Video Transcript

"Well, I think selling a car is is no different than selling anything else in so far as the sales process, so I think any experience you've had whether it be working in a retail store, a restaurant is great; any any type of situation where you have interaction with other people, and and customers, and dealing with the public. You've gotta', to be successful you need to be able to sell yourself, and and the customer to be sold on you just as much if not more than the product in which they're buying. If if they don't like you they're going to be turned off by whether you might have the greatest car in the world at the greatest price in the world, but if they don't like you they're not going to be receptive to what it is you're telling them. So, any type of situation... I've had really great success having people that have been in the restaurant business, they because they deal with a wide range of people on, you know, just have a high volume of customers and they get their skills in in that in that area. But also, any type sort of retail space, real estate, and like I say, whether it's working at a at a retail store, you know, that's that's good experience. It helps to like cars, but a lot of people say well, I'm a car guy; I want to be in the car business. Well, you've got to have the sales side of it too, and you don't necessarily have to be a car buff and know everything about every car that's ever been made to to be successful in the automotive industry. You have to, you have to like people and do well talking and interacting with with other people."
