I worked as an Internet Customer Relations Specialist for about 6 months. When I recently moved from Oklahoma to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina I realized when I started talking to dealerships that they are not utilizing their full potential in the Internet Department! I really don't know how I come across to a future employer considering I am very young (21) a single mom which since I can telecommute is never an excuse! I feel hesitant about trying to get back in the business because I was only in a GREAT Dealership for 6 months! But everyday I wish I was back in Internet Sales I LOVED IT! If I could get a little bit of direction please it would be greatly appreciated!
~Thanks Felicia.
 
Felicia - the universal language is money. Show me how you're going to make me money and then we'll talk a little more. Mystery shop the dealership before you go in for an interview, also critique the website or anything else they're doing - things you're comfortable with. Then build a proposal around "I showed you where things are off so you need to hire me because I will make *this better by doing *this, *this, and *this and generate this much more income for you." - you fill in where the *this's are. Be assumptive and straightforward. Old school car guys love the assumptive close.
