That is unless, which is rare, that you work for a store with a good pay plan and doesn't work you like a slave. As far as advertising, I recommend sites like Craigslist. It is free and allot of people read it. Put it in the cars for sale by dealerships section. You will have to repost it frequently, due to other salespeople flagging it. Also, you indicated that you are just a regular salesman. If you think that way then you will starve. The difference between a salesman and closer are light years apart. Work on becoming a closer and not a salesman. A closer makes a $100K a year and a salesman make $30K. Which one do you want to be? Do ever fear a customer getting up and walking away. Be polite, professional, bold and don't hesitate to call bullshit when the customer is dishing it out. If they tell you they can get it for $3K less down the street, then the question that should be politely asked is, "Wow, with such a great deal, why are you hear?" They are their because that deal does not exist. Closers call BS and nail people to the wall. Great movies on sales are "Suckers"; great for the car business and "Glen Gary, Glen Ross". The Alec Baldwin scene in particular. Both can be found at your local Blockbuster. You have to have brass balls to close people. You have to be the mentally toughest person at the table. You also can't close them all. You cannot overcome ignorance, stupidity or poverty on behalf of the buyers.<br><b>References : </b><br> My first advice, having done it for years, is to run from the car business as fast as you can.
