Why does everyone has the wrong idea that car sales man earn a
good income? It may be so in the past - but not anymore.
You know why there are so many recrutiment ads looking for car
salesman? You think it's because too many sales to handle?
WRONG! It's because not enough sales - that's why need more
salesman to cast the net! You know how cheap it is to feed a sales
man? $400 to $1K only (depending on which dealership)! If the
salesman doesn't sell any car in the month, the company merely
loses a few hundred dollars feeding his basic salary. However, if
the salesman sell one car for the company, he helped the company
make a profit of tens of thousands of dollars! That is why when
sales is down, dealerships just take the easy way out by
recruiting, recruiting, recruiting.
And you see how the car market is like now? So quiet! You read the
news report that less people scrapping cars now? That means less
people changing car. That means every year got lesser COE released
(cos less cars being scrapped every year). That means COE price
keep going up. That means car price keep going up. That means even
less incentive to change car..
And some people think that a car salesman earn $3k to $7k for each
car. Crap man! I tell you, it's not even 10% of that most of the
time.
The pie is so small already, now more and more salesman come and
eat.. You know I have seen how many salesman on duty during a
Saturday or Sunday at Toyota Leng Kee Road? 46! Wah piang if you
suay suay serve a lousy prospect during your turn, you have to wait
for another 45 turns!
