Finally the almost sales manager is offering to pay for shipping on mailers but still offer no real plan to increase sales.


I know this industry offers its sales reps a chance to earn six figures but it isn't possible at this dealer.


What makes a great dealership? Now that I have a years experience in a zero growth company it would be nice to work for a more proactive company.


Wow 1 whole year woooohoooo. Change professions! Seems you want a job not an opportunity. Seriously this business is for entrepreneurs make your own plan.

You don't understand the beauty of this industry. Its the last one where you can determine your own income.

Treat it like your own business without any of the expenses, None, Zero, Nada, Zilch. For your investment of ZERO (and obviously Zilcho previous experience) you get to share in the profit. Wait a minute I should start charging like brokers charge realtor's. Hmmmmm?

Let me tell you everyone of our reps 9 in total make about $100k Plus up to $225k. And that's in a very secondary/tertiary market.

You make yourself great,
1. Does the dealership service the equipment adequately?
2. Do you get a copier when your client orders one?
3. Do they have a truck or a delivery service deliver it?

If "Yes" the dealership is doing what they are supposed to do now you need to get creative and do what your supposed to do and make calls and find opportunities then analyze the opp then propose, then close. Rinse and repeat.. How many sales books have you read? Are you A+, CDIA, Manufacturer certified.

Dang no one at quota the dealership has a hiring problem not a program/policy problem.
