Really, all you need to do is hit the pavement. If you really wanted, you could have a job in car sales by the weekend. They will pay for your course (or part of it) and you'll have to meet quotas to stay on. It really costs them nothing to hire a noobie since you'll likely work off straight commission to start.

I hope I don't get my first fails for my noob question but here I go.
Is this job possible for a student that goes to school 2 days a week? I don't mind working for the other 4 or 5 days and to do what i can to meet a sales goal or whatnot. What kind of age groups do these dealerships usually hire? And requirement/qualities they look for? Thanks in advance

Lets talk about HIGH turnovers in the sales dept.

Do dealership actually help sales staff to be successful?
What is the minimum base pay?
