['Recently hired a second person to work with me and I am optimistic they will help as sell more cars', "That's good news.  Did they have a good track record for sales in past jobs?", 'They do, plus we simply dont have enough people, so its a good fill in.']
Hope it all works out for you.  Selling cars can also be a stresfull job.
