HA! I really enjoy all those answers. Selling 30 cars a month is not even slightly impossible! Ask yourself this: What sells cars? Color? Payment? Performance? Why do you (or your favorite family and friends) buy a car or truck? Second: Do you like vehicles or are you “just” a sales person? Do you like to have fun? Unless you can answer these questions, you are going to have a difficult time of selling any number of vehicles.I started selling at 12. I have loved, loved, loved all things wheeled, winged or on a rail (not big on boats, sorry) since I was a kid…that was a long time ago.If you plan to sit in the showroom, and sell you might as well retire now. I do not care if your store (dealership) has a “New Car Manager”, “Used car Manager” or Internet, Fleet, Lease or kiss my back side manager. Consider it an open territory.I was formerly the top car sales person for months on end in several dealerships I worked at over many years, including a so called mega store with more than 17 brands. I lived at the time in one of the most difficult to sell states in the nation. Comparatively speaking, we had little inventory, lots of brands and models, but little inventory. Our PACK was one of the highest in the area, and we had to maintain a sizable commission or else!!!!I’ve been the parts runner, parts sales, service writer, sales person, sales manager, general manager, lease manager, rental manager, and a host of other useless titles. I was also often whatever I needed to be in that moment to give the buyer http://confidence….no I did not lie. But if selling a 40K van conversion was helped by my saying I was the van manager…well hey, I was the van manager. Did I leave that out: Yup I was truly the van manager, truck manager, commercial vehicle sales manager…genuinely I was!!!I was among the youngest on the staff (back in the day). I learned, and learned fast to color outside the lines sort of speak!In my leisure time I was a gear head anyway like I wrote. I made sure I visited speed shops, car shows, “cruise nights”, I learned about truck rodeo’s, I revisited friends from High School…..and so on.A friends father who owned a funeral home would buy a 3/4 ton truck every other year from me to plow the parking lot, and eventually, I started selling him three or four cars….a year without ever even seeing him. He’s call, I’d listen, I learned to spec cars….I’d order them and deliver them to him. Yup, the first time nearly got me fired…taking a brand new truck in July, putting a plow on it, and delivering it without any prior paperwork until I brought back the entire amount in cash…..yea, that could have gone south fast.I visited every small rental firm in the then yellow pages! Waste of time…never sold them a damn thing!!!I formed a 4x4 association. Ownership wasn’t happy! Asked to use one of the meeting rooms or a bay in the service department on weekends for a meeting. I was told, “Okay, you can do it once….but find someplace else next time”. Boss had a change of heart when several members came in for maintenance, and in less than a month, I started selling members of the newly formed group 4x4 trucks.One of the guys in the 4x4 group, his brother owned a landscape company…two trucks, turned into six within a year. Repeat business is a beautiful thing! It reached a point where I had between six and eight trucks between 1/2 ton and 1 ton going out to him every other year, plus a car or two as well for personal use and family members.I was/am outspoken. I was attending a town meeting about removing residential fuel tanks from the ground. I was an outspoken critic of the plan and regulation. A mother daughter team were forming a company that was doing the removal….sold them their first truck, and later, started selling them a truck or three a year, and a car or two along the way. Got invited to some awesome dinners too! Great and successful ladies.I’ve always been an avid bicyclist. I rode with groups frequently and always was happy to provide a ride to a cyclist who couldn’t get their bike in their car….not often, but from time to time it turned into a sale. Not always, but they’d move up to a car that could carry their bike.Know the products you sell, not just the brochure that the dealership puts out…read the magazine reviews. Really know the car or truck, and know how to show people that their car is more than transportation or status. Show them its a solution to their needs.Don’t leave it to the finance manager to close your sale….learn and understand what sort of payment programs exist, including lease finance. The more you know, the more issues and objections you can overcome to help people understand the benefit to buying their desired vehicle. Plus it gives you the opportunity to build a relationship with them. Don’t sell, counsel. Don’t know, show.Most people entering a show room are predisposed to a defensive position. Today’s buyer might come prepared with all sorts of internet knowledge, but they still are in defense mode. The only way to overcome it, is to show them they don’t need to be defensive….listen to what they are saying, and do not take the buyers are liars attitude, take the this is their perspective, I can work with it attitude and help them make an informed, intelligent decision.Even at VW there is enough product to meet many needs. But if its not enough, help them buy the vehicle they want, and desire by picking up the phone and calling another store to find out what might work for them. Yea, management might blow a gasket, but you’ll be surprised how it DOES work out for you, when that persons friend calls you a