insurance is a solid option but sales is sales and that shite translates across several fields.

market yourself as a guy that can overcome objections thats driven by your numbers. youve seen firsthand that theyll hire anybody to be a car guy, bloviate yourself to appear like youre better than that and youll be turning down sales offers left and right.

ask about how youll get your leads, and the realistic opportunity for volume. if you can get something that offers base+commission youre well on your way to still struggling from time to time, but you wont be at a dealership every frickin weekend.

good luck baw

If you can somehow translate that direct car sales experience into relationship sales you can go work for pretty much anybody in a lot of different markets because honestly, people willing to talk to another human being at the drop of a hat are getting harder to find. Distributors. Manufacturers. Pick a market that's not so tied to the market cycles. Something that no matter what, must be bought if it goes down.

Then get good at it.

How many cars do you have to sell a year to even make $75k a year?

50-60 cars

Double the cars sold to get that amount of money.

Seriously, insurance is the way to go. Not working for an agency, owning your own agency. Building that renewal comp gets you through leaner times. Let me know if you want to talk, I’m happy to help you out.
