I dislike used car sales, too many variables I can't control on the quality of the product. Not that I don't sell em, but I never made them my bread and butter even though the profits are much higher there. The reason I originally left was because I know that profession car sales positions are not going to be around forever. However, the direction I went isn't right for me and I am happy making a good income for a few years while I get my own business off the ground. No doubt the general buying public doesn't understand the value of a good salesman and that may be because there aren't enough good salesmen to start with. I'd not argue with that.

I did answer about quotes for myself in explaining how I do business. I gave several examples. I don't get quotes, I research pricing and then get one quote and work down to what I want with the person/company that I want to do business with. I don't trust their quote, nor do I judge them by it. I use my research to justify the price I want and roll forward with the deal. It seriously saves lots of time.

Several possibilities. It's possible you were working with retail folks and they didn't understand how fleet pricing works, cause it's different than normal rebates entirely. If you got quotes from different states, that's a whole different can of beans and you probably didn't get the deal you think you did. But certainly, if you're commercial in nature you're so much better off with a commercial professional. The retail guys aren't trying to suck at the job, it's just an entirely different can of worms.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
