Need your help people, been selling cars for the last 8 years, decided this morning that its not the job for me anymore so i just quit

What do you recon i should do now?? I still fancy selling something, just dont know what

mwp

give us a clue ... do you need high income ? do you have any moral codes ? what's your hobbies ? favourite color ? how many eggs do have for tea ?

MAC76

Ok,
I love cars and modifying cars, my hobby is cars ( oh and beer)
Dont mind what hours i work but has to be 35k plus
I would like to travel about a bit if poss
M

mwp

why 35k ? ... mortgage, kids, car finance ?

is that basic or OTE ?

merkin

I know the ideal job:

Car Salesman


oh bugger....

Brun

Any qualifications?

MAC76

£35k is what i am used to, i would take a drop in wages if the prospects were there! I am used to a very low basic i.e 6k and the rest comission!
Just fed up with car sales, want to do something a little more challenging! Just not sure what

MAC76

Oh, 11 GCSE's, City in Guilds for Information Technology and i sat and passed the first paper in the diploma for "elements of finance and leasing"

its hard to get a job never mind 35k. I think you're gonna have a big drop in pay

mwp

power tools
houses
wood
tyres
beer & crisps
eggs (big demand on this bbs tonight)
toilet paper (see above)

alternatively apply for every job north of 25k and see what happens to your life ... be the diceman.

ok it's getting silly now, i'll get me coat

If you do find anything that pays well and fun PLEASE mail me and let me know. Iv been looking for a job since i finished uni (July02) and have had no luck.
Good Luck and keep me updated

Why not work for yourself? Maybe something like Mellow's doing, needs a bit of investment to start off, but should be rewarding enough..

blimey... good luck mate, it is a brave step quitting before you really know where you will be moving on to.

Well its got to be done, that place was rotting my brain!!

Just done exactly the same mate, left my job of 5yrs last week. At least it gives me some spare time to buid my car though Gona have to start job hunting in a week or 2

MAC76

Yer, think i will chill out for a couple of weeks too, working in the Motor Trade gets you down and rots your brain cells!! Gonna see what i can do myself and see what happens
If it dont work i aint lost anything cos i hated my job anyway

MAC76

I have been thinking, i think i may go it alone and see what happens! I might buy and sell a few cars and when i have the money move into motorsport of some sort
It seems that allthough i hate selling cars it is what i am good at
Lets see what happens! May work , may not, at least i can say that i tried
What do you think? What do you think is missing from Subaru Land?? I.E Can you get all your parts in one place etc etc?
