When you go to the IMI's Professional Register (we promote businesses with ATA accredited staff) there is an option for Used Car and New Car Sales Specialists but rarely anyone listed. Clearly I can understand why there'd be plenty of service & repair/mechanically-oriented professionals but as cars need to be sold professionally too, I'd have hoped for more staff following this route. I presume this traces back to car manufacturers thinking their training schemes are good enough? Or used car dealers not seeing a commercial reason to jump through training hoops?
