Yeah, that's what I am thinking after 6 weeks, it is sink or swim. I sold myself enough to get a shot at a job I have zero experience in. I am also starting with a great product in Toyota.

It seems like they give you all the assets to succeed. Still a BIG decision to make, especially with wanting to buy a house this year and another baby on the way.... Ugh

GM said that last June they sold close to 300 cars in 30 days... Now that's in the summer peak month, but none the less, a ton of sales...

 

6 weeks training at $400 a week? That's $2400 you wouldn't have it you don't take the job. The way I see, after training, having a job with no base pay but commission only is 100% better then having NO job with NO pay what so ever.

 

Good way of putting it Stewie.

 

I ended up declining the offer, just too risky right now for me. Ford dealership around me is looking for a sales rep, gonna check it out this week... Also got a lead for an entry level body shop guy...

 

Sales position at either place carries same risk. Market is so volitile. Body shop would likely be more stable, and probably more dependable income, but starting pay probably lower - but a check every payday. Like anything else, as you gain experience, ther is opportunity to earn more (but may require chaning shops - or eventually opening your own).

Good luck which ever one you decide!