month or three later.Don’t count on show room traffic to be your sales base. If you’ve been selling for a while, you already know better. Get yourself out into the community, talk to landscapers, doctors and dentists…everyone drives, so everyone is a prospect! You might not have a truck for the local plumber, but you might have a used car for his graduating daughter.Keep a check on the town or city where you live, yes, I know the store has a manager for that. Its funny how that works, your store might not have a truck that fits the spec, so the manager passes over it. But you might have a used truck that will meet the spec, and save them a ton of http://cash….in this day and age, a phone call, and discussion might just win you that bid.There is a rather well known international business based near one of the dealerships I was working at. One day at lunch three guys speaking broken English came in. They were looking for the absolute cheapest pick up basically to get this one guy to and from work, and go fishing on his day off. He had a figure in his head….and that was that. That figure was so out of keeping with the pricing at the time, there was just no way we could offer him anything. Nonetheless I promised him I’d do a search and I did. The closest I could come was like $4K more than his figure. It was a three on the tree pickup when no one was buying three on the tree pickups any more. Anyway, he came in with his buddies, and gave me a lunch bag with cash in it, the deposit. Two days later I delivered the truck to him. About a week later, he came in for follow up service, and brought with him his well educated friend, who worked in purchasing. It took about six months, but through the two of them, I gained a meeting with the head of purchasing, and soon their after we delivered the first of sixteen vans to the company. In the following years I sold them literally dozens of vehicles from economy cars they used to run errands between their local locations to trucks used by their reps all over the country. And, when I moved to another dealership, so did they.Enough of my babble. I’m not selling for a dealership any longer, now I sell for myself. Its never been easy, but its always fun. Learn to listen, understand the need, and find them the solution.My first month in car sales I sold like two cars, but by my third month, I was selling upwards of 20 a month and never looked back. Selling thirty cars a month, be it exotics or junks or anything along the way, its not the way to think of it. Let the store and managers think of it that way.Wrap your head around how many people can you find that have a transportation related issue to resolve each month, and how many of them can you help resolve it.Best of luck! Enjoy the chase or give it up! Comments/Questions and thoughts welcomed. Negative thoughts not.

Whatever happened to England?There seems now “nothing” to return or go back in England to.Naturalization is probably the “best” choice. Why do I say this? Well, it’s some of my own life story, but it give some reasons….Why is England in such a mess today ?The writer was born in England and lived and worked there for many years of his life, until finally quitting the country in 2010.Born into a rich “Middle Class” family, hopes for “something pleasant and fine” in life were my reasonable “expectations” for all my hard work.Not “work shy” I held down TWO jobs at age 16 to fund the purchase of my first car, to advance me forward into my “world of work career”. Not afraid of exercise either, for all the years of my youth, I did not “look to others” to do things for me, rather, I had bicycle and cycled a great many long English country Miles (the extra long English Miles which are not the “easy” city Miles).Being keen on Art and Design, and a lover of History, my bicycle took me too the interesting (and still in those days pleasant!!) places of interest, taking my little camera along with me, and often a Drawing or Sketch” pad. It was at this time I first developed my love of Souvnire Postcards and, like my mother before me, a love and interest in ”The National Trust” Parks and preserved Historical Monuments or Houses.I collected a great many colour Brochures and Guide books to many of these interesting places, and was fascinated by the Art collections, book collections and beautiful places from History.In my youth I took an interest in Cross Country running, and joined a shooting Club Rifle range. I also excelled in my (always annoyingly expensive!!) hobby of Model making and Toy Soldier Collecting.When 12 years old, my first (and proudly painted) Exhibit of Figures got sent to “Doddington” near Bath, where at that time, was the Exhibition of the BMSS (that’s the British Model Soldier Society to the un initiated in the hobby .)Also at the same time became a rather “god shot” with a Rifle, proficient with a camera, and trained my enquiring “eye” in affairs of “detail”, which was to serve me well later in life.I have never been known as one who “ran or went around with the crowd”, or went around in groups. I have also, while when younger, respecting “Authority” (even if I knew it to be wrong and did not necessarily agree with it), and , like the “Artist” in me, developed my own unique “style” of living and in the way I related to the other people and world around me.I always felt I could earn the “most” in life, by asking questions and by reading, looking up what others could not (or occasionally would not!) tell me, and by using my Artists powers of Observation and eye for detail.I had NO interest whatsoever in the world of “Politics”, or