Many decades ago I worked at a huge dealer in Fairfax right out of college. Almost every line available.
It was fun. I had a great time and learned a bunch.
Like how when your sales guy goes back to check that price with the manager it was just to BS a bit to make you sweat.
Like how I made way more money selling honda lawnmowers on a saturday morning than motorcycles during the week. (The trick was Honda were always a one pull easy start mower....The guy would lean in and I'd stop him and have his wife do it. Vroooom Started right up after I showed her how to use a pull start correctly....of course the guy thought...well shit if my wife can start it maybe she can mow the lawn and off it went.) I'l sell 6-8 every weekend once grass was growing.
That being said vehicle sales on a low margin product was not and will never be a big money maker for anyone.
Grateful for what I learned but wouldn't go back except as maybe a retirement job just for kicks.
Do the math. How much do I earn on a bike, how many bikes do I need to sell to do that.....and ask them....how many bikes did you sell last year?
