Employee Keepers

So, I am reading this report that has Service Advisors/Consultants making $54,000 per year (NADA average). A U.S. government site says $35,000 to /$53,000 and another site says $39,000 to $58,000. Today’s question for you is this: Are these agencies in the ball park as far as income range?
One thing I know for sure, it is a growing industry segment. Crazy, eh? All we hear is gloom and doom in the automotive industry, yet some areas are growing. That same report said that by 2013 we will be short about 5,000 people to do the job.
If we do the math, cars are lasting longer and there are fewer dealers to repair them than ever. There is no question that this job description has a solid looking future. And, just like any growing industry…the cream will raise to the top. Keep trained in all phases of your job and watch your income grow.
Let us know what you think and have a great weekend.

Tell them… they will forget
Show them….the will remember
Let them….they will understand

Think about how this applies in Sales, demo drive. Service, walking the vehicle at write up. Leadership, everything you do with your team.
Are we “letting” often enough. Are we on the look out for new opportunitiew to “let”.
All three have to do with leadership if you think about it.
What do you think.
Let us hear from you.

Until next time

It’s unwise to pay too much. But it is worse to pay too little.
When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can’t be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.
There is hardly anything in the world that someone can’t make a little worse and sell a little cheaper … and people who consider price alone are this man’s lawful prey.
