If you think you'd be suited to a career in automotive sales, the Automotive Sales College of Canada may be the right choice for you.

In today's automotive sales industry, the majority of workers have gone to college or university. Subjects of study include architecture, history, engineering, accounting, economics, journalism, education and more.

While our chosen fields of study play a major role in our personal development, they have very little to do with the profession of automotive retail.

At the Automotive Sales College of Canada, the following formula for success is key:

Education + practice + consistency + self control = auto sales professional.

This is the formula practised at the college, along with the motto of "'The more you give to your customer, the more you will receive."

Today's car buyer's are sophisticated. They expect knowledgeable and professional car sales people.

But while the product and the dealership are important elements in purchasing a vehicle, research indicates the most significant factor in the decision is the salesperson.

Customer service and satisfaction is the No. 1 priority of all manufacturers and new car dealerships. Manufacturers continually produce quality products, while dealerships continually strive to acquire skilled, educated and motivated professional sales staff.

The Automotive Sales College of Canada is committed to the education and professional development of automotive sales consultants.

The College is recognized as producing floor ready and professionally trained sales consultants who have been taught the importance of having a strategic game plan, which must be executed consistently in order to achieve maximum results.

Graduates of the Automotive Sales College of Canada are career-oriented professionals with a solid understanding of automotive selling as a profession.

What you can expect if you decide to enter this new career:

staring income of $35,000 per year, up to $150,000;

increase in income every year of 20%;

management opportunity within three years (incomes $60,000 to $200,000);

professional fast-paced environment;

company cars;

medical and dental plan;

employment stability;

transferable selling skills for any career;

career advancement;

employable in any city, immediately.

The program runs three to four weeks, for four to five hours a day, and guarantees immediate employment upon graduation.

The College is contracted by Toyota, Ford, Nissan, General Motors, Honda, Chrysler, Kia and Volvo dealerships across Canada for newly trained men and women of all ages.

The auto sales business is a people business. If you are a people person or are presently working in a futureless retail sales job, please call.

For more program information and to find out about start dates, call 905-564-1594 or e-mail asc8@sprint.ca.

Please note that not everyone will be accepted into the ASC program. You will be required to pass a personal interview and an aptitude test. No prior sales experience is necessary, just a willingness to succeed in this career.