issues around “Race” (I had heard plenty of War time experiences and stories from people who were REALLY “there” in 39 to 45 all about the dangers of Racism and Fascism) it always was a cynical, Murky affair in my view, filled with greedy and criminal types, who only wished to line their own pockets with everyone else’s money. That being said, there were several more human, more reasonable Political examples in my life, when young, which had some influence over me during this formative time of my life. Well, its “not everyone is it” we used to say back then. SOME of them are alright.One of these Political “figures” was a local member of the Elected District Council of my area, who was also a Descendant f a French family. His Sur name was “Guillaume”. The other one, was the local Euro MP (Member of Parliament for Europe) who lived in a village near to my Grandmother and her family. Leonard Cotterrel.In those days, I was too busy working hard to pay my rent and get some savings together, to have much time for reading about the EU or “Common market as it used to be called in England in those days.But I did , quite how or why, I still don’t really know, get to meet a very large number of overseas persons during my youth, some were school visit students, on exchange trips, but most were people I “bumped into” socially or quite seemingly by accident of chance or sheer luck. At least, I “think” it was…Now I am not so “sure”….As one gets older, and “wiser” to the world, and the “games” that go on around all of us each and every day, on the TV, the Newspaper stories, the Political “scandals” and the way Reporters and Editorial “teams” can manipulate the news”, I developed the art of “reading between the lines” somewhat, in order to try to find the truth.When you are younger, generally, you do not look to far behind the “scenes” in life, but you live it with your youthful energy and vigour, and pursue what pleases you best. Until you grow up and change of course. I mean when you are young, you do not “plan” more than perhaps six months into your future because things “shift” and are in some “flux” and this natural part of maturing, takes some time, and requires you try new work and social experiences and travel around and do different things to acquire skills and experience.Loyalty and honesty got “hammered into me “ from a young age, (anyone who knows my entire story will now what I am referring to here), and I was always the one with the “clean shiny shoes” at school, and who wore the proper “regulation Uniform”. I used to believe rules were for “following” and not existing only to be “broken”, as is the “speak” among people these days.I used to pay my rent “in advance” by one or two months (in case I changed jobs or needed to “fork out” on the car or something. But I soon noticed how the relationship between who you are and what you believe, and the way personal integrity and conscience, can be taken and interpreted by others with “less scruples” for weakness or for somebody who can be taken sadly for a “mug”, and increasingly was becoming of “no use” or relevance in English society.When I was younger, the “yardstick” for personal success lay in other things, not merely “how much cash” you had or how much your car cost you. Remembering the stories of hardship from the past in my families life during the war, the fifty’s and the un -restful politics of the sixties, ( I read a lot in my school library about the unrest in France and the riots of 68), the perceived in-justice and in-equality by the students back then, I vowed to achieve “something” better in my life, to rise up through and rise above the “glass ceilings and glass walls in society.I think actually, as I am writing this today, this explains my involvement in several charity projects to help dis advantaged people later in my life during the middle to late 1990’s, at the height of the Tory “Thatcher” and major Governments. And m concern over affordable and decent housing for people in society.My grandmother was a landlady, an owner of good property’s in a Wes Country Village, and I have many fond and happy memories of family visits and Christmas ties spent with them during my childhood days. Life then, and in general in Britain, was very different than how it is today. Values and attitudes were different, people were better in general, and the way people behaved still followed certain social “rules” or conducts. The way people used to dress and behave was also rather better and different too. I think perhaps it should be so again!!!After I left home, married and began to have a family, my perception of the way and how things “are” in England took a shocking “turn”, and during the “Tory” years in the 1990’s, the country became less and less the “England” I had known. A great deal of apathy and stupid behaviour now exists as a “normal” among the young, violent crime and Race hate crime is now on the sharp increase, and public service, town halls and local Councils “are simply no longer what they once were”.Also, I will say it, a large number of so called leaders and Politicians have taken wrong turns on the road, and have led England down a dark isolated and increasingly empty road to business and employment and “social Responsibility” failure. Society no longer knows “who it is, what it is, or where it is supposed to be going or when it is supposed to be doing it”!!!Slip shod and “low standards” of social behaviour, alcohol abuse, drug taking and sub standard housing with greedy “rip off” landlords have become the normal now for too many people. Non Committal and lax moral