LOL fook my bad....

To be very honest, I just forgot completely....

The biggest change since the job change = I got fat. like fat fat, I went from 130 to 132 LBs to now 190 LBs, none of my shirts and suits fits me, I have to buy blazers like 3 times, went from small to now large... and I dunno... fook

Dont listen to Badhobz, I was never #1, the only time I got #1 was when the real #1 went on vacation for like 3 weeks, otherwise I am consistently in the top three 99% of the time...

I guess I have the gift of coming off genuine and friendly? people do tend to buy cars off the people they like?

I am somewhere stuck in between (my manager has found this thread), but I like Hyundai because the Sales managers are nice and Finance managers are nice (huge help that the head of Business Office/Finance manager is literally my best friend).

I do want to cont to craft my skills and move to a luxury brand, but at least from what I heard from mutual friends, luxury brands aren't doing too hot at the moment.

Ultimately I do want to be at Porsche, it seems like the perfect balance between income and passion.

But from what I understood, as a Porsche advisor, you are expected to be very very VERY independent, you are expected to take care of the deal from start to finish, you shouldnt need to go to the sales manager unless it is a very unique situation.

They wont hold your hand like they do at Hyundai, at Hyundai, you are just expected to bring the client to the desking stage, if you cant close, no worries, bring a sales manager down to your desk, and the manager will try to help you close your customer. They don't do this hand holding crap at Porsche, and that is where I really need to up my game.

I think I can get to desking pretty confidently, but closing is a whole other story, I am not gonna lie, I only close a very small percentage of my client, and I think those client will buy the car regardless which sales are sitting across from them, any of the "difficult" clients, my managers constantly come down and help me out, and they seems to do the impossible task that I can not do.

If I want to suceed at any other dealer, I need to step up my game, defintely wont find the same sucess if I were just let loose at the floor of a Porsche dealer as I am now

Other updates, I am starting to weep the benefits of being in the industry for "a while", we had an EV sale last month, and rather than being on the phone trying to call every person I said hi to in the last 6 months, I was "top sale" for the sales event because people just came in and looked for me from referrals and such. That was wild, random people that I never met "came in specifically looking for Jacky to buy an EV because so and so told them to go to Jacky".

My ultimate plan remains that I want to go to Porsche. Even just for the internal product training hahaha, I assume it will be easier to digest than the "latest 2025 Tucson changes", but yea.

Thanks everyone and I will try to update again when I make a big change. But so far, still at Hyundai, because truly believe I am not quite ready for the next step yet~ that and frikkin Porsche Richmond/Langley aren't hiring LOL, I cant do Vancouver, that turn over rate just seems.... unatural....
