An automotive sales representative is responsible for selling used and new cars on the dealership floor. These individuals facilitate every aspect of the car sales process including maintaining a strong customer database, greeting potential customers, coordinating test drives, assisting with trade-in value, and negotiating vehicle prices. To be a successful car salesperson, they must ask the right questions and be keen listeners. They use the information that potential customers share to present car options that meet their lifestyle needs, personal preferences, desired perks, and budgets. They earn an average salary that’s often supplemented with monthly or quarterly performance-based bonuses.
