You're just a few miles from me...which is about an hour and a half in Houston traffic.

I drove a bmw when I worked at an audi dealer, and kept verizon service when I was selling for sprint.

How does that work/pay as compared to the folks selling on the floor? I'd like to get back into dealer work, just not in the high pressure floor sales position.

Pay plan is the same, I just don't have to stand outside all f'ing day, I get to stay around my desk.

Well, at least ½ of the people in Chicago would talk to him

That sounds fantastic.

Do customers come in to speak with you?


Congratulations, by the way! My apologies for rudely going straight into asking questions.

I think they believe they are a good fleet dealership. Although they have 9 or 10 fleet sales people, and only deliver about 60 units a month.

I have 5 sales guys including me and we did 6200 units last year.

...and that was actually down from 2013.

If I'm going to sell, this is how I prefer. Plus, the GSM brought me here, and I get a LOT of freedom. It is good so far.
