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.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
