The thing that got me thinking though was that she did try to pitch the 2.5i to us, but she didn't really seem to know what she was talking about..
Maybe she was new, but all I could think was "Jeez, I can pitch a Subaru to just about anyone, and it's not my job.."
I mean, at least I would know what I was talking about and have some zest for the job. =D
Maybe I'm overconfident, but that's experience is pretty much why I'd decided to apply.
As I was talking to HR and going through the application process, sales came up. I believe I could have gotten sales if I'd asked, as I was told I could be acommodated.
In any case, just moving here and all, I'd like to settle in before jumping into a position like that (even for a service adv. position..).
Plus that and Lithia kind of reminds me of a backstabber in a fairy tale..

Here's the thing about car sales people. They don't need to know about the cars, because 99% of buyers don't know about the cars. Those of us that do know about the cars tend to get whatever deal we want through the internet or phone sales people anyway.
Therefore, dealers hire
salespeople not
car people. They want someone that can lean on the customer and wow them with their bright white teeth, slick hair, and silk clothes. You know, the standard grease-ball sales type.
