  1. its the future and not a new thing all but the most basic will be having them have to find a way to be excited about them get your punters on board, i personally love them and easy to deal with, its the cross over punters that are the confused ones
  2. Accountant, VAT, notify inland revenue, Be legit
  3. wow someone is doing well, i take it business has improved a lot then since you were having no inquiries on them few first purchased cars
  4. for what it costs i use the lawgistics pads and PDI stationary, i like it because its triple copied and comes n handy for accountant and PX files, I think i can do something similar through my web site too invoicing directly from there
  5. yes this is what i mean, How are you doing things to control the right demographics to be looking at your cars and selling them rather than just random facebook people, Thats where i am failing then
  6. i take it you are not doing 15-20k cars then....................what are you doing to make this platform your most successful means of selling cars, i mean this in a positive way i really am interested because up to now i have not seen a benefit i am doing something different to you and it is not working for me I have tried "boosting" specific cars and had no interest in that either, I mean i see the numbers and see the traffic on my boosted car but not had anything meaning full happen from it
  7. for the record ......................... i am a dinosaur i am on Facebook marketplace but its just a load of 3am brigade one message wonders
  8. 30 days ................................ wtf !!!!!! 1st day at shark school and cant remember it being 30 days to make a sale
  9. Yes i have done it i had also to give 30 days notice and all my reviews and account status was fully re established once i was back up and running
  10. isnt this now a tale of woe with more like 2.5k in it then now, he he
  11. i am loving your work Sir ......................how it should be done !!!!
  12. Busy fool syndrome ................................ a newbie i see I think if you ask established traders and newbies what consitutes a decent PPU you will get a fairly large difference,
  13. I agree with you, It feels a total waste of time...................... i mean serious people would call right why wound`nt a serious person call you ????. It is however now a recognised way of comunicating its what people do its not what you want to hear but these mails need to be nurtured and developed into something, I have this also on the "contact at once" messenger and text service as well as car Guru, 90% of the time it is just a single one time message other 10% it becomes something for real
  14. key word there is "IF" you can make it work its a brillianr business to be in many have tried and many have failed................good luck
  15. agree with all the above...................... it is hard graft 15 hour days to start being on standby for the one call and one chance that day to make some money, It does sound easy and it does give the impression £1000 per car is easy but reality is seldom as easy as it looks, You are on your own self employment is a lonely place you have no one ( given your minimal experience) to ask advice from to seek guiadance from or to really know if what your doing is path to sucsess or failure, I had the benefite of over 20 years in PLC dealership world and like most on hrere i lived and breathed the business at someone elses risk and had a sallary from them, So when i started out you could say i had been through 20 plus years of training leading to that moment. Get it right its still tough but can be rewarding, Get it wrong and all the hours and stress are still there but its litterally costing you money then to be self employed and i guess thats no fun at all, we on this forum can give you guidance and advice but we wont be there selling your cars, Talking to your customers and giving you money for your bills all that is down to you, Having worked with a load of newbies with no experience it honestly does take a minimum of 2 years for you to even start be able to call your self a sales person, The amount of buyers that a new sales person burns is shocking as a sales manager in dealership and you will not even know what you are doing wrong will you, In dealership you will be mentored and have chances to see he others in action to pick up the tools of the trade to equip you will all the "one liners" I dont think i could recomend this job to anyone who has a family and a mortgage, Starting out with Nil experience in this cut throat business is a huge risk, You need to be a Great White to survive in this world, Survive the first 2 years and i do mean "survive" and you may just go on to bigger and better things, But if all you are thinking is its easy money will my friend this in reallity is not the case at all
  16. 5 beers latter ........................ yes of course you can come and see it ...................you can see it i may not be able to ...........................
  17. Always have to do a month end with all the checks you have mentiond its Insanity not to do it......................... you have to know where you are or else how do you know if your going forward
  18. Please people DO NOT PANIC there will be plenty of car sales done today as there was last week when it was raining, If you have the right cars well prepared and presented well there will be sales made, Do not let the people of doom affect you, Rise above it and soar like an eagle, Have a great weekend all, I am off to make sure i got enough order pads and pens with ink
  19. Half way throught the year boys and girls, We have good weeks bad weeks but over a 6m period it should all even it self out and be an ideal time to reflect on how the year is going I am a few units down but my PPU is up by a very good margin so overall profit is around 5% up this year on last, I am carrying same number of units so its a fair comparison like for like Even saying that though i still dont "feel" busy and it feels a real strugle to make this all happen
  20. I have an option on a 3000 sq ft unit can you disclose or message me the price you are being quoted, Different area but its a benchmark for that sort of size
  21. i had someone who used the Auto trader PX tool on my fully prepped retail car and was arguing that i am far to expensive and after questioning his reasoning behind that statement he told me about the Auto trader PX figures........................... no amount of reasoning about our level of prep and costs for us to get it from trade to full on retail would convince him that he was wrong and his argument was fundamintally flawed................................. some people
  22. One post wonder ................... i guarantee it, Not even a thank you
  23. for the less well informed ???? what is IMDA
