With my 30 years of hands-on experience in the automobile dealership industry, this book fulfills my need to give something back. I share all of my wisdom and time-honored advice for venturing into your dream career! My family memories involve selling baseball cards at the local flea market and traveling to auto auctions with my father and Uncle Sam. I was an adult at the time of my first auction, but I felt like a kid on his way to the circus. I became captivated by all of the action happening between the auctioneer and the people with the paddles. My Uncle Sam's voice cut through the bidding to yell the winning bid for a beat-up and rusted yet supposedly reliable pick-up truck. Three weeks and two paint jobs later, I was able to watch him sell it for a $3,500 profit. I was immediately hooked. Ever since then, I knew I desperately wanted to sell used cars, but not just for the insane profits. I once sold a gently used Volvo in great condition to an elderly couple who were completely thrilled to have it. They wanted it for safety reasons and of course its record of reliability. That made me proud. Moments like these make it all worth it. Car salesmen have to be therapists, educators, and extended family all rolled into one. The entire experience can be very rewarding!
