by the way,,,the real bias in news isn't really conservative or liberal. there are 2...laziness and pro business. laziness---it has become far easier to simply parrot stories rather than to actually research and write your own. i see this daily in the media. everyone copying each other,,,no one doing actual fact checking or researching but assuming the "other guy did it." if you pay attention, sources are now 2 or 3 removed rather than being d

1st off,,,i commented on Rice's testimony and my view, that i have held since she was appointed long before 9/11. i went back and read my post here...which was not angry nor partisan. there was not one word in all caps or anything to suggest just anger as being a driving force. also, i am not a democrat, so partisanship is not possible. i am an independent who held elected office as a member of the GOP during the end of Reagan's tenure and Bush 41's se

sometimes facts are negative and not just political spin...i thought the news was too easy on rice yesterday after that display of lying and incompetence. someone should have handed rice a piece of juicy fruit on the way in...to see if she actually can walk and chew gum at the same time. at this point, someone should hand her some paper and a pen so she can resign. i am tired of her incompetence and lying to cover it. she was not exp

Ok. we're in the box. Throughout the process, the salesperson has been peppering you with certain "closing" questions. Here, in the box, those questions will increase in frequency. Most of them will not seem like questions that you are giving commitments to, but they are. Remember when I brought up a very common question that the sales manager or sales perso

Salespeople are told by their management that they have 1 job generally. That job is to close sales. While some dealerships may have specialists who "close" the customer "in the box," it is the salesperson's primary job responsibility to cause cashflow. Their job is not to show cars, be a center of information, be a liason between the customer and service or any other

one not e on "attack" and the "hoity-toity" way people like to seem above the fray in denouncing it....it's weak, and a cop out. regardless of how someone comes at you, whether it be with smiles or a chip on their shoulder, it doesn't matter. to escape actually debating issues by using the logic of "you attacked me, therefore i win" is weak and only serves the fragile egos of those who get upset over someone else's tactics...and usually it's j

one more note dyno...the certified warranty i was referring to in the scenario of the used car was always charged to the used car dept. ...i wasn't referring to an extended warranty, but the one that a manufacturer offers and advertises on lower mile used cars. although many of these warranties are in fact exteneded warranties, like the ones that are bought in F & I, they were charged to the used car dept. at both chrysler dealers and saturn

thanks for the comments dyno...to answer your question, no, i have not been out for a while...the last 2 dealers i worked for did and still pay at least a 25% commission on used cars. one paid 30% on grosses over 1000 and 35% over 2000. i will be getting more into profit centers soon as well as all the other behind the scenes stuff...yeah, some of it may be a little long winded, but they are basically rough drafts for a book (thus, it isn't re

After the info has been presented, and you have taken your test drive. Perhaps you had a trade valued. The deler at the earliest opportunity, will move into "closing' mode. There is an old acronym in sales called "A.B.C." or "always be closing." Meaning that at every point from the greeting to the end, always be looking for the opportunity to get a commitmen

Now that we've been introduced to our sales consultant, and have narrowed in, at least generally, on what we might want from this dealer, The sales process moves to the "selective demonstration" part.

When you purchase a car, or anything for that matter where a professional salesperson is involved, you get put through a process. This process, which was mentioned briefly earlier, is called the "sales process." Virtually anyone who goes through any kind of retail sales training learns this process in one form or another. It isn't always exactly parallel, but the majo

When considering financing, is it smarter to go with the dealer? Is it smarter to get your own? Pay cash? Lease? All of these questions come up when financing a car. A little understanding of the process may make the process a little less frustrating and help you get the best terms for you. When the dealer quotes payments, it's usually at a "generic" interest
