:agreed: And you seem like a decent guy. Decent guys don't sell cars. Scumbags sell the hell out of cars. Even the good ones.

Good skills for a route job. And sales on a route are nothing like at a dealership.

Couldn't help but quote this. And no offense to anyone here, I know it's not ALL, but......

It works for him though. Just not my style.

Suprised he didn't show that pressure cooker scene from Glengary Glen Ross where the First Prize is some gorgeous cruise/trip and second place gets steak knives... !

Gettin' fired the first time hurts. Then you get over it.
