No more car sales? Wow! That's what you were doing, right -- some kind of sales manager gig at a car dealership?

That is correct. I did that for about 14 months after I had to shut my biz down due to people like CompUSA. That's just the market, you know?

I was a fleet manager at a Ford dealership here in the DFW area. When I got the call to come back, all the folks at the Ford dealership felt was a sudden, cold breeze. That breeze was me leaving with the "hurryupness."

Car/truck sales is a bad gig in more ways than one. Even experienced salesmen can't make it like they used to due to competition which depress price margins. The only folks making it in that field now are those who live in smaller areas where dealerships aren't owned as much by major corporations (like AutoNation, Sonic Auto, or Van Tile) and finance managers.

I can imagine. I've been doing some jobs that really suck, too.

Remember the telemarketer trying to sell you phone service, that you slammed the phone down on about a year ago? That was me. :-p
