somehow got an entry level sales role, in the bdc department of a dealership.

I guess I gotta get people to make appointments.

but i dont sell the cars, just the appointments.

we have to make alot of calls, emails, and texts.

any last minute tips for this awkward miscer.

inb4 i say on the phone "y-you, too".

as long as you dont accidentally say ******* or other potentially offensive misc lingo you should be good bruh

pretty much fake it till you make it in sales

You don't have to look them in the eye until they arrive, so you'll be fine.

Just rapid speed dial all day and yell "Come on doooooown! hoochie hoochie DEALS DEALS DEALS!" over and over like a carnival barker and you will end up owning the company by the next 2-3 financial quarters.

That's how it all works.

Some other ones to try on:

"You are going to DIE... when you see these deals!"

"You have NOTHING... to lose on 0% financing today!"

"Are you ready to KILL... it with these Summer sedans for half price!"

"Sweet JESUS call the POLICE... because these 2021 SUVs are a HOOCHIE HOOCHIE STEAL DEAL."

I’m incredibly good at talking tj and interacting with customers... like at ideal... yet I’m not at work so I just talk misc lingo

Idk bk you tell meh

in all seriousness - the role you are in is a grunt role. its ALL about volume. there are some tricks/tips on cold calling specifically but because you are marketing to consumers (b2c vs. b2b) those really don't apply.

the biggest advice i'll give is DON'T read from a script. If they give you a script, read it, make it your own and make it sound like its YOU saying it not the script.

just pound the phone, emails and texts and the appointments will come. also - if you do well at that, you will learn what pieces of what it takes to succeed at the next role (actually selling as opposed to booking appointments)

not face to face, but maybe phone sales.

just work on getting past your fears. do the things youre afraid of and youll be salemaxxing in no time

thanks brah very helpful, im hoping this job will give me confidence to succeed in a new position down the line. we'll see what happens.

I'd recommend reading how to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. I consider it essential reading for everyone regardless of what you do, but it's got some great tips that apply directly to sales and business in general.

Pretty much all that needs to be said. Sound confident and hustle, soon enough you'll reach $500/day CEO time
