It's a tough business. High turover and false guarantees of wealth.

One dumb SIL believed in the hype the manager told her... you can be making $40,000 a year or more! You get a salary but you have to sell. If you make more in commission, your salary will be higher. If you make less, you will owe them. You can get super screwed on that. Or, you can try to avoid that and go full commission. That's like risky, especially for a new salesman. This is why the high-pressure sales environment exists. When you walk into a room and you see a chart with names and Xs, that's a sales progress chart. You have to put in a lot of hours because sales hours are weird. Weekends are busiest so that is when you have to/want to work.

Another SIL has a boyfriend in the car sales business, but he's been in it for a long time and has clients who come back to him. And he works at a BMW dealer, where most of his clients are rich, and they lease, return the car after the lease is over and they lease a new car again. So he's one of the dudes who doesn't sweat it during low sales months and isn't hurting as bad as someone who doesn't have any repeat customers.

as long as you motivated and stay motivated you good

Oh, on an unrelated note. Suzuki will no longer be selling cars in the US.
2/3rds of the dealerships in the US sell 5 cars a month. Five. Five. Five dollar footlongs...

I did it for about a month. I've done sales before and I'm good at it but only if I believe in what I'm selling. I also don't like being pushy but if that field you have no choice. I couldn't deal with not knowing what my paycheck would be one week to the next. I also didn't like how skeptical people would be of me before I even said a word to them.

Its like they think Car Salesman = Con Artist

Its a decent job to take if you are in between jobs, but I couldn't do for extended period of time.
