Pros
GENERAL MANAGER. A good boss goes a long way. Bobby Bentley down at Orr Toyota is in my top 2 jobs I have ever had in my life. The other was Hall of Fame horse Trainer Larry Jones. If there is a hall of fame for a general manager leading a team of sales through thick and thin this guy has got to be a top nominee. Week in and week out this guy is desking and dealing with everyday customer drama all while thinking up brilliant ways to get new customers in the door. Proof is in the pudding, This guy doubles the gross out of any of the 10 Orr auto stores from Texas to Florida. Marketing genius and he's not talking down to any one he is right there in the mix rubbing elbows with us on the daily. Hats off to Mr Bobby Bentley. I sure appreciate the opportunity.
Cons
The auto industry isnt for the faint of heart and they want you to just play the middle man. Selling cars is the easy part the hard part is selling whoever has the pencil. Along with asking the customer multiple times to hold on and let me go ask. I don't understand why there isnt a bottom??? Don't get to this number. Sell as many cars as you want to do paperwork that way. Try selling something you have no idea the cost of, a customer makes an offer, go to the desk and have them tell you that your handicapped at that price, customer leaves buys elsewhere, the next week the pencil in the same rig is $5000 less than your customers offer.....and if there is negative somewhere bet that coming out of sales pocket. I sold more vehicles that played the house 10-12 grand but they wrap it all up in the back so your paid a flat rate which is the equivilant of about $5.62/hour. The more the profit the more they stick in finance or warranty, or dock fees or trade loss that was just my downfall though there were guys there selling 25-30 cars a month and we somehow pulled out 120-130 units every month.
