Depends what position you're going for. I know quite a few people that have gone straight to Vauxhall wiv no experience in a trainee/junior position. uve just got to be willing to start at the bottom. Which means sales are gonna be harder to get cause ur competing against experienced salesmen.

Would do my head in telling them all the sh1t boring stuff, i'd be like yes 'would you like the irmscher brochure sir' :lol:

Yeah shud imagine that as mentioned above a big dealership place like lookers vauxhall etc would like experience, which you may be able to get from a year or so in a mid sized place spose.

The salesman at my local dealership work 8-7 Monday to Friday then its 8-5 Saturday and 10-4 sunday. And thats 6days a week.

weigh up the pros and cons from what this thread tells ya

ive been a salesman for 3 yrs now not easy when ya 1st start but within 6 months its a peice of piss its all about knowing ya product once ya got that sorted dead easy plus once ya been a salesman very easy to get into other sales positions

in reality ur workin 24hours a day 7 days a week, my mates a trainee and hes constantly gettin phone calls, not tryin to put u off, just lettin u know what i know

I went out with a vauxhall salesman. His salary was about £4500 plus commission plus company car. He used to earn about £20-£25K a year. All depends how good you are. They get vouchers and stuff for selling accessories too. You have to obviously work towards targets.

The saleman at my local Vauxhall dealership was telling me that a third of his sallery is made up by commision, he gets £40 for every car he sells. In one promotional weekend he sold 6 cars on the friday, 8 cars on the saturday and 4 on the sunday.

Its a job i wouldn't mind doing either, i have always wondered what qualifications are required ???

Might aswell enquire. Would be quite interesting I would think, although the salary will be largely based on commission I suspect.

Seen a job at Vauxhall for a salesman. I work in I.T. at the moment, but was wondering whether this would be a good change?
Anyone else work for vauxhall? I am an enthusiast and can talk the talk when it comes to selling cars!
Salary to expect? Should I enquire about it?
