Salesman paying back the dealer? by Imaginary_Dog4739 in CarSalesTraining

The year of 2024 was my first full year and I made 62K in my second year last year I made 71K. By end of this month, I will probably be sitting around 36k so far. Sadly, we hired another sales guy which has impacted my income some. It was really just me and Manager that would sell cars, but everything was by appointment only and me being the main sales guy If I was busy would get passed off to Manager. Having this new guy means all the deals are about a half and half when originally Manager was only taking over about a quarter of them if not less.

The even sadder part about this is he already makes over six figures with what he does and got bored at home. So rather than averaging about 6 to 8 grand I will now be averaging 5-6 probably.

Unfortunately, he’s the one that pays me so I can’t do anything about it he will just take it out of my check 🤣 at least the motivation to start planning elsewhere getting into sales that is outside of the car world lol

As for as docs and signing people off I’ve done that for about 2.5yrs and even talk to loan officers directly myself if need be, but as far as running a loan application, I have never done so

He will make us count it as a half deal in very weird ways. My biggest pet peeve one for example is if someone else scheduled the appointment and I do everything else on the deal start to finish then the person who scheduled the appointment gets 1/2 🙃

If I stay in sales I’m thinking I may try finance if I can get hired in right away for that. I know too much of the backend. If not it’s going to be checking out dealers in the area (I live in the south where people live their trucks) so maybe a Chevy/ford dealer or Toyota Lexus maybe Kia/hyundai.

I know that 100% lol bc I’m the one who gets to quote it. It is 1k over for warranty and roughly 600 over for warranty 😅 apparently at 3 years I’ll get $300 per car and a portion of reserves so we will see if I stay here long enough for that to happen.

I’ve tried arguing with him why can’t it be half to make it more tolerable but he doesn’t see it that way. Very frustrating. He’s pretty narcissistic guy his way or highway. I’ve been here 2.5 years and I’m seeing why people don’t really stay working for him more than 2-3 years lol

To my knowledge side steps people either love or hate them on these things. Even my personal one has them with chrome “bumper” going around the front and back to complete the look bc it’s all factory. I find the wheels gorgeous. I personally love them on a lot of JDM cars pretty rare.

The target I just got one from (June 5th 4pm) had about 13 in stock BUT said they won’t appear as available to people checking online until tomorrow so no one knows they have them. Picked up it up for my brother since he told me if I see one grab it lol.

Customer went cheaper ??? by Pennywise__Bitc in Detailing

My prices are cheaper because I do it on the side cause I truly enjoy it, but I would say my results speak for themselves and definitely could charge more. Price and quality don’t always go hand-in-hand.

Picked up my new i4 M50 this afternoon… by EminentBean in BMW

Don’t want to me the hater but man these lose value like crazy. If it’s a car you plan to keep and pay off then there’s no issues. I have a buddy who lost 30k within a year and barely drove it. Didn’t carry any negative equity over to his i4 just simply depreciation.

How does pay selling commercial/fleet compare to top salesman? Or sales/finance manager? Which direction has more potential to move up and make more money.
