JimmyGlen 13 Posted July 3, 2019 Very positive so far. Finishing up on Friday for two weeks. We close for the fortnight, so a few before we close the doors is always nice. Had a thumper of a May and a great June, so have a bit of 'fat' on us if we don't manage to get a few on the board before/after holidays. We always managed though Stevie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be a salesman 98 406 OMG wasn't worth a grand when it was new . With 200,000 on clock I'd tell him it will cost him £50 to leave it here as scrap has gone down in value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant day out with great weather. I think i've been about 7 or 8 years running now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grantlfc81 88 Posted July 7, 2019 we have done 7 this month, but this weekend has been a shocker after so many appointments not showing. I literally just book them in now and that's it. I don't pay any more attention after that. my diary has become a waste of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't text them to confirm a day before? You don't text them to confirm on the morning of the appointment? You don't call them to ask about pre-approving them for finance so you can save (them) a lot of time on the day? You must at least be calling them to offer them to reserve the car because of the high level of enquiries on it? If you don't people won't get serious about your car, they will continue to online-window-shop until something or someone makes them serious. 3 sold this weekend, all 3 on finance, all 3 with a small deposit paid unseen. One is actually paid by the finance co but the customer has not even seen it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grantlfc81 88 Posted July 7, 2019 I pre qualify them on the phone. If they are coming in they are already pre approved on finance, that’s just school boy stuff if you’re not doing that. If they don’t turn up there’s naff all you can do about it. We are too busy to worry about the ones that don’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
