You can do this at any dealership.

Dealerships try to hire smart helpful people that can sell 30+ cars a month like I did. They don't always succeed, just like most companies can't hire the best programmers consistently either.

People have been saying this since dealerships stared buying internet leads. I started in 2008. Even then internet departments were fully built out and everyone was worried about the end of salespeople for several years. So yes, even back i

I think any work that puts you in direct personal contact with thousands of people is going to be valuable. I sometimes used to think how fun being a waiter could be compared to car sales, because the interaction in nowhere near as tense an

People have been saying this for 20 years. Yet car salespeople are more important than ever from what I've seen. But let's ignore that because you could argue it's just opinion. My favorite example/rebuttal to this is: I

If you buy a Toyota following the Tesla model, where you call and say "I'd like to buy the car you have, for the price you have listed", you will also have a generally good experience.

I agree, the "finance person" that technically does your paperwork and pitches you all those aftermarket products is the biggest crook in the industry (right next to the service advisors that tell you what service your car needs a

I was about top 1% in the country. So buying from me would be a different experience. Maybe you landed on someone in the bottom 50%, at a bad dealership too. The owner of our dealership was a Cal grad, the sales manager was a Jewish account

I would get many of these type leads. The better you are, the more of these you can close. They're not anyone's favorite, but if I have a car we can't sell because it's an ugly color, or weird options configuration, or i

I went to a top US university in a stem degree. My coworker was a med student that couldn't pass the Mcats, but wasn't a bozo. Basically everyone had a degree, and everyone made atleast $100k. I personally made about $225k but as

PGs take on why early stage VCs gain so much experience reminds me of my opinions on why car sales is the best sales experience. I sold cars for almost a decade and was pretty good at it averaging 30 cars a month. That means every year I he

One of the goto success stories of our generation, Facebook, is based on a university student acting extremely immorally as he stole the idea from people he agreed to build said idea for.

Then you wrote your original message in a very odd way, implying it was because of the WhatsApp use that you did not join. Not harping on you, just an FYI in case you're learning the language or would like to increase communication ski

It seems to be used constantly for hiring, which seems like it should also be illegal but apparently isn't. Saying you want to hire a white guy even sounds illegal. But saying you want to hire a minority is applauded. I can imagine thi

Very few people heat their homes with electricity. It's the most expensive energy source. So while the heat is atleast useful in the winter, most people would prefer to take the TV idle spend and apply that to a much cheaper heat sourc

Right wing sites/blogs/forums are saying that this implies white people, probably white straight men, will be more likely to be laid off because it is supposedly harder for minority group members of various types to replace their

I don't even think this would work without disconnecting from the main source via your breaker, so workers down stream are perfectly safe. And I don't see how putting 10-15 amps through a cord, plug, and outlet that routinely hand

In the US, lifetime odds of dying in a car are almost 1 in 100. I risk death by car almost everyday because I want a nicer house than I could afford if I lived within walking distance of my job. Let people have their plugs. I doubt 1 in 100

What I want to know is, is this actual software sold for $20 million a year? Or does this software "facilitate" $20 million of revenue, instead of generate it single handedly. What if were talking about a car sales website that &#

For all we know it's a car auction website and it selling 500 $40,000 cars. Like the company actually buys the cars and sells them. $20 million revenue, cost of goods $18.5 million. For all we know this website could be replaced with e

This thread is confusing. Are you implying that Canada can't deny entry to Canada to an American? Canada denies entry to tons of Americans. Americans with a DUI on their record have trouble visiting Canada.

It's pretty rare for "bad customer service" to cost people tens of thousands in lost revenue and pretty severe reputation loss for their business. I've had some bad customer service before, but it never set me back month

If people actually looked at what they were paying for MS Office over a decade they'd wonder wtf they were doing. Small numbers are easier to sell. Before a company spends $20k on a PM tool, they would discuss it to death. But signing

Just because there's a gap doesn't mean someone is being discriminated against. Shorter men could have self esteem issues that cause them to perform a little worse or fight for salary a little worse. I worked in sales for a decade

Isn't the cost of electricity basically that, or do you mean increase the price to where it actually hurts hard to even exist?

I don't see this really addressing the fact that deleting data permanently after you find out the FBI wants to look at those devices is a bit weird.

I understand why people want to erase hard drives permanently and totally. My point was more about, isn't it a little weird to do so after the FBI says they want to look into the status of said devices.
