Best way get to the dealers

Offer them a "spiff" they LOVE that shvit.

This has worked like crack rock on the local VW/MAZDA dealer.

Each time a Salesman brings a car in we write his name on the invoice. At the end of 2 weeks we tally his jobs and cut checks to all the Salesmen that have brought cars. We are getting roughtly 5 to 10 cars a week from them now.

A little 10 dollar rebate per vehicle is a small price to pay to get them HOOKED. Sometimes I wonder if the spiff checks are the only source of income for some of those guys by the way they act

"Hey man you put my name on that invoice right"

One guy gets anywere from 50 to 200 bucks we got him hooked like a bivtch but of course he has brought 20 cars in that time period. It works out for both of us.

I dont do dealer work. I dont have time for them. I dont make time for them. I dont kiss butt.

I want to add that I'm not saying that any of you have to kiss butt to do dealer work, just that in my town, their attitude is that I should kiss theirs. They all want to give me that little story of.......now I send lots of people your way........ Baloney! I say. They are happier paying the $69.95 dude and charging the customer $350.00 and putting more in their pockets. That's what I meant.

Go by and see them in person-then wait til they get pissed at whoever they are using-then you can wait 45-90 days to get paid!

I only am thinking of the dealer work cus it is cold and slow.....bills are due

It took me a long time to figure out dealers..then one day it dawned on me..dealers are like off the street customers..there are good ones..and there are bad ones..the difference is, once you've had a bad customer, that's it ..it's over. A bad dealer will keep giving you grief. Just know what qualities your looking for in a dealer, find them and be merry. I have a balance between dealer and off the street that I'm happy with .

Mazda, and Subarus (can they be any easier of cars ? )

the dealers I have are all respectful, work with MY schedule, pay promptly and never take my services for granted. I in return give them great service because they deserve it..other dealers I give them a couple of shots..if it doesn't work out, I walk out the door NEVER to return .

Excellen post guys.

great idea Mdiggity

[TintWizard]

I don't take p.o. anymore with the dealers I have just because we have another system that works..when starting with a new dealer ALWAYS get a p.o.

Ironic..one of the reasons I like dealers where I'm from..it's blowing snow outside , phone hasn't rang all morning, dealer just called, needs a Mazda 3 sedan done they just sold.