fibre have led to a sharp rise in single un married mothers and also fathers too. I can remember a time when this kind of thing was a “scandal” and NOT the “normal” in UK Society. Now it is not, now it is everywhere.Small and interesting little shops, which provided a personal family run locally known service have almost entirely vanished from England’s high streets. Now, if you do your “homework” you will discover, that only the “same few” big companies” own and control all of the “major player” UK high street shops. There has also been a “raft” of charity shops opening everywhere” due to “new laws” that give landlords a percentage” of the sale. I actually learned this story, about, for just ONE example, of the “British Heart Foundation” charity shops, when I was in Dover for a “Toy Soldier Show” a few years ago. It applies apparently equally to all the similar type shops everywhere in UK. Short sighted and “jam today” but “bread tomorrow” Political thinking has led directly to these social “ills”.Also, the granting to Pubs and Bars and clubs in UK of 24 hour opening, and the irresponsible selling of Alcohol and Liquor by cheap supermarkets to the young people, has led to public disorder, a alarming rocketing rise in street violence and property damage, as well as many accident and emergency admissions to the local Hospital. Worse still, attacks on Hospital emergency staff , Fire men, and (predictably) the Police, have began in every large town in England.Once clean, tidy and well kept neighbourhoods have become “sink areas” when drug pushers and “fly by night” type tenants have been moved in to them. In the “rush” for vast and cheap and quick financial profits, greedy “Rackmann” and “Hoogstraten” type landlords have converted (with cheap paper thin floors and walls and painted over dampness) converted once charming nice houses, into sub standard “student lets” and poor quality, over priced and insecure “contract” housing.Parking has now become impossible outside where you do live, and rip off wheel “cowboy” clampers, and aggressive traffic wardens now hunt the public motorist as a “cash cow” demanding massive on the spot money fines for even very “minor” infractions of white lines, it used to be for just the “double yellow lines”.“WASPS” my Auntie used to call them, because they used to wear a black hat with a Yellow band”. Now they just look like street” paramilitary’s”. Its no longer “the sting”, of the wasp, it is” we will take your car and crush it unless you pay us our commission”!!!In England, the traditional values and conduct, that once made “Great Britain” have been replaced with apathy, greed, in-difference, and sharp practice. Employers no longer have ANY “social Responsibility’s” to their employees, and Housing and Tenancy and landlord Laws have become a rip off solicitors “Paradise”. No one has any security any longer in England. Even the “rich” and the successful University “Alumni” who go into UK companies to work, find the UK Governments short sighted economic policies cause “Recession” after “Recession” and “Boom and Bust” and the associated Mortgage non payment housing repossessions to be the “normal” even for them.In modern England, “no one can win” except the rip of landlords and Politicians who make a ”killing” on our backs.A once pretty, once “green and pleasant land”, “England’s Jerusalem” has been replaced with tarmac, shoe box over priced housing developments with “parking for each family for 1.5 Cars per household”.What office based 47k a year fool thought that little “trick” up??Say? Did you EVER SEE any one driving “Point five” of a car?!!!The English of this “modern” era (I would call it a new dark age!) do not act, think, dress, behave or make families or do work, as it was once done. I am going to say as it should still be done.Young people today in England have no moral, intellectual or physical standards to look to for examples of how to live their lives. Outrageous “football” stars, and drug taking and often Dis credited rock and pop stars and film stars are followed. With predictable bad results in most cases I do have to say.Men such as the UK’s Government “Minister” Mr “Boris Johnson” with their untidy, un combed roughly cut “dragged through a hedge backwards” hair styles, and Nigel Farrage, who had a tantrum and threw fish into the River Thames in the Middle of London, are not examples for anybody seriously to follow into leadership or Politics, (and I don’t even have any real interest even today, in my 50’s, in politics) but I can see this!In England, running and conducting a family business has become virtually “impossible”. Margins have got squeezed again and again, and expensive new “laws” have crippled commerce, and I do NOT refer to European Laws, I refer to the MANY extra taxes, red tape and suspect “charges” introduced by the succession of “boom and bus” Recessional Tory party UK Governments over the past thirty years.There is no “Great Britain” any longer, except in coffee table conversation books in over priced offices and the fancy houses owned by the Directors of over priced utility’s privatised under the Tory’s.Under BREXIT Britain now has turned into a “third country”, with ever widening, ever deepening social ills and dangerous rich poor foreigner and white divisions. Violent Nazi style party’s and interests now are seeping out of the “woodwork” in many areas, and this is also one cause of the UK football violence of recent years.There is a worrying rise in “hate Crimes” and Racist materials, and Ante Semitisme, and the market in UK for Nazi Memorabilia has reached such