Sales Associate resume example

Now for the sales side of it I did everything from greeting the client when they were on the lot browsing cars to interviewing them to best figure out their needs and using the knowledge I have of cars and the features they come with to find what would best suit them as well. At the dealership there were occasions were I would have a client with a constrained budget. Having to work around this I would either help understand their finances and land them on a car in their budget, or even in some occasions we would discuss their spending habits briefly and I could explain how if they fit their budget within the car that they love rather than vice versa they will be happier because it has all the features they were looking for and can realistically afford.

As a Detailer my responsibilities consisted of detailing new and used cars that were sold or cleaning up trade-ins. I also managed the lot inventory and made sure the cars were in order and if there were window stickers missing I would take care of it. I even frequently drove hours away to other dealerships to execute a dealer exchange were we traded one of our vehicles for one of theirs. This position taught me the importance of time management and making sure I had enough time to either get all my tasks done by the end of the day. Or even working efficiently so whatever car I was cleaning would be ready by the time the customer who just purchased it was finished up the purchase process. Driving as far as I did during the dealer exchanges also helped out in my driving skills and taught me to be more observant of my surroundings.

I worked outside splitting wood, mowing grass, and weed whacking. I loved the physical labor side of the work but the monotony of the job was not ideal. I also had another co-worked who I worked well with and he spoke very minimal english, so I would say that the job taught me a lot about communication and body language. As well as working together to get a job done more efficiently.
