Never done anything like this before. First day was kinda chill , it's a pretty easy job for the most part the only thing I don't like so far is how pay works. It's commission only , was kinda hoping for minimum or commission in case of bad weeks and what not.

Anyhow was just gonna ask the huddle if anyone has ever had a job similar to this and if so any tips you'd be willing to give?

what do you do?

I call dealerships and attempt to either take their excess inventory (vehicles only) and sell it or i'll attempt to sell them something i've gotten from another dealer.

@BB yeah it's really sketchy to me but my boss is a friend of the family and I don't have to pay for gas to get there so I mean i'm not losing any money in the process so we'll see how it goes.

ah ok. My mind immediately went to tracking down cars people weren't making payments for.

That sounded awful to me, but what you describe doesn't sound like a bad gig (except the lack of base pay).

Yeah like I said the job itself isn't all that bad it's 9 to 5 , 6 days a week. All I do is call from a list of numbers to try and set up potential clients. I got a couple 2012 F-150s ( we're looking for only fords at the moment ) and a 2012 fusion with eco boost i believe it was. Although it's a lot easier to get inventory than it is to sell it i've noticed.

Oooh, Commissions jobs are a double edge sword man. You have to hustle like no other. I personally didn't mind them. If I had a choice I wouldn't do them.

If I don't know the product well, I won't sell well. I rather know what I'm talking about than talk out of my ass to a customer.

That's a big thing for me right now , i'm not big on cars and trucks but I am really good with numbers so it's better for me to have to learn about that rather than the financial side I guess.

If he is a family friend than he may be more likely in taking an interest in helping you succeed. There are good commission only jobs out there but for every good one there are 10 bad ones.

It's a woman and yeah she asked for me specifically I'm the 2nd person she's hired in about a month and a half of being in business. She said i've always been one of the brightest people she knew and i've never told her a lie and that's the type she was looking for so I agreed to help her out and in turn she takes me to work everyday.

      I’m out on Bryce, Canales and this team

      This isn’t even mediocrity sadly. I would have been fine with a respectable performance that allows your players to make the play. He is the weakest link on the offense.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Ronnie Bass · Posted

      He obviously can't get signifigant velocity on throws beyond 12 yds. Quick game he's fine he can read leaverage and rip a stick route. But those 2 balls where you have to get air on it over the 2nd level but with pace he can't do it. He has to generate power from the ground up, he's still throwing off platform like Mahommes and he'll never have that arm. I think he knows whats open an can can actually get through progressions but he knows he doesn't have the velocity to throw that tight window ball or too a primary route with minimal separation, so he extends the play at times just so he can buy a easier throw or make the defense breakdown. Thats not sustainable.  He's simply not a playoff QB, he's serviceable and he's a great character guy but he's not winning you a championship even with a loaded team sadly. Some guys are great college QBs but just don't fit in the pros i.e Wuerfful, White, Crouch, Bennett, Manziel etc. The NFL is a different beast when it comes to the cerebral side of things and theres a lot of inate skills that come into play.
