I have been with the company I work for currently for a little over 2 years now. I started off with very little knowledge but still pulled off 50k in gross sales in 2 weeks which blew any other salesman in my position out of the water. I shortly got a raise from $600 to $740 a week and my monthly commission was unchanged. Commission varies from 0.75% to 2%(see attached) based on gross sales volume. I have no benefits, no 401k, nothing, except for 7 days of paid vacation (I cap at 14 days and I get one day per year I’m with the company). I personally feel that my weekly pay isn’t sufficient and I don’t know if I can justify that feeling. I have collected over THREE million dollars for this company in two years, putting me on track to be their best sales man to date. I also currently outsell the company’s General Manager who is also 1/4 owner of the company. The previous Sales Manager (whom royally screwed over the company and a lot of customers) was making $1000 per week plus the same commission as myself and he started making that pay during his second year. He was handling the website sales, his emails, and phones while I handled in store customers, the phones, my emails, and social media. Currently I handle purchasing, in stores, phones, emails, social media, and training our newest employee. On top of all of this, another company in the industry that seems to have a LOT deeper financial reach as they have a ONE-Million dollar system, benefits, paid lunches, double employees, and higher tier clientele, has reached out to me offering a position for either a Performance Consultant position that would pay $85k starting (granted you hit target goals) with $100k a year being very very achievable OR an Assistant General Manager position (pay unknown). They don’t know me from a hole in the wall and have offered me this solely based on my social media posts and recommendations from my customers.
I don't think you're going to get any reasonable advice about automotive sales on blind.
It can’t hurt to try.
If you have an offer for the same work that is far above what you're currently being paid you're being underpaid.
^ Agreed
Way underpaid. Try Seattle
