Car sales executive interview tomorrow - any tips?
Discussion
Been posted a number of times before here on PH... But tomorrow I am having an Interview to be a sales executive at Evans Halshaw Ford.
Any tips or ideas on what questions I may be facing? I have some basic experience in sales and working in the motor trade, but I'd like a bit more of an idea on what to expect in my interview tomorrow? I have researched a bit into EH history etc..
Any advice and tips would be much appreciated!
Thanks guys!

Try to worry less about the questions you'll be facing and more about the questions you should ask. For instance, what does a typical day involve, what is expected in the first 6 months, what is the difference between your top sales person and bottom sales person, do they have any reservations about you, next steps etc.Any tips or ideas on what questions I may be facing?

Also, remember to be on time but not too early, be smart and smile.
Good luck!

They'll want to know what motivates you, that you're willing to out in the time that's needed and willing to work your ass off.
Take it from me it is hard work, they'll expect s range of products to be sold, finance will be a big thing with EH. Good luck!
So had the interview yesterday... I met with the branch manager and it was quite an informal relaxed sort of meeting in all honesty. The manager basically said it was a way of getting to know me as a person and was just a basic overview of how the company operates and then a quick run through of my CV and past experiences.
All seems to have gone very well, hopefully hear back next week to see if I am to attend a second interview! Watch this space

Aim for an independent specialist instead of a main dealer then, more about the cars and less about the add ons (But, in main agents they are what gets you the money). That's why I no longer work at a main agent, the focus is all in the wrong direction for me!
Good practice, but if you can talk to people and like cars (as in really understand and appreciate them) the jobs easy.

A second interview for a salesman role? Pfft.
I've not had to have multiple interviews for years. Only time I did was at a company in which the guy was a wker anyway.
All the best with it
You must work for some crappy organisations in very junior roles. I've not had to have multiple interviews for years. Only time I did was at a company in which the guy was a wker anyway.

Good luck OP
In the US for a sales role (Software admittedly), you normally go through 5/6 rounds of phone interviews, skype interview, face to face day on site and a final presentation.
