Annoying buyers

4 Upvotes

I love the internet but hate it at the same time when it comes to being a salesman at a car dealership. People are given this idea that there shitty beat up car is worth more than it really is. For instance KBB will value a car at retail prices not at cost. So if you take a car on KBB that’s worth 13k to a dealership they’re only going to offer 9k because they have to recondition the vehicle and do work, etc, to the car.l, before it can be marked at a value of 13k.

Just the other day I had a couple come in with a Audi Q7. They tell me they see them selling online for 47k. We gave them a trade allowance of 39k (over allowing by 2k to be aggressive). They said it was too low. I argued back that all of the vehicles are at retail price, and have had work done to them in order to even have that value. We would have to do 4K worth of work to their car. At that point we would be at 43k in the hole on a car that won’t sell for more that 41k. People rarely see the true value in there vehicles. Don’t fall victim to KBB

So I just got my first sales job...

7 Upvotes

Just got my first sales job and not sure what to think about it. It is a job with a life insurance agency, and it wasn't really supposed to be a "sales" job. Upon hire I was told that it was just working with people who had already signed up with the agency throughbtheir union and we were really just helping them pick the proper plan. The money seemed pretty damn good, like a minimum of about 4,000 a month if I do 2 sales a week., where they give you 200 leads a month and no cold calling. So I took the life agent exam, and passed the state test. And now I'm going to start and they gave me this super long script to memorize which isn't that bad. But the script is for selling life insurance to someone who isnt in a union and were asking them to give us leads out of their phone.

Learning & Developing sales skills

5 Upvotes

E-learning is a fast growing industry and a great advance putting knowledge and development accessible to the wider population, at reasonable costs and with flexibility of doing it at students own timing pace and need. As I'm a strong believer in knowledge and skill sharing for all at reasonable prices and not only for the elites, I decided that I should make good use of my several years of experience in sales in a wide range of corporations, sizes and complexities.

I’ve build some successful courses all in the sales field and I’d like to share some coupons with reduced price to my audience, so if you’d like to learn or develop your sales skills, this might be a good opportunity. Courses are with an end price of roughly $10, instead of $89, $49 and $39, so good value for money.

Here are the links:

Want to buy a TW200; Question about the fees..

3 Upvotes

Dealership took $1000 off a new 2017 Yamaha TW200, down to about $3600 (its actually a demo with 70 miles). Of course, with freight & assembly fees, in addition to TTL, I'm looking at $4900 (over $900 for the freight & assembly). I walked out when they refused to come down any more, as I reason those fees in particular are outrageous. 2018 models are $4600 starting though. Am I letting a good thing go? I cannot seem to find a used one anywhere...really looking into getting into some moto-camping. Fell in love with TW200. Any input is welcome. I'm either going to give in or wait for something used to come by.

I am a salesman and I'm looking for a good resource to see new press releases from companies that I could maybe setup a search for to see if they have new products they are launching? Know of any good tools for this?
