Answer 3

it really depends on the dealership. I've seen some dealerships have the sales people on $2000-$3000 per month draw. Commissions vary as well. I don't care what anyone says. Work on the draw. If you work for a place that doesn't have a draw, you don't sell, you don't eat. Work this way untill you know what you're doing and get comfortable with the type of sales.

When I worked for Honda, it was 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and one weekend off a month. It's honestly a good way to start. Once you know what you're doing, you can move to a highline dealership (BMW,Lexus, etc..)

I've been selling cars for a while now. Went from a 12.50 per hour job to clearing over $80K each year for the past 5 years. If you know how to work it, you'll make out very well.

Answer 4

It will vary from dealership to dealership.

Try not to work at a dealership that works on a "draw" plan.

Try not to work at a "per unit" plan.

Try a straight commission pay plan.

With great risk comes great reward!

You will be selling a great product. (Honda)

Sales people that work on straight commission, in any industry,not just cars, are some of the highest paid people on the planet.
