I was trying to reply to Steeleblue but the stupid Pontiac ad bleeds over onto the reply button and when ever I try to click reply I get the ad instead. Steelblue, my understanding of this forum is to give average Joe/Joleen Consumer an idea of what the day to day happenings are behind the scenes at a dealership. This is it brother, 60% of our time is spent BS'ing about the most boring mundane things you have ever seen. When you spend 10-14 hours a day with the same bunch of hoolligans you run out of real important stuff to talk about. So the Story/BS ratio here is about the same as the Sale/BS ratio at a store. |

We’ve heard from some of the guys in the biz about their reluctance to talk about some recent deals for fear that their customer/s may be lurking in here and that would be a problem because you guys want repeat business and referrals and that is understandable. So, how about going back to your greenpea days and tell the tale about your FIRST car sale? Give details like: type of car, year, how much help you got from the desk to help you on your way to where you are now, how bad you beat him up or vice versa, (if you’re willing to admit such a thing) etc.  I can’t imagine how you’d get in trouble doing that. jmonroe

Replying to: joel0622 (May 21, 2008 6:25 am) It's not the Pontiac ad, it's those guitar images. They're pushing the column edge into the ads because the images are too wide. And for the record, I don't really mind the non-sales blather; I figure you guys have been here a lot longer than I have and probably will still be around long after I leave so it's kind of your house. But I did resent those disses on Chicago pizza. And until you started talking about the Coasters and Platters and Zodiacs etc. I didn't realize how OLD you guys really are.
