Yes, and If car sales paid 3-7% of $200,000 plus, like real estate I could get by selling 2 or 3 a month as well.. Unfortunately in car sales if you can average 500 on comissions you are doing pretty good...and most EVERY new GM car has less then $1500 markup. LOL last Bu I sold was $325 commission bucks sold at sticker...so 5-15% dont cut it in this business. you are getting by and thats it, unless you do homerun grosses on all you 4-7 deals a month. And even then.........the dealer prolly wont keep you.........
