Niteblu Neutral Newbie January 30, 2008 Share January 30, 2008 (edited) I had a chance to talk to one of my friends. Who was a T*n Ch*ng SE. Told me that on average. Most of the folks on a N*ssan showroom were earning 5 digits/month. I've heard all these stories about starving SEs. And how we shouldn't squeeze our SEs. But man. to pull in excess of $100-200k/year. that's not exactly peanuts. I heard as well that B*rneo SEs can do just as well, or better, on average. Their comm/car are less than most makes. Volume is much more though. From a B*rneo SE. "I forgot how to sell car already. Just take orders everyday" What've you guys heard. Seems like we're all being taken for a ride (literally) haha.. or maybe should consider the SE path as a career.

Niteblu Neutral Newbie January 30, 2008 Author Share January 30, 2008 That's true... I've heard other brands like S*baru pretty hard. Low/Zero base. Difficult comm structure. Not to mention the pre-existing brand hurdle in the minds of consumers. I like S*bies though :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niteblu Neutral Newbie January 30, 2008 Author Share January 30, 2008 How long ago did u talk to ur fren? About a year+ ago. Have things changed alot? Or was my fren painting too rosy a picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoonz 4th Gear January 30, 2008 Share January 30, 2008 Even in Booneeeeoh, not everyone earns as much... Some are the high sellers and there are also some who just gets by every month... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iziz Clutched January 30, 2008 Share January 30, 2008 (edited) Haha, explains alot. Yups, changed a LOT since den... Sorry guys, I dun think I can reveal how much per car, not convenient. But my basic pay is in the region of low hundreds in case u r interested to know Also, in all sales line, there r the high-flyers and those mediocre ones, those high-flyer ones who go all out to close sure make a lot compared to those ai lai mai sua kind, earnings also will vary accordingly. Car sales is a highly volatile industry, sure there r mths when sales r bad, just have to endure, just like this few mths is kinda slow.. How to hit 5 digits?? I'll be happy if I dun have to o-tang the bank $$. In short, I can paint wadever picture I wan u to see. Eg. Feb 07 (e $5k COE), Mar 07 Easily $10k due to high volume of sales but 0 sales in Mar, so avg out is abt 5-6k lor. So if i wan u to see me earning big bucks, i show u Feb payslip, if i wan to show u poor sales, i show u Mar payslip lor Other thing consumers dun see is tat we have a quota to achieve, fail to hit and its Edited January 30, 2008 by Iziz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafsimons Neutral Newbie January 30, 2008 Share January 30, 2008 That was the scenario a good 1 year plus ago. Look at now? only a couple of car agent SE is doing well.. BOR### & K#H M#### the rest either doing okay or surviving.. worst some are living off by their past earnings. If you @ Ta# Ch#n# i think u will beg to switch. no new models.. not appealing to consumers.. who will buy? How u sell ? SE aint bed of roses.. im a SE before too.

Rafsimons Neutral Newbie January 30, 2008 Share January 30, 2008 SE only earn comms. given by the company, car price are fix.. some times i just cant understand why consumer can asked for further discount after given them discount when it is make known to them that it was a special discount given by the management and yet can asked for further discount, or even threaten if no more discount no this or that they will not buy from you instead buy from other makes. sometime being an SE is like wrapping yourself with 2 pieces of "Guardinia" No sales or not enough sales will kena from management.. got sales also very stress.. kena squeeze jialat. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
