The output of that plant was equivalent to an older plant that employed 300 employees. The plant was so neat and clean that you could sit on the floor and not get your clothes dirty. |

I would have fired him the minute I found out he was cherry picking If you knew anything about the business then you know that everyone cherry picks. Watch the salesmen suddenly have to go to the bathroom when certain people pull up to the dealership. |

Replying to: greanpea68 (Nov 26, 2008 11:06 am) Let's see GP. He told us he is a "used car" salesman at a Toyota dealer. This tells me he can also sell new if he likes and stops cherry picking. Now from reading all these stories from the pro's in these forums I gather that used cars is where the money is. I rarely heard about someone making 100 bucks on a used car. Now let's break down the numbers: 3-4 ups a day according to Alejandrom. at a 20-25% closing ratio, one of the four is going to buy if not today later in the week. So if by chance he doesn't sell him today but he did his job and a proper vehicle presentation and asked for the sale at least five times he will come back and buy. So let's take the month of november. There's 24 selling days not counting Tksgiving nor Sundays. Let's take 4 ups a day. 4x24=96 96x.20 = 19.2 cars. You do have a unit bonus plan correct? how about participating in Finance money, and how about the old "rust and dust" you do still sell that junk don't you? So what's the problem? You want to go sell Chevys? or worse yet Dodge? |
