    Subject: More Questions
    Message:
    Hi! I have enjoyed reading this forum and I have really appreciated the responses that I've received. I have a few more questions about auto sales:
    1. The dress code - is it always a suit, are some dealers more casual? Is it okay to always wear a suit & tie?
    2. Probation period - is there a time that you make money for a few months before you go strictly to commission sales?
    3. Pay Plans - in earlier posts there were discussions about pay plans; the problem is that I don't really understand them. Would anyone care to explain their pay plan so that I can learn exactly how they work?
    4. Does an automotive sales consultant have his own office? What is the normal practice?
    5. On the subject of teamwork in a dealership or "store": do the sales consultants get along or is it too competitive? I am a firm believer in teamwork and making friends where you work, so honest answers will be appreciated very much.
    6. Personal emergency funds: The fall must be the best time of year to sell cars, what is the worst? How erratic can commission sales be? What would you reccommend a new sales recruit to have in savings all of the time?
    Thank you all very much. If you would like to ask me any questions or have any further advice, please do not hesitate to email me personally.
    Take care, Gordon Miller ( Ontario, Canada )
