L-P 15 Posted April 9, 2018 Good Evening Just a quick message to introduce myself to the fantastic community here. I have followed the forum for a while but thought it was about time I got involved :-) I have just setup this month but have spent the last 8 years as a Sales Manager in the franchised dealer arena. Have taken a lot from the many posts on here over the last few months so hopefully I can contribute a little going forward. Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trade vet 702 Posted April 10, 2018 Hi Simon Welcome to the Jungle.....I have looked at your website......I like it....However,it may be a good idea to mention and embellish your franchised dealer sales manager CV,punters will identify with that,it will increase your credibility. ...I bet you have some good contacts for buying stock direct......Good Luck in your new venture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark101 536 Posted April 10, 2018 Great website, nice stock - I would publish a landline number instead of or as well as your mobile, that's my only critique 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purely in an attaempt to add credibility (as far as a home trader can), I bought a phone and plugged it in, now I can answer the phone with the company name as no one I know on a social level has my "home" number. I thought in this day and age, everyone would simply call my mobile, displayed beneath my landline but actually I couldn't have been more wrong, with atleast 80% of calls coming via the landline.
