Joining the MINI Motoring Advisor Club

Its official, as of Monday May 29th, I will become a MINI Motoring Advisor for one of our local MINI dealerships. Needless to say, I am very excited about this opportunity and totally new career path

I will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your new MINI (Features, ordering process, etc) and hope to have the opportunity to unite you with the MINI of your dreams in the very near future

Cool! Congrats!...I'd love to be able to do that, but my age (19) hurts my chances, and the closest MINI dealer is about 50 mins away which is a little too far to drive. One of my friends is trying to get me a job as a Ford salesman this summer, she sells them and she's only 19 as well. We'll see how that goes...anyone want a Mustang?

Anyway, congrats on the cool job.

Should we start the questioning yet?

How much does the job pay?

Thanks guys for the encouraging words of support!

As far as the pay is concerned suffice to say it is 100% comission based and the salary depends on the amount of hard work and dedication you want to put into it.

This is a dream come true. Talking about MINIs and being around MINIs all day long!

I hope to not need a new one too soon, but if I do, I'll buy from you for sure!

If you are working where I think you'll be working, I'll be there in the near future and will look for ya!

Best of luck!

Ken

Congratulations, I bet it would be a fun car to sell. But you may want to be a little more delicate with potential customers than I've seen in some of your posts.

Oh heck, C4! I was on the road and completely missed this great news! I had often wondered if you weren't already an MA for MINI! LOL! Your enthusiasm and attention to detail will serve both your customers and your dealership well. Happy advising!! YAY!!! *thumb's up*

Congrats on the new career

Thanks to all for your support!

Its been a fun but busy first week. There is a lot of leg work involved in getting someone's car out the door but the grin on my customer's faces once they get the keys to their new MINI makes it all worth it!

This is a great job... you get to talk MINIs all day long and you get to sell a product that people fall in love the minute they take a test drive.

Downsides? Looooooong hours, work on weekends, not much of a life outside of the showroom. But the pay is great and being on a comission based environment, the sky is the limit!
