I sold them for a while. I had spent three years in the biz before selling F-cars....one year in sales and two in management. I left a GSM position to take the F-car sales position.
It ain't all fun and games, and unless you've got a big nut stashed away, don't do it. It takes a LOOOOONG time to build up a clientele, and in the interim, you'll starve.
Where I worked, we sold about 1 new F-car a month, 2 used F-cars, and maybe 10 Porsches. That's 12 units split among 6 salespeople, some of whom sold more than one. Inevitably, there was one or two salespeople who blanked for the month, making nothing but minimum wage.
And if you think selling F-cars means that you'll get full-pop on each car, you're wrong! Some of the nastiest grinders I've encountered were P and F-car buyers.
Anyways, it was an experience, but I left it to go to school to become a lawyer. I'd much rather BUY them than SELL them. |

The rumor is for Ferrari salespeople, there not as much money in it as what you would think. Do a search, this has been covered several times. |

I ran into a salesman that sells exotic cars. He told me he used to work at a Toyota dealership.He said that he was thinking about going back to Toyota. He said Toyota has alot more sales action than the exotics. |

You really need great sales experience from somewhere credible, not necessarily with cars but with the same terms as what the Ferrari job would require. |

What would it take to get hired at one? As a sales person? |
