If we could ever get to a more of a one price system and get away from the commission structure we currently see in place in the majority of the dealerships around the country. I think we could get to a point that the salesman is paid more on what he knows and less on what he knows how to do. I would likely get back into it if it were more salary based and less larceny based so to speak. Old ways are hard to change so it will be up to the mfgs to force this type of change, but I think if knowledgeable sales people are ever going go be the norm rather than the exception, I think we will have to get away from doing business as usual.
