Meta What’s Next?

Have been working for BHA for the past 3 months in Texas, (first car sales job, have worked other sales jobs before) currently @ 40 units since day one, associates is my highest degree lvl.

Currently at a low-traffic hyundai store, I love my team and its overall pretty drama free which I heard is rare for dealerships. Problem is we have almost no walk-ins and last month I closed at only 9 units.

Should I tough it out, or look to other dealerships now that I have experience? If so, where? And why.

I tend to do good with higher market cars and their clientele (used), I love cars and the product I sell doesn’t quite excite me either.

Thank you all for reading this! 🫶🏻

I would tough it out for a little while to learn the business a bit more so you can prove to a future employer that you know how to sell cars. Maybe after 6-9 months see if you can make the jump to luxury. Leverage previous experience with HNWI clients and customer service to make the jump yo Audi/BMW/Mercedes/Porsche

What does nine units pay you?

Our base pay is $2k/mo before tax (1,600 month) if you make over 2k gross you get to keep whatever that is. If it’s less than 2k you don’t get a comission check. It is definitely possible to make good money with 9 units, but it would require high-grossing deals

That didn’t really answer my question. What did YOU MAKE selling nine units.

How is anyone at your store paying their bills?

We’re usually a high grossing dealership, and last month was just plain odd.

So you owe the store $200?

Lucky at this dealership they don’t make us pay back, but some do.
