We call it "reverse sales" because the hustle is the same, but the pressure flips. You're the one holding the checkbook. If you've worked the auction lanes, appraised trade-ins, or you're a current or previous salesperson ready to be done with floor traffic, keep reading.What You'd Actually Be DoingYour day is yours to run.
