I started working at the dealership in June. In December I was selling cars and this month Out of 6 sales people I am 3. They are all older then me, and all have more experience. I believe it's not how old you are, but how old you act, and how you portray yourself. Plus being a car guy, the others not, I know more about cars then any of them could ever know. Just the other day in fact a customer I took just wanted to look at the car, and when I asked if he'd read anything about it, he said yes and that he probably knows more about cars then I. I jokingly said, I don't know I'm a car guy too. He asked me what the most expensive car in the world is, trying to make me feel like an idiot. After a minute I took a guess and said the bugatti. He was surpised and said I was correct and stated how much it cost. That just goes to show you: Never stereotype. All the customers I've had would beg to differ with your statement. They all left happy, with a vehicle they loved, knew how everything on the car worked including checking fluids and were all thankful for all my help. I don't think your being a dick by making the statement you made, just ignorant. If you care more about age then knowledge and a great person to deal with you sir are ignorant. Also young guns like me may be even more willing to go above and beyond for your satisfaction. On a Saturday night if I deliver a vehicle I could just have people come pick the car up Monday and have the detail guys clean it for delivery. Instead I tell the customer I myself will go back and clean it so they can take it home. Anyways that's my opinion, you will have your own, as will everyone, but now maybe you will be a little more educated. Jordan T pm me and I'll be happy to let you know.
I agree with part of your statement about age. I am 24 and make 53,900 a year and manage guys twice my age. I am a FIRM believer in the way you conduct and manage yourself in a mature way throws the age # out the window
