I'm insane

[Matt Foley]

For the last three months of 2009, I couldn't find a job to save my life, so I really shouldn't complain, but....I am now working four jobs, not including my job as Huddle Badass.

One is even full time. I guess I'll be making up for the savings I lost over the past 10 months, but damn.

I tried the wait until one good job comes along approach. Kept losing out to someone's relative or friend. So now I am piecing my days together four different ways. And I bet there's some of you on here doing the same thing.

I don't really work too much but I have to be present at my 1 job probably more than you do at your 4 jobs combined

[Carolina Husker]

The world needs ditch diggers too, son.

I don't know. Starting next week, I'll be working about 60 hours a week.

thats an easy week for me. I sell cars, so they require me to damn near live at the dealership..I was in management for a while until I decided it wasn't worth the stress, so now I make roughly the same money, just have a ton of free time. When I don't have a customer I literally have nothing to do, can get quite boring sometimes...

Most of the cool poo on the net is blocked, so I'm stuck on the Huddle all day waiting for you guys to post something interesting

Thought about trying that. There are like three dealerships within two miles of my house. Just afraid of doing sales. I'm not a natural bullschitter. And I don't mean that as an insult. It's a gift I don't have.

Its impossible to budget yourself and until you establish yourself as elite in the field you'll be treated like dogpoo at most dealerships. I am very gifted at it and never have the need to b.s anyone but I consider it like a gift and a curse.

It's a gift cuz sales come easy to me, but at the same time I hate sacrificing my youth up in this bitch 24/7. Also alot of us who have early success at it think were always gonna make good money every month, so we accumulate alot of debt thinking its no prob to pay back. So my required income just to pay all my bills every month is insane and now I just work my ass off and have nice things but have very little free time or disposable income

It's funny I was just watching a movie called Lifeguard, where Sam Elliott plays a lifeguard given a job selling Porsches, and the sales manager gives him all kinds of hell when he comes in for his "interview".

this industry is in a world of its own. If I have kids I will never let them do this for a living.

And one more thing that is a fact, customers lie 10 times more than your average salesmen.

I'm sure. Is it true you're selling you more than you're selling the cars?

[Doyle]

I've been in sales for 10 years now. I love when new sales people come in all eager. They buy into the "sky is the limit" and think it will be awesome. I think its like 70% of people who get in to sales aren't still doing it 2 years later.

That is very true. I work for Hyundai and have several competing dealerships in the area. Customers have no loyalty to us "fill in your own steroetype" salesmen.

[Carolina Husker]

I'm in sales and I hate everyone and everything.
