I would think you would need several years of experience to sell a Ferrari. thats an exotic and you are dealing with people that are well versed in exoticry.

Yes, and that is why Tommy Hilfinger bought a Enzo and was complaining it didnt have all the luxury items he was used to and he was very concerned that Ralph Lauren had not bought an Enzo yet and wanted to know why.



Dont be fooled a majority of your "high end" buyers are buying for status and nothing else. There are a few that buy because of what the car can do but I would venture a guess and say they are far and few between.



I would think a mid 50's man would like a hot 18 y/o to be his salesperson especially if said 18 y/o acted like he was sexy because he had a big wallet.

Yeah, my wife (when she was 16) sold a volvo to her mom, and knew more about the car than the salesperson. The guy offered her a job as soon as she was old enough.

problems:



-there arent many hot 18 year olds getting into selling cars



-not many high end dealerships are selling cars let alone hiring



I would start out by trying to sell Hyundai or something and move up

when you gain knowledge of how banks and all that other good stuff works

And by helping you with customer service skills. Customers can be pesky as ****, and down right rude sometimes. I know, I worked at wal-mart for 2 years in a country redneck smib smurf town.

Who knows, you might get the job? How old are you though? Age never really matters anymore when trying to get a job.
