sultan_emerr Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 What really goes on in the back rooms of car dealerships across America? What does the car salesman do when he leaves you sitting in a sales office and goes to talk with his boss? What are the tricks salespeople use to increase their profit and how can consumers protect themselves from overpaying? http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/artic...62/article.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Ohhh...my...gosh....it's late here and I only made it through page 4, but so far this sounds so much like my job at the Flooring Store! Which I got "suspended" for twice and eventually quit because I refused to lie to my customers....(Boss couldn't rightfully fire me because my "honest-tactic"-salesfigures were too good, he wanted to!!! ) The upside is that my customers followed me to my next job at the Furniture Store because I was up front with them!! I'll read the rest tomorrow, but right now, the hair on the back of my neck is standing on end! Ewww *shivers*, bringing back some very bad memories!This is looking like an eye-opener, Sultan, thanks for sharing it!Advice to folks--don't work commission. Yes, you'll make great money, but it isn't worth it if you want to sleep at night!Liz Edited February 28, 2007 by blim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I learned a lot of that from experience ... I got 'em back one time though. I had done my homework on a truck I wanted, gave the guy the list of what I wanted (to order from the factory) and when he quoted a price I got up to leave and said, "I told my wife I wouldn't go over ten thousand, I'll have to check with her first." I lied. I'm not married. He practically dragged me back, refigured the price to, gee, exactly match what I had already decided was a fair price. Imagine that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
