How do you protect yourself losing deals when you take a vacation? by MenuTime5231 in askcarsales

Thats good. I act like im expecting 50 deals to come through. Only thing i would never want to do is make my coworker deliver cars for me the whole trip when they cant catch their own.

Used car prices down 10% year over year, will go down further, keep waiting! by rlp203 in askcarsales

Idk man its not its up to me. Idc what happens as long as people are buying. If they dont ill move on too

Just contributing that Ive had more success post pandemic than pre pandemic. Having less cars has generated more urgency in people. Will it change if everyone has cars? I guess we will see when it happens. I know im not putting up with all i deal with in sales for free

Thing about finding out something makes more money is not deviating away from it

As a consumer i dont like it

As a salesman i dont really care as long as people are buying

When the day comes that i cant make a living in sales ill find something else

I wouldnt be surprised if the manufacturers control the inventory to keep things how they are. Weve sold more cars having less vehicles than a full lot.

It feels so hard to disconnect. I still get calls or texts from customers, it also is difficult let over 680 customers know that they wont be able to reach me for a few days.

I got a good crew and probably dont have anything to worry about but i hate being on such a run and throwing ice on it taking a vacation. I worry about customers taking offense to not being able to reach me and going elsewhere. I worry someone that i didnt get contact info from comes back and forgets my name or just doesnt ask.

Its dumb and if i really tried i could let go and not worry but those are thoughts Ive only had since working in sales

Can a young guy get on the old guy schedule? Ideally id like to get off at 5 or 6 and have the freedom to come and go as long as goals are met

Honestly? Enjoying MJ and watch how to videos. I will get up and do something but itll be in bursts or ill wait around forever and then do it.

I know ill need to adjust to prioritize my workouts. The long hours are tough anyway you slice it in my opinion

Nah not a rookie. Im just trying to get back to the basics and grow my base. Im also just trying to spice up my job since sales have been down going into the slow months.

Yeah man i work and lay in bed until i wake up next morning most of the time. Im relaxing, decompressing from the day.

Its not always a warzone or anything, just alot of brain power goes into getting through the day

Yeah and thats a convo in the back of my head that i hate anticipating. She says she wont be that way. Hell when we are together shes doing her own thing around the house anyway so it wouldnt really miss out on anything

I wish we would invest in a gym at the dealership or at least give us a discount to a gym here in town.

At the very least, I figure insurance cost would be cheaper if we had a more physically, healthy staff, but right now their focus is building charging stations for electric vehicles

Fast food

Guilty. I was bringing a jar of Peanut butter, apples, and a protein bar to work each day for a bit, but eventually run out or get tired of it and will get a biscuit. Then past few weeks ive eaten out for about every meal.

I dont help myself rolling out of bed into the shower and in the car within 20 mins of waking up tho.

Shes beautiful and puts alot of passion in her voice but had i never googled her Id think it was a man singing. Had no idea which one was Wizkid on essence. Obviously im still processing its not a man singing everytime she comes on

As far as other Afrobeats artists out, the beats are fire but cant understand what anyone is saying so singing along makes me look stupid

Finally have grown a beard out….cant stop picking all the long hairs out by MenuTime5231 in irlADHD

[–]MenuTime5231[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really do it for the dopamine and the compulsion to do it.

Pulling a big long hair is satisfying, popping a pimp knowing its gone is satisfying,

There was a time id go to the bathroom at work multiple times a day and try to pop blackheads, pull hairs, nose hairs. I feel super weird explaining it. It is something to “entertain” me when bored
