Hi guys, Although i dont mind my current job i cant see it getting me anywhere, i have 3 years experience in sales, from being a halfords monkey to selling over the telephone for the past 2 years...
i wouldnt mind getting into car sales ?

Or something where it can be exciting and you get a buzz for selling etc..

I dont want to be sat in an office all day i want to be out and about so any other job suggestions would be great...

All i can think of at the moment is going and handing some CV's in to general places and seeing there response, dont want to go through agencys as most the jobs are pap

Thanks

I've heard you could be a multi-millionaire by tomorrow evening if you started putting kleeneze magazines through letterboxes by about lunchtime tomorrow.

Who was that entrepreneur again?

I've jsut been offered a managers position. A lot more money (and i'm not paid to bad as it is). Not sure I want the responsibility, I prefer being told what to do and not having to think much

If you want to aim high then I wouldn't go down the car sales route.

Hi Rob

I'm in the sales industry and car sales is not easy at all. I would definetly try applying places like ;

Synter Group (Lexus, Toyota, BMW etc)
Vauxhall
Citroen

If you have the sales knowledge behind you then that's an advantage, I would try the above places and keep looking in your local Evening Mail jobs paper.

Good luck, matey

Haven't a clue about sales mate but salaries aren't great in a garage and the way things are going car sales are on a downward turn anyway.
