I learned a lot from this experience. Not only was it my first time in the auto industry, but it was my first job after moving to Colorado. I sold a Jeep Grand Cherokee my first month, however, after realizing the state of the car market and some discrepancies in my pay I decided to pursue my sales career elsewhere.
