April Sales Report

So Far I have One and a half out

An LS Cobalt Non GMS and a Silverado sold Non GMS but we gave it away!!

I split on the Silverado because they wanted to take the trade out from under the customer and I stumbled.

Hopefully with this overlap of Loyalty and PA autoshow money I can pick up a few more.

Lord

Re: April Sales Report

2 good ups yesterday, just no confirmation from them. Also had a roach and someone demand I give them a free sunroof with a Vue or they were not going to buy. Guess they didn't want the Vue that bad.

Re: April Sales Report

as of today, 4/12/09, our store has a total of 9 delivered and 2 pending. Our goal for our store is 50 per month, we haven't even hit it at all this year. Even the GSM was saying he'd rather be selling now than managing because of how he gets paid. i wonder if the import lots are just as slow.

Re: April Sales Report

Consider that April is historically slow before the 15th. I've sold one and the store's only got a few out this month, so at least I'm pacing average. This Chevrolet store has just had it's second walk-in and the other brands, I believe, are comparable in ups.

Edit: This is the first Saturday I've worked, well, "worked", in months. I came in today to deliver a unit but I noticed that there's only a fraction of employee vehicles parked outside from a year ago. Seems that the downturn is primarily affecting green peas, those who can't or won't work through difficult periods, and the management. It's my opinion that salesmen who stay through slow sales should remain unaffected. My business is still growing.

Welcome welcome... Good to have another fellow Saturn sales consultant here.

Hows that GM card working for you? I can't gauge how well it will work as 90% of my market is GMS/GSU.

3 sold 2 out. 1 new 1 used... things are sloooooow.

Truck sales are real slow here in GR, MI. Just had a customer back out of a Dually deal. Ouch that hurts.

Re: April Sales Report

Month ended up real bad. We only sell GMC, the complete line from Canyon to TopKick C8500. But it is slow!

Re: April Sales Report

Well my final count out was 2 Cobalts one Silverado and a split Silverado.

I had two locates slip through my fingers and tons of fin deals go south. Now that the rear axle plant is stopped some of our money makers are out of stock.

I can't move our pre-owned stuff either and now my 90 days are almost up.
So I may be taking the walk of shame folks!!
