Just curious how many hours a week, on average, it takes to sell that many? Nice job, and happy new year!Well...35 years ago I was married for one whole day, and back on my way to finish Basic Training at Ft.Sill OK. Happy with my choice, looking forward to being with her in a month when I was done, unsure of where they‘d put me when I became a “ regular army” soldier, knowing only that it would be somewhere in the US.
Today still happy w/ my choice, glad that the Army is a distant memory, able to testify that Ft. Sill, and Lawton Ok sucks, and Ft. Rucker/ Daleville Al. is only marginally better.
December is finally done. I ended the month with 23 cars sold. That put me #2 in the dealership for the month, behind by 2 from being #1. Selling 23 cars in any month is going to have a significant payday...probably in the range of 10-12k at least...If i’m being reflective, I only wish I had known about this 20 years ago.
Water under the bridge now,...I don’t have a rewind button anywhere.....I checked.
I got a pretty full drawer of HF cordless tools now in my HF rolling chest. Kate held onto the 1/2” impact that she had originally planned to give me for Christmas and gave it to me for our anniversary instead.
If Covid wasn’t raging, My cordless stash would probably be invested in a trip somewhere across an ocean as a “ present to us”, So in hindsight...I’ll just have to make due with a bunch of tools instead
Sonic decided to actually close their stores today instead of being open the half day they originally had planned. That was so big of them to actually observe a holiday, instead of hoping they could squeeze in a few more sales by weeks end..
If the money that can be made here is a good thing, working retail hours is the price that you have to pay to get it.
Speaking of retail hours...I need to go get some washers from HD so that I can space the caliper bracket off enough to be able to put the brakes back on..I need to go to HF to spend the 100 gift card my Son’s girlfriend gave me for Christmas..
Maybe i’ll even work on the Monster. Who knows?
My wife's ex was like that; she tells me that he once got a paycheck made out to Doofus (inset last name here).
Thats it !!! Great explanation . Love the loud and angry with no apology
I’d be worried when she gets the matching Serta Memory Foam pillow from Menards. It weighs enough that she will not have to push much to hold it down to suffocate you. Or she could whomp you into the garden and not leave a mark. I have been on good behavior just in case since my wife got a monster pillow.
It’s all a Sonic pay plan, but probably different dealerships pay differently. When you look at the want ads, most domestic and import dealers are advertising the pay scale range to work there between 36-60k annually. At the premium dealerships like mine, it’s more like 40-80. As for me, it’s actually more like 100k. Being in sales my whole life, and being a BMW Genius first for two years, has made it easier, but you’re right, it’s not for everybody. We have had several new hires come and go in the 5 years i’ve been here.
it’s a 5 day work week. probably 45 hours on average.
I hate to break it to you, but your wife is right. You shouldn't have to have worked in IT for 42+ years to figure out your phone or your computer. It's not 1985, and software should be fully intuitive like Android used to be before they messed it all up. I actually do have a good marriage. Every once in awhile though, you will say or do something, and it strikes a nerve, and the wife gets upset with me due to negative transfer of a similar situation with our ex-husband.
Glad you are having an awesome sales month, and you are going to have money for car parts. It really astounding what you learn as you get older. I've done retail, and I was a good salesman. I wouldn't mind going back to that. It blows my mind that I have gone from $19.02/hr to $152.02/hr doing the EXACT same job over the last 15 years. Don't get wrapped up in those numbers by the way, that's credit hours, and we don't get paid like normal people. The best part about being a good salesman is that you can tell your supervisor where to stick it, and there is nothing he can do, because he/she needs you, and they know it.
I do very little hardware repair, it is mostly software. The government agency I work for has specialized software to do the medical part and it isn't like any other software you have ever seen before. Every 18 months half of what I know is obsolete, which means that I have new things to learn to keep my job skills up to par,
