Since I’m just getting my start in car sales, I thought, “There has to be a YouTube tutorial for this!” Since, you know, there’s a tutorial for everything on YouTube.

About an hour later my boss, Matt, caught me sunk into a swirling cesspool of YouTube sales videos, a horrified look plastered on my face.

“Yeah… don’t watch those.” He advised. “Get the customer what they need and the numbers will follow.”

So no, I won’t be caught selling snow to a native Alaskan any time soon.
