Considering a career change...how much can a female car salesperson expect to make in an Ontario Dodge dealer?

I currently work in a retail environment and I'm considering applying for a job in a Dodge dealership. Just wondering what an average monthly salary would be? Appreciate knowledgeable answers from Canadian car salespeople...

Thanks!Considering a career change...how much can a female car salesperson expect to make in an Ontario Dodge dealer?
Car salesmen are paid on a percentage of the profit of the sale. This percentage varies from dealership to dealership but usually runs in the 20% to 25% range.



Some dealerships use ';sales teams.'; In this method, one salesperson will give you the test drive, do the write-up, etc. and the ';team manager'; will close the deal.



In this case, they share the commission so if you buy a new car for, say, $300 over the invoice cost, the salesman may earn only a $50 to $75 commission.



In addition to his commission, though, the salesman can earn bonuses that are available from both the dealership and the manufacturer for good sales performance.



Usually bonuses - or ';spiffs'; - are offered to any salesman who sells, say, over 8 cars in a month. ';Spiffs'; may also be offered for meeting certain profit goals (for example, selling a car for $1,000 over the invoice cost), selling certain profit-making extras (such as paint or fabric protection, alarms, extended warranties, etc.), selling a particularly hard-to-sell vehicle, and so on.



According to a recent national survey, the average commission for car salesmen is $250 per vehicle sold. The average selling price per vehicle is about $1,000 over the invoice cost. And the average number of cars sold is 8 to 10 vehicles per salesman per month.





But I would say that being a woman you could do alot better because you will have more patience when it comes to the customer, good luck.Considering a career change...how much can a female car salesperson expect to make in an Ontario Dodge dealer?
I used to sell cars and both female salespeople sold more cars than I did. One didn't know squat about cars and the other was passingly knowledgeable.



It's all about closing the deal. People hate car salepeople because they are thought of as being pushy. If you can close the deal without seeming pushy, you can do well.
Women typically do very well.



It's hard for a man to tell you ';i can't afford it';



i've seen several women sell at dodge stores, and they made good money. Maybe 6000 usd per month.
