Subject: Hiring Costs & Turnover
Message:
Hello,
I have worked-out a plan to sell myself to a dealership! There are a few things, however, that I need to know first.
How much does it cost a dealership to hire and train a salesman? Now, if that employee is not there for the long-term, he will be a "turnover" and cost that dealership money, wouldn't you agree? How much would it cost a dealership each time they lost a newer salesman?
My idea is to sell myself to the dealership by showing that it will be more cost effective to hire me, (a man with a strong desire to be a top performer; who remains at one dealership to build a solid referral business and career) than to hire about 5 people who move on at the first sign of hard work or lower income.
I know what it is like to earn $64,000.00 a year! I do right now! So, my intention is to do what it takes to reach that goal, then keep learning more and more to do better and better!
My plan is designed to ask only the questions in the interview that I know the answer to. Then, close the sales manager who interviews me!
Any thoughts or comments?
I really appreciate this forum. Thank-you to all that have replied with helpful words of encouragement!
Gordon Miller

Thank you very much for the encouraging words Mr. Hargrove! The figures that you suggested are exactly what I was looking for. I intend to work them into my presentation/interview!
Do you or anyone else for that matter, have any suggestions on how I might "sell" an interview appointment? I mean, I really want to make a good first impression, because it is so important. The Automotive Training Centre school in Richmond, BC will help with job placement but, I still believe the work is up to me.
Thank you again for all of your assistance.
Sincerely,
Gordon W. Miller
