I was just talking to my wife about the same thing. We went to the Tampa show and you could see the difference immediately between the sales people and the manufacturers reps.
The difference is easy. The Reps only have to know THEIR product. The RV dealer Sales people have to know ALL of there products. Yes, there are newbie salesman that don't take the time to research their product offerings. There are also Dealerships that do not spend the money to educate their sales people. BUT, if you want to sell, IMO, you as a sales person need to educate yourself. As a Dealer Service Tech, it also makes me mad about how sales people get away with BS and stating things that are not true or correct because they are to lazy to go get the correct answer. But. thankfully, those types rarely stay on the job very long. The ONLY way a RV sales person can make real money is in long term relationships with his customers. REPEAT business is the only way to continue selling RV's (motorhomes) and make a good living at it. Doug
