New Car Sales - sure has changed.
Back in the day, every new car sales professional was given a demonstrator. Some dealerships would sell over six demonstrators a day. The demonstrator allowed a new car sales professional the opportunity to learn the car and be seen in the car. It was a good time to be in new car sales. EVERYONE at the dealership was making lots of MONEY.
I was recently checking out the new Porsche's. I struck up a conversation with the Porsche salesman and asked him a few questions about his own personal cars. Yes, he owns several sports cars, NONE of them a Porsche!
I have a friend who worked at a new car dealership selling cars. She averaged 15 - 20 car sales PER MONTH. They were paying her $100 commission per car. Some deals would take her two to four days to complete. Amazingly, she is no longer in new car sales. Wonder why?
Yesterday I went on youtube checking out the new Teslas. One video featured an official Tesla sales professional conducting a test drive with a prospect. Halfway through the test drive, the prospect asked the sales professional if he OWNED a Tesla. Response: "No, I don't own one but my roommate lets me drive his Tesla." Huh????
