Australian Sale Considering a career as a Car Salesperson (bonus if you’re in Australia)
I currently work as a Service Advisor at Toyota. I feel like I have gotten pretty good at my job but feel like the commission structure here isn’t the best as it is group-based commission and it is really hindering my earning potential.
But I feel like working as a Service Advisor has given me good experience, as I currently manage 20 cars a day and have gotten quite good at selling services to customers, as I feel like customers who come to Service don’t actually want to spend money in the first place, whereas customers who want to buy a car have the intention to actually buy a car or somewhat at least have an interest in buying a car.
I have spoken to lots of other Toyota salespeople in Australia and they seem to really enjoy their jobs and actually have a good work/life balance.
Just as an insight, what does a payplan for a Car Salesperson in Australia actually look like? Not even ChatGPT could provide real life examples of payplans in Australia.

Have you tried being a service advisor elsewhere?
Personally, selling at most Toyota stores is not my idea of a good time. I like higher gross, lower volume, at least relative to Toyota
