Car Dealership Calls: Where Sales Pressure Begins
Calling a car dealership feels like walking into a trap. Sales staff are trained to get you on the phone and keep you there. Simple questions about pricing or availability turn into high-pressure sales tactics. Even service department calls involve upselling.
