Hey guys,

Thought I'd let y'all know I applied for a Salesperson position last week at Homer Skelton Ford in Olive Branch, MS--and got it!

I went in after work yesterday to check on the application status, and was asked back today for a second interview...and aced it. I'll be busy selling new Fords in two weeks, but I'll pass on as much insider info as I can about the new F-150s (and entire line) as I find out.

Stoked about this, if y'all can't tell

 

Nice one.

Will you get a 'Dealer connect' User/Password?

 

Good for you. See what you can find out about the Harley when you get the chance.

 

congrats on the new job! Find out how much 2013 tow mirrors are going to cost

 

Yes, will do ASAP and ditto lol

Trust me, I seem like a 1-trick pony with a a Flow Through STX, but I love everything abOut these trucks, and every bit of detail I can find out, you guys will be privvy to

 

I bet you will know more about the Ford trucks than most of the yahoos I've dealt with. Good luck!

 

Congrat's, now you'll get to see thing's from the other side of the fence! I sold Ford's for about 5 month's back in the late 80's. You'll also get to work some long hour's too.

 

Jim, thanks for the kind words.

The only promise that I can make is that if I don't know it, I will find out, in order to better serve my customers.

I'm hoping to do well at this, so that I and my fiancé can move to Texas by this time next year

 

I won't lie, I'll miss my M-F 7a-3p job, but after 6 years and a glass ceiling, I'm ready to get out there and rip n run

 

So no 'Dealer connect' User / Password then?

 

Sorry Ross, I haven't received any of that yet.

 

Hope you get access to that. Maybe they have a common dealer entry.

Good Online tool.

 

Good luck to you -- new car salespeople generally have the life-expectancy of a tail-gunner in WWII......

If you know anything about the vehicles you sell, you'll be ahead of the game -- everytime I have purchased a new vehicle I found that I knew 50x more about the vehicle I was looking at than the "yayhoo" salesman I was working with.....

 

Good luck! I'm sure it can be a great career for the right person.

Hopefully you have a good dealership and they will treat you and your customers right.

 

Don't talk about JackandJanet and Patman that way....
