Subject: Underpaid?
Message:
I am sorry for the "Anonymous," but as you all know, what we say here could get back to my GM and cause me trouble. I hope you don't mind. Anyway, I need advice! I do Internet Sales and think I am extremely underpaid. I am relatively new to the car biz and really could use some "veterans'" advice.
I get a flat 25% commission, $300 pack on both new and used, don't get paid on any holdback or dealer incentive cash and have a pititful little base salary of $500. I am the only internet person. I work a lot of hours and I work hard. I maintain the website, create e-advertisements, handle all internet sales, all lease returns and lease retention. I sell between 10-20 cars per month (my average monthly sales are about 12). I get good gross on used, but I sell a product that we must give away on the new side. The market just won't bear more than about $500 a copy on new in my market...oh well...back to my subject.
I work hard and make harldly any money...average monthly income is about $2,200 over the last year. I have been at the same dealership for 3 years and am loyal. I have asked for more money, but I can't get anywhere with my owner. What should I do?
