Jip, I'm about to strangle you. I'll leave it at that.

"...Jip, I'm about to strangle you..."
 
Now that's something I'd tip to see.

I don't know... except for not tipping the delivery boy, his post seemed fairly reasonable and balanced. Stated "some" and "many" salesmen... not all. So, he wasn't painting all salesmen with the same brush. A bit uninformed/misinformed on a few matters, but I don't think he was trying to troll on you guys. .. said several nice things about the business and salesmen as a matter of fact.
 
Sorry oldfarmer, isell has first viewing dibs on any strangulations that involve my neck. But, hey... since he never reads my posts anyhow, I'll put you down for a front row seat.

Actually, I found his post to be incredibly uninformed.
I think his views on tipping are quite indicative of his personality.
 
Fact is, every year millions of new and used cars get sold by dealers. The vast majority without any hysteria or anger or hurt feelings.
There is a small minority of bad salespeople out there, there always will be.
 
You come to place like this,and you hear from a few people and you assume that every car dealer and salesperson is crooked and useless and you simply don't take into account all the transactions that go smoothly. that never get talked about.

I went to this training and paid the 294.00. They gave us all an interview at Toyota. The class started with about 43 people and the last day it was down to 22. From what I heard they hired 4 or 5. The rest of were supposed to work with TK and get interviews at other dealerships. I got one at Berger Chevorlet and was told I would be called back. After a week of twice a day phone calls I gave up since they were never returned. At TK the last email I got was they left messages at some dealers(that I contacted myself) and only got voicemail so it would be in my best interests to persue these dealers on my own.
 
Whoa friends can't I do that myself without paying 294.00 have not heard from them in over a month it always that it's up to me to do it. Iwrote a complaint letter asking for my money back to the CEO of TK Worldwide. I would stayu away from these guys you don't charge for something you can' deliver.
 
I went through AIG auto sale training in Arizona and they interviewed and got us placements at dealerships BEFORE the training. We all had jobs. The training was way more comprehensive that TK, lasted a full week and was FREE!!

We had to pay before we would get interviewed by Toyota. and it was due on the second day no mention of them "fronting" the money.

Does wishing have any influence on the outcome?
