thank you gentlemen :)

drew, i have owned 2 BMW 5er's and a few other Japanese automobiles. That's my background. My knowledge about automobiles, especially Mercedes Benz, is very little. I had never been a car sales man before. No experience whatsoever. I want to be the best and yet still be able to have a good reputation at the same time. the automobile business has such a dismal reputation and i plan to set myself apart. If you have any advice for me, Drew, I am all ears :) Thank you.

good commission i guess.

my previous company is selling 1 MB every two days. two months before the year ends, they got nothing more to sell. that's where grey market comes in.

they spend their time having outdoor activities fun and good night life.

drew, thank you and i couldn't agree with you more. because i've been selling for 10 days, i don't know too much about MB cars. perhaps, you can give me some pointers about them in general. i'm going to learn as much as i can. in the past 10 days, i've sold 5 cars. the proudest ones are the '06 E55 and CLS 500 :) i sold the CLS tonight purely because i gave my client my honest thoughts of white vs. burgundy color. i didn't push people whatsoever. i like to have my clients look at me as a person rather than a salesman, which those 5 people did. i hope to build my clientele in the years to come.

walker, i make more on used. commission on new cars isn't great. however, my dealership gives out great bonuses and incentives when you reach a certain number.

if i could serve anyone in the new england area, please do not hesitate to contact me. thank you.

best,
