CarSales Rant: What They Don't Tell You Behind the Scenes

In this video, I address one of the most common complaints in the car business: “Car salespeople aren’t paid enough.” I’m not here to sugarcoat it — and I’m not here to attack anyone either. After 20+ years in the dealership world, from salesperson to General Manager, I’ve learned a hard truth: dealerships don’t owe you anything. They’re businesses. Machines. Built on margins, efficiency, and performance — not entitlement. That doesn’t mean you can’t make great money. It means you have to earn it. In this episode of Car Talk, I break down the reality of pay, hustle, mindset, and ownership in the car business. We talk about why selling cars is more than just units, why many people stay stuck financially, and why hustle always beats talent in the long run. This video isn’t for everyone. It’s for people willing to take responsibility, think long-term, and put in the work. 💪 Hustle Over Talent.

Why I earned my GM position through effort, not entitlement Selling cars vs. selling the entire experience CSI, accessories, warranties, customer retention, and gross matter Why pay varies by store, market, and volume — and why leaving is always an option 00:06:26 – 00:07:45 | Personal Choice & Reality Check Watching people struggle financially while living expensive lifestyles Why the issue often isn’t the car business — it’s behavior and mindset My decision to break that cycle 00:07:45 – 00:09:27 | Real Estate & Financial Stability Buying my first rental property Saving $20,000, earning $400/month cash flow Why letting go of money was the smartest move How the car business became the foundation for long-term growth 00:09:27 – 00:16:45 | Hustle Over Talent Why effort beats skill every time Outworking more “talented” salespeople Having clear financial goals Why the car business isn’t for everyone — and that’s okay Detaching life goals from dealership frustration Lessons from talent vs. effort (including the Jamarcus Russell example) Questioning long-term dissatisfaction after decades in the business What salespeople should be paid based on performance Why fancy word tracks don’t matter as much as effort 00:16:45 – 00:19:41 | Management, Opportunity & Closing Message Why consistent effort creates management opportunities How entitlement kills growth My personal YouTube goal and why consistency matters more than production Asking for feedback on Hustle Over Talent merch Final reminder to stop making excuses and take action If this video challenged you, share it with someone in the car business who needs to hear it. 💪 Hustle Over Talent 📈 Ownership Over Excuses 🔥 Action Over Complaints Like, comment, subscribe, and let’s keep the conversation going.
