Yeah, I work at a lexus dealership (I started there at 17) and we've always had "vehicle delivery specialists" which do this exact thing... I was actually one for a year before I was promoted to a salesman a few months ago (I'm 22 now and also go to college full time.) They sent us to technology classes a few times and I honestly know the cars inside and out after all of this- much more then the average salesman so I see that it helps me a huge amount in selling cars also because I'm pretty much just showing them everything in the car and they fall in love with it all by themselves. Besides that, it was a big success for Lexus as well because it takes a huge load off of the salesman- they also get the deliveries all ready, do the paperwork with the customer etc etc. Also, the way they are paid salary and commission (the way Lexus does it atleast) is 2 alternatives- they pay salary plus pay you per delivery (they used to pay 40 per car), but now they pay salary plus 25 per perfect survey you receive from the customer.