a height, that criminals in Ukraine regularly dig open the German war dead graves to plunder the badges and Decorations to sell to English Nazi followers. One recent Nazi “tomb”, a huge book, of “colour photographs” of Nazi items, was published by HEIMDAL, in Europe, it’s author? “ULRICH OF ENGLAND”!!!!!!!!Rather like the many persons now “suddenly finding” they are “not British” after all, despite living and working and owning property there, and paying taxes and having passport and Legal UK Government papers), in 2010, I found myself “marginalised” and persecuted out of the country. Taking what I could afford with me, I quit the country in utter and complete “disgust” at what was now all around me, and the inner “rotten core” of the English way of life.Corruption in Local Councils, Noble “Lord” paying the local Police bribes to not report crimes, dis honest “family solicitors” who steal your money and tell lies…Worthless Political Squabbling “children’s game leaders” in one Government after another one, wrecking the country. They have so many noses in the Trough, even the PIGS ARE COMPLAINING!!!!!Worship of the God Football and cheap Beer and Alcopops now has replaced worship in most churches, and there is no “moral physical or Social or Spiritual decency” left in English society. Only large stolen televisions….and poor health.Gambling, Fruit Machines, Bingo and Get rich quick LOTTO’S have become the “hope” of far too many poor people.Saving your money, for the future, has gone, it has been replaced, by “the new thinking” , and has become” Money for Jam today” and then nothing except stale hard Bread for tomorrow, BE WARNED!!!!!FARENHEIT 451My love of books acquired in my young days when I spent many lunch breaks sat inside the School Library reading and studying, was turned into a passion for collecting books many years ago, and I have amassed quite a collection.Disturbingly, however, and worryingly, I have to say, in England, second hand book shops, and dealers, are being hunted to near extinction by the Government, who, it seems, prefer to give the “official version of History on their Internet” rather than from the factual erudite writings of experienced people who know their material well.Books more than ten years old are bing systematically removed from book lists and dealers shops, and internet web sites, and private collections, especially ones that contain Military or perceived “Political history” are being taken away by the Government and destroy’d. I have personal experience of the UK Government and “people from UK” falsifying the history online on the Internet, but, when upon reading books of my own, I discovered the ”official” internet site not to be remotely telling any truth. Because of my interest in writing, (which has never touched politics!!!), and my interest in Military history and Uniforms etc for Model soldier dealing and figure making (still an ever expensive hobby of mine) It appears I have attracted the attention of some obnoxious pimping Whitehall boffin, who seems to think, (absurdly, wrongly, and following Hype!) that because I own a large collection of REAL History books, this somehow makes me a “subversive”.In England, “reading and writing” and “thinking and asking questions” has become “criminalised”. But I was taught in your UK Schools to do this!The first casualty of any war is the truth.Politicians LIED and soldiers died,….They LIED about Yulia and Sergei Skripal the same way. England is to blame for the attempted murders, not others…They “trusted Englands words” too, look where their mis placed trust got them both!!!!Since when has England exchanged “wisdom for Madness”?????!!Now, like “MONTAG” in the film “Farenheit 451, (where the Government Firemen arrive to destroy all books and imprison those who own them),I see knowledge and wisdom in danger from the “get rich” “Jupiters” in Whitehall who want to control your lives and personal information, (which by the way the recent scandal at “FACEBOOK” and its data collector, Cambridge ANALYTICA” should warn you all!!!).What happened to England???? …………Welcome to the new third country, and to the New Dark Age………Montag.

Mostly because a lot of people don't have any money and earn a basic, subsistence living at best.However, there is also the fact that our society has decided that there are certain fees, taxes, zoning and minimum construction standards that must be met, all of which add to the cost of building a house. In my community the basic building permit costs are a big part of the issue.Also, for example, the state of California has decided that you have to meet certain standards such as Title 24 lighting which now requires you to install expensive high-efficacy lighting fixtures that 95% of the populace have never seen or heard of before last year. It would be possible to build basic housing for the poor that would fully meet their usually limited requirements, without a lot of the extras that today's codes require, but some will say that would be discriminatory, and others would complain about downgrading the neighborhood, etc.Fees Associated with Your Residential PermitHOW BUILDING PERMIT FEES ARE USEDWhen you obtain a building permit, certain fees will be charged to cover the cost of:Plan checking in the office;Field inspections before and during construction; andService and capital improvements in your neighborhood and the surrounding area.THE APPLICATION FEEWhen your building plans are accepted at the counter, you must pay application fees as follows:Zoning Plan-Check:A graduated fee is charged for each project, according to size.
