Confessions of an RV Salesman

These articles are just "click bait" to promote the people/businesses running ads on their site. I know many RV salespeople, many are my friends and I would trust them more than someone who publishes an anonymously written slam piece. You can replace RV Salesperson with anything, Car Salesperson, Pharmacist, Doctor, roofer, mechanic, anything. You make up your own mind who you want to deal with and if you feel good about it you win. Nice try Mac or whatever your name really is.

You should have stated, "You can replace an RV salesperson with anyone" - period!

Example: Pomona (CA) RV show - it's a biggie!
Walking past a display of RVs, I asked a salesman if I could have a brochure. He stated he didn't know where to find one.

Having seen the stcak of them in a compt of the RV we were standing next to, I pointed that out. (He thanked me for the help).
Nice guy, so foolishly, I asked a question about the RV. No clue. He said it was his first day on the job!!

Same show. A friend was in the market for a high-end MH. He made an *appointment* for a test drive. The RV business *owner* (had his card) asked him to wait a few minutes. While killing time he was in the back of one of the MoHos and overheard two salesmen up front.

One asked the other who is "the guy in back"? Ans: "Just some lookie loo". He left - purchased a used Foretravel from a pp.

Often a buyer -even with minimal knowledge- will be better informed than the salespeople.

The occupations you named *ALL* require some "background" - either experience, education - or both.

(IMO) RV salespersons have only two requirements: Alive and be able to speak..:R
