Commitment would probably get my vote for the #1 answer, but since it is already said, I will go with....
A POSITIVE ATTITUE and a MIND LIKE A SPONGE! Lose the "knowitall" attitude and just absorb everything you can: Professional training is key, but also ongoing daily training through social media sites such as dealerELITE and fb, 20 groups, reading materials, watching video, watching others, mentors, managers who are leaders, etc... Also you can learn from those who do everything wrong... Learning what doesn't work, is sometime an easier lesson!
That is my 2 cents....
Great scene from City Slickers might sum it up best....
Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is?
Curly: This. [holds up one finger]
Mitch: Your finger?
Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean s***.
Mitch: But what is the "one thing?"
Curly: [smiles] That's what you have to find out.

My Mentor's name was Five Car Freddie!....JK
Yes,sure would make sense to have a real program like that and many stores do.

A mentor. Nearly all other professions provide some type of mentorship or apprenticeship to newly acquired talent. Rarely are people in other walks of life thrown directly into the fray and expected to perform equal to or better than their comtemporaries. In retail automotive, our customers are the gold. Yet, in mamy dealerships their is cursory training provided for a limited period of time. Auto sales is a dynamic and demanding profession covering many disciplines to be successful. A mentorship program would be beneficial to a new salesperson and of equal value to the dealership.
Well that is for sure.....I really think I pick up something about 'selling" every single day from somebody or some source....people like you,Nancy!
