DAC Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Judging from the title, this should be in the "DP" section of NWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndMoto Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I didn't see where we were asking anyone to quit their current job. Plenty of people go in and out of the industry. Having 5 years of experience doesn't imply they work for one now, but know their way around. That being said, while you may not know of anyone that is looking to leave, not many advertise the fact they want to leave their job before knowing their next step. Still looking people!!

dustinsn3485 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm not in the field anymore and living nowhere close. I got out because of the pay. I enjoyed wrenching, really I did. I saw that I was never gonna get rich working for somebody else as a service tech. It's a great opportunity I'm sure, I can only hope the pay scale has gone up though.

IndMoto Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 If you're into motorsports to get rich, you might want to re-evaluate the reality of your chosen profession. If you're good, there is plenty of money to be made. "Getting rich off of it" might be overshooting a little. Be beyond average and make beyond average money. Being around dealerships for 9 years, I've seen techs make great money and I've seen them make crap money. Same with sales people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 If I were closer I'd come be a tech and not hate my job as much as I currently do but that's too long of a commute for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think the extensive exp you spec'd is the issue.This. If I've been "in an industry" for 3-5 years, I sure better be out from behind the parts counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFlash Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 You speak absolutely nothing of what you have to offersuch a highly skilled and desirable candidate. Why shouldone even consider a position with you when it appears youwant much but offer little? This reeks of an attitude of onebeing lucky just to be employed by you when the reality isthat to employ a person meeting your desires makes youthe lucky one. A position of employment is a two way streetthe should be mutually beneficial to both and a call forassistance should express the degree to which a potentialemployee could find value in a position with you. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think that's a bit harsh, but that said, Jack does have a point, Justin. If you're still looking (since January 19), you may want to step up your recruiting game and figure out why you're not landing the right relationship(s). Jack's right in that 99% of your job posting outlines an extensive set of requirements with just 1% of what the candidate should get out of it. That might be sufficient in a buyer's market where you get 100 applications for every job, but if you're still looking or have such turnover where you're always actively looking for a replacement pipeline, then you might be doing something wrong. What are other dealerships offering in terms of pay, hours, benefits, growth opportunities, equity, bonuses, training, etc.? You don't have to answer that - I'm in finance and don't really care, but those are the kinds of things we have to continually adjust based on the market of any given job class.

Helmutt Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I think there's a bit too much being read into this. He's posted job openings listing the criteria that they're looking for, that's it. Is it vague on what they can offer back to an employee? Sure, but anything questioned by an eligible hire would/could be negotiated beforehand or during the interview process. A "qualified" someone looking for work in their area should already have a firm understanding of the position, and it's demands, all else can remain privy only to those pursuing it. I dont know why the positions have stayed available this long, or if they were temporarily filled and have opened up again...but it may not directly reflect how his outfit is ran. People move away, change positions within, grow tired of the industry, or couldn't handle the job and were released.The obvious is that this is simply an opportunity to achieve gainful employment in a market we all love around here.

3.504 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm in the industry, and the job posting listed here is pretty standard for the positions.It's easy to find mechanics and parts people, it's hard to find good ones. Just the way it goes. Good luck in the hunt for qualified applicants OP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndMoto Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 We are still looking for a Service and Parts counter position to be filled. Was filled previously, but one person was in a motorcycle wreck and could not return, the other ended up not working out. A more extensive review of the position's offerings is available to anyone interested enough to actually inquire about the position. Employment is always mutually beneficial and any perceived "attitude" is imaginary. Bring on the applicants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be curious to know what your average salesman makes. Do you lay them off in the down season? I'm not looking for specifics, just a low to high end.

And if commissions are part of the wage package, it would vary considerably with the employee's work ethic, marketability in that geographic, and the size of the company's showroom inventory. I've heard averages around $45k for motivated salesmen, but that was at superstore stock levels too.

35RFTW Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hellmutt said it best, but given a first year sales person, I'm going to guess around $30k. Work ethic and experience will have the greatest impact on that number. As for laying people off, we actually strive to make sure that doesn't happen. Again, up to the person in the position to make it happen. This is a not a sit and wait for people to walk through the door position.
