I'm tired of car sales.
I have never and will never lie to a customer to sell a car. I've had managers and coworkers lie to customers and then I've had to make everything right again.
I pour my heart and soul into it and try to to my best by people and make them happy.
I get NO RESPECT WHATSOEVER from my coworkers and managers because I'm honest. In fact, I get eyes rolled for it because I lose sales.
I get NO RESPECT WHATSOEVER from customers. People walk in with a preconceived notion of me being slimy and awful. I work hard to turn it around, but I get the exact same thing over and over.
The people you work the hardest for don't appreciate it at all and s=still give you bad surveys when you've spent hours upon hours with them, drove to their house, bought them accessories, etc.
I get people going "oh, you're a car salesman? well that explains ______."
Really?
YOU SHOULD SEE HOW CUSTOMERS TREAT ME EVERY GODDAMNED DAY OF THE WEEK AND THEN YOU GET TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ME. Walk a mile - or half of one - in my shoes and then just try to say that to me. People always tell me car salespeople are liars, well, I've seen 5x more customers lie than I ever have seen people in the industry lie to their customers. I've just started calling people out on it. It's awkward to say "but you said xxxx earlier" but it's better than putting up with it any longer.
The last guy who came into the dealership asking for a salesman I really should have turned over to someone else like I usually do. . . but I haven't taken many new clients lately and I just said "that's me!"
He was absolutely nothing but an ass to me the. entire. time.
When I'm dressed professionally and have a pin on my lapel saying I'm in sales and I greet someone who says that, I usually say, "no problem, let me get a salesman for you!" and run off to find one of my coworkers. In the future, I'm going to start doing that again.
