Car Salesman Reveals Unwritten Rule For Selling Cars. It Has People Vowing To Buy Elsewhere: 'Makes Me Feel Like Going To Carmax'

A car salesman, Jason Cremeans (@theconfidentcloser), questioned a dealership “unwritten rule” that requires salespeople to keep customers from leaving without speaking to a manager—even if it costs the employee the sale. In a video, Cremeans shared clips from two salesmen describing the practice: one said employees could be pressured into begging customers to go inside; another claimed he told his team they’d be fired if anyone left before talking to him. Cremeans noted he understands legitimate reasons for involving management, but asked whether making it mandatory truly helps. The post drew a customer-vs-seller perspective debate and Cremeans said he’s been rethinking traditional tactics after 30 years in sales.
