I just hired a fresh unexperienced Internet person that hopefully we become my internet manager in the near future. She has sales and phone experience just not car sales. Do yall have any recommendations for training outside the store? Obvioulsy hands on training and getting in the trenches is the best training but just wanted to throw in some unique training from an outside source so she can try to avoid some bad habits.
 
If I may be so bold, steer her here for questions and answers -- I've certainly not come across a better gathering of good minds on the web (myself certainly NOT included!!).

Also -- as Joe mentioned, the GRUNTS will do their best to impose their ways on her and crush her eagerness, energy, and enthusiasm. This forum can be an excellent realm for support and encouragement.

Good luck!

You [or her] are more than welcome to post "day to day" questions on here. I respect what you said in your job ad that you posted here; I'll do whatever I can to help.

Thanks for the support and believe me we will keep asking questions. Someone once told me that the quality of your answers are only as good as the quality of your questions. Hope all is well
 
You can find 90+ recorded educational webinars on TK Carsites on Vimeo. Full disclosure: my company is responsible for posting these recorded webinars. We will however never promote our products in our webinars and include many guest speakers. You will find upcoming webinars on TK Carsites Webinar Series for Automotive Professionals (the next two upcoming webinars are by guest speakers).
regards,
Patric

Joe - Thanks so much for thinking of me here. (It is amazing how much that video strikes a chord with dealers. I just got off the phone with this gentleman and we will continue discussions. I appreciate you commenting first.)
Ty,

Get her away from the grunts, train her right!

Highly recommended reading for you!!
