There is no trick. Learn your products and your competitors products, treat customers as you would wish to be treated, and be HONEST. Follow up with your customers regularly and if you are any good after 3 or 4 years you should be making a good living. The car business is NOT a get rich quick scheme, it takes years to build clientele and income. Work hard, and be patient and it will pay off for you in the long run

I am a Master Certified Sales Consultant.
{which includes being product certified & recertified each year}
I am also a certified Truck Specialist
And Hybrid Certified
And an Alternative Fueled Vehicles specialist.
I have 2 years as a Lease Manager at a Chevrolet/Vw dealer, 1 year in Finance & Insurance at a Ford dealer, & 22 years at Ford (selling both New & pre-owned)
I have thousands of customers.
I have absolutely NEVER EVER done anything dishonest, illegal, or sneaky TO ANY OF MY CUSTOMERS .
Perhaps that is why I have been so successful & have clients that keep coming back & buying from me over & over again & referring their friends & family members to me.
I resent the 1st answer due to the fact that it perpetuates the myth that all car salesmen are dishonest. & That is just not true. I'm sure that there are some but those are few & far between & they give us an undeserved bad reputation.
Dishonest & sneaky salespeople don't last in the business .
I don't have secrets or tricks.
I take an active aproach in learning what each individual customer needs. & I know my product inside & out.
I learn about my competitors products.
I research & learn constantly.
If you read through some of my previous answers you will see only 'truths' and I can always back up my facts.
Knowledge is key.
Customers come to you for information. Give it to them. They want to know which vehicles will suit their needs, wants, desires, expectations, etc.
Thats the hard part. It's not really hard but it takes knowledge & skill to do that.
The negotiations are the easy part.
Remember that if PRICE were the ONLY reason why people bought cars ...they would all be driving YUGO's
It helps that I absolutely love the product that I sell.
& I love coming to work every day.
I love the dealership that I work for & the people that own the dealership incidentally are my managers. I work for a family owned (25 years) & run dealership with an impecable reputation
