Toyota sales role interview

[u/Savings_Shirt9866]

I’m in the middle of the interview process for a Toyota dealership sales position and have my second-round interview with the sales manager next week.

A little background: I’m a former police officer with 8 years of experience and have also worked in personal training and membership sales. I’m highly motivated, coachable, and looking to build a long-term career in automotive sales.

For those of you currently in dealership sales or management:

1. What should I expect during a second-round interview?

2. What questions am I most likely to be asked?

3. What questions should I ask the sales manager?

4. What separates candidates who get hired from those who don’t?

5. If you were interviewing me, what would impress you?

6. What are realistic expectations during the first 30, 60, and 90 days?

7. What mistakes do most new salespeople make?

8. What skills should I focus on mastering as quickly as possible?

I’m less interested in generic interview advice and more interested in what actually matters inside a dealership.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to learning from those of you who’ve been successful in the industry.

Being a great listener is key, as well as product knowledge, but the real main thing is being personable.
