A Day in The Life of A Sales Person

Being a salesman at a car dealership can be very rewarding, we get to help individuals buy their first family oriented vehicle, young ones buy their first car, watch people purchase the car of their dreams, and we get to see the beginning of it all.

Here is a what a typical day for us as Salesman at a dealership looks like:

I like to wake up to a nice warm cup of coffee. Read the highlights of the news while cooking something easy for breakfast. Talk to the kids for a little bit over our morning meal. Then help the kids grab all their supplies, ready for school, and get them out the door to the bus stop. Shortly after, I run out as well to be on my way to work.

Arrive to work early, grab another cup of coffee, wait for awhile as the team comes together, have a good meeting with the other salesman and managers. We typically go over any helpful tips for the day, feedback from customers and ways to help us all improve, return to my desk and check emails. I will then start calling customers (old and new) and any follow ups of interest that was shown.

Yes its true, I will yet have another cup of coffee. At this time of the day we have more people coming in and out of the dealership so I will walk outside look for anyone who may have questions or want to test drive any cars. As always the main goal is to make a sale but in a way that doesn’t pressure our potential customers.

Enjoy the nice break.

I will go back to checking my emails, make more phone calls, and take another walk outside to approach new onlookers. Serious customers are always willing to test drive some cars so we’ll look at a few and take a couple for a spin. Then after a couple hours with our customers we begin to start making a deal, bargain pricing, financing, all the great details involved, but always ensuring that we give them the best price possible.

Still with the same interested customers, but this is where I like to give them a minute to talk, i’ll walk away and allow them time to think and go over what their final decision is. This is the tricky part because I will either A) walk in to find that they decided that they do not want to purchase the car or B) they want the car! So going along with option B we begin to CLOSE THE DEAL! I will prepare and start filling out the papers of ownership, papers for payment, and finally congratulate the new owners of their beautiful new car! Only the best found at our honda dealership in Waldorf Maryland.

I will show a few more cars, give my sales pitch to serious customers, test drive a couple more cars for the evening, possibly have more serious buyers and potentially make another sale here.

Start closing down and help the managers lock up all cars on display,

Finally arrive home, spend some time with the family, and in the end I will get prepared to do it all over again tomorrow morning.
