[QUOTE="D1984, post: 16091236, member: 170122"] Wow, forgot about this thread. Little update... I lasted about a month at the Chevy store before I started hating it and shopping around for other dealers. They didn't get anywhere near the leads they told me they were getting, nor were they doing the volume. And GM cut the CSI money in half which they also didn't tell me about. Plus the whole store was just a lot weaker and less efficient than I was used to in terms of actually selling. Their inventory management was horrible, the lot itself was way too small, and I had to park a mile away on a side street and walk to work which they also didn't tell me in the beginning. And the schedule I thought I could set turned out to be a lie as well. All this plus a long commute gave me almost 0 reason to work there. I was consistently making $8-10k a month at my old store and was told I would easily exceed that at the Chevy store, so when I saw how impossible this was I decided to cut my losses. Well, circumstance and timing being as they are, right when I was gonna quit anyways my old general manager called me back and offered me a sales manager position at his Nissan store. I took it. So now, I have a good crew working for me, and so far our front end gross is 4x what the other manager does with his crew. After seeing volume dry up for some of these volume based stores and watching 90% of their sales staff suddenly drop to minimum wage, I'm more than happy to be back to a profit based pay plan. Of course I'm making pretty much the same money I did when I sold Toyota, but I'm in a position I can use as a stepping stone to general sales manager and then general manager which is my ultimate goal. Plus, no more test drives or walking around the lot with customers in the cold wind or 100+ degree heat which is nice. So yeah, life is weird. Last night my new GSM jokingly asked me where I've been all these years and why I didn't come up sooner since I'm putting up numbers they aren't used to at all, and I told him the man was holding me down at Toyota, LOL [/QUOTE]
