A car dealership is probably not the best place to try to start a career in sales. There is a lot to know to be successful, and dude is right, your education can only do so much, but the important poitn you missed about him even saying that is that it was an objection you need to overcome. Now you need to show oyur follow-up skills which is the most important aspect of the business next to being able to close. Car sales has extremely high turnover for a reason,but if you are interested in being successful in sales I would recommend trying 24 Hour Fitness, as they offer some of the best on-the-job sales training you can find, and you will get a taste of what it takes to sell cars and other higher-dollar products. If you can last for more than a month there, then you might want to try cars, but jumping in with a customer service background will not likely give your the experience you need to be successful in the car business. Tenacity is what it's all about, but there is a lot about the basic intricacies of the sales process that you will need to be trained extensively in.
Either way, they are not going to call you back, they'll be waiting for you to follow-up.
