yourself are set up to fail at a high rate because of a lack of proper leadership and management. Normally, I would direct you to take responsibility and focus on what you can do and give you suggestions but I dont…</p>
<p>Lynne, sorry this has happened to you. I normally would not say this but my best suggestion is to find a dealership that has an extensive training program and utilizes a fully functioning Customer Relationship Management system. If what you said is true, the salespeople including yourself are set up to fail at a high rate because of a lack of proper leadership and management. Normally, I would direct you to take responsibility and focus on what you can do and give you suggestions but I dont think it will make a difference. If you were truly made to split a deal because as a new person you did not know how to fill out the paperwork then you are at a horrible dealership and should find a better dealership.</p> I have only been in the busin…tag:www.dealerelite.net,2013-03-07:5283893:Comment:3586562013-03-07T18:18:49.320ZLynne Lopeshttps://www.dealerelite.net/profile/LynneLopes
<p>I have only been in the business about a month. I love my job, but my surroundings are the problem. I was never given any real training and the other sales staff don't care to help me out at all. I have only made 2 sales and one I was forced to make a split because I wasn't sue how to fill out the paperwork and needed help from another sales guy. They get a draw each week and I am only getting commission twice a month. We pretty much have to be lot lizards because I don't have anything else…</p>

They get a draw each week and I am only getting commission twice a month. We pretty much have to be lot lizards because I don't have anything else I can do. I don't have previous clients to call and I have bird dogged every gas station, friend and business in the area that I pass by coming to work. Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me be better at this? Oh, and there was not a training process...just thrown into it. </p> Agree totallytag:www.dealerelite.net,2013-02-28:5283893:Comment:3572952013-02-28T21:59:29.779ZPat Kirleyhttps://www.dealerelite.net/profile/PatKirley

<p>Not much follow up being done with crows perched on the railing in front of the dealership. Sounds like a dealership in need of a rotation system.</p>
