The only ones paying much more over invoice are the ones that are suckers or have never heard of the internet. In 1996 when I bought my last car it was unheard of to get a copy of the invoice now you can't look up a car on the internet without getting the invoice price. Just remember, that reduction is price hurt the dealer a little but it hurt the salesman a lot. If you don't get the price above a certain level you get a very small commission per car.
Basically you have obtained a job where you only benefit if you try to get people to pay more than anyone else. The more lieing and deception you use the more successful you will be and the more you will hate yourself for being such a scumbag. Turnover rate for salesmen is huge, not everyone is cut out to be a crook.
I'm sorry you have such a bad impression of salespeople. I'm fairly certian from your attitude that at some point in time an uncrupulous salesperson rubbed you the wrong way. Truth be told, there are bad apples in any buisiness. But I feel it's unfair for you to categorically imply that all salespeople are, in fact, "bad apples."
I've been in sales for over two years now, and have sold a variety of products, and one thing I've come to realize is that without these, "scumbags" as you so bluntly put it; any open market, capatalist society would come crumbling down on top of itself.
I think that www.gmarketing.com puts it well when they say of salespeople:
Furthermore, there is not one product or service that you own, use, or have ever owned or used that you would have enjoyed the benifits of without the service of a salesperson. Perhaps you were not the one being sold, but somewhere along the line a, "crook" recieved a commission to put that product in a position where it would generate a profit for the people who created it.
Perhaps not everyone is blessed with the benevolent view that such an utter distain for salespeople provides. Perhaps you should enlighten us all; what a wonderfull world it would be without salespeople, without the sick notions of, "profit" and, "commission." Perhaps you and you alone hold the key to this utopian society, where everyone works, and instead of profiting from their labors, are compensated by a communal exchange of goods and services for free.
Perhaps this has been tried in the past, perhaps it's called Communisim...
Perhaps the reason that Sales is the most hated proffession, is that it is the most neccisary. I don't particularly enjoy visiting the dentist, but I need him. Perhaps, somewhere down deep we all realize that without salespeople the world would be a much different place, a much worse place.
This my friends is why I'm happy to be disliked, why I'm happy to be loathed, why I enjoy reciving a fair compensation for the hard work that I do. This is why I love to sell...
I'd like to go back to the dealership my wife bought her car from and beat the salesman over the head with a bat. I'm not talking about normal wooden bats here either, more like the metal softball ones wrapped in barbed wire.
Hopefully that job will be wiped with the invent of the internet. Sorry to rain on your parade.
They probably thought being a door-to-door salesman was a neccessary (high calling) job 40 years ago too, how many of them do you see nowadays....aside from jehovahs.

QFT
The day I couldn't face myself in the mirror anymore was the day I quit.
I even tried to give the best deals I could which meant I made very little money, and people STILL thought I was scum. Eventually I started believing them, then I quit!
Do you have bills?
Do you currently have money in your pocket?
Do you already have a large network?
If you answered no to any of these questions you will not be making 50K.
10% of the people make 90% of the money.
The only advice I can give you is don't get friendly with other salesman and everybody can buy a car
The first time you are on point and someone rolls in and you say "you get them" find another job.
Also the hours are more ~80 in my experience and to answer one person's question yes you can sit at your desk but you will be broke......

AVERAGE EARNINGS
If that doesn't scream scam, I don't know what does.
But good luck nonetheless...you should've went for a M-B, BMW, Land Rover, or higher car dealership...those customers care less about good deals and you'd get more coin. Good luck!
