WTF does this @ shit mean ? I'm not on twatter....... You've never been positive..... If its not for you its not for you. BTW WTF does @ AD mean ? If you talking in twatter talk its not in my remit.

Nik, the point I was making was a compliment, with your talent you could enhance your business massively by selling yourself and your business on video. With your new stocking loan, you are now selling more expensive cars. You could use video to greatly enhance your sales pointing out how spotless and superior they are, not like me describing a few warts on older cars accurately

You all know for me video works, I think its great, it allows me to be completely transparent about the car and stop the pond life from wasting my time. Video forms part of my sales contract which I can refer back to when needed. I cannot praise video any higher as a medium for enhancing sales. I also agree with RH and others, bad videos are simply bad videos and very boring, with no comentary or daft "lift music" playing, it just makes you want to turn it off. I keep saying "people buy from people" use video to sell yourself and the car. Now, I get FB from my buyers constantly saying they felt they could & can trust me.....That is what is so important for me in my book. Trust it key. I truely believe video is a fantastic oportunity for you to sell yourself as a business an your product, whether that is "my way or hightway" like me of whatever suits you, I just think with the way everything is moving online as a business it should be embraced, it is the future. Pitches are different with walk-in business, but if you are a Sole Trader who needs the manage their time, its great. Nik, I know you have always been negative towards it, but I am sure with your talents you could really make it work for you..... You just need to believe in it and I am sure you would be bloody good at it aswell !! But hey ho, each to their own

Love it !!!!

I wish !!

Snooze and you loose.......

TV, retail it yourself, why trade flip it when there's a real profit in it.......

They are playing parts darts with your money, don't throw good money after bad..... ebay them "no reserve" to get rid, accept the losses and get the problems out of your life. You'll make up the loss in the next two deals, do it quickly and move on jmho

Love the picture, could you get some cows in the background..............

We all get bellends..... Mine usually say I've watched your video but I would never do business like that, can I come over one night this week to "av a look". When told no, I only appoint "Confirmed Buers" I normally get a load of abuse........

I No, I mean I’ve divided up the remaining space into three and will do each section in 2 coats,when one has dries I’ll do the next.. I can then rotate the cars without too much disruption

Thanks A51, I’m gonna do it myself in three separate applications, this’ll reduce disruption. It’s a cheap Aldi copy Btw, swarfega isnt my thing, it’s far too gritty and make your balls sore....

Well., I am so impressed with the way expoxy flooring enhances the pictures.... I have decided I am going to do the whole unit floor, I will then be able to do some kind of walk through the unit introduction and conclusion in my videos......it should be quite impressive for the billies (along with imperial leather soap) in the toilets

It's profit that counts Nik so well done ! Still only half way through the month

Very busy with 8 sold so far. I'm currently averaging 10 advertised so sales numbers are very good. Still playing catch up with 4 waiting to be advertised, 3 in prep and another 3 bought today...

Exactly

We all take hits, some very much bigger than others, what we have in common is we are all trying to be a success off our own back's. You are still fighting, you are still making your own money and you aint someone else's bitch. Well put.

Does being a patronising twat make you feel big ? Read his post, get your facts right.

Agreed. The public think we buy for 1k sell for 2k and it’s that’s easy...... the public have no understanding of what genuine good dealers do.

Well done Dan

Stocking loans are fine, as long as you accept you are their bitch, it isn't your stock, you are working to pay on their terms. They can end your business at anytime, you aren't in control of your own destiny.... It might be flattering but you are working for them. 2008 was only 10 years ago.....

Did they know. Yes.
