Hi friends, family, fiends, foes and funky folk! Dean Benson here, your go-to guy for everything classic rock and roll, and today, we’re shifting gears to work with the wild world of car dealerships. Buckle up, because we’re about to explore the 14 things that make car salespeople question their life choices on a daily basis. ( I ought to know, I am one!)

1. The “I’m Just Looking” Crowd

Ah, the old classic “I’m just looking” line. It’s like walking into a bowling center and telling the desk clerk you’re just there to smell the lane oil. Sure, buddy, let’s just stand here and stare at cars together. Good hobby.

2. The Mystery Shopper

These folks show up with zero information, expecting the salesperson to magically know what they want, how they want it, and when. It’s like trying to guess someone’s favorite classic rock song without knowing if they even like music.

3. The Price Hagglers

Negotiating is part of the game, but some customers seem to think they’re in a back-woods flea market. “Can you knock off another three thousand?” Sure, let me just check with my manager, who’s currently hiding under his desk in the fetal position, sucking his thumb.
