Anyone work within the motor trade? (sales) - audiA6tdi
Ive been working in the motor trade selling Fords for around 3 years now. Im desperatly trying to get out of the trade as margins have been cut and its now quite hard to make a living out of selling cars, not to mention the long hours.
Any back roomers out there in the trade? what are you views?
thanks

I was in the retail motor trade working up to parts manager. Pay was abysmal (worse than sales) and was going nowhere.

My escape plan was to go back to college part time (in my mid twenties) to gain some post A level qualifications. That has opened up opportunities within the motor industry but with proper pay and conditions.
