I'm curious as to how much a salesperson makes on a sale ... approximately. And how many you have to sell to put bread on your table.
Less than you would think. On a 40,000 NEW car you could expect maybe 2.5 3k in pure profit at most. I had a flat rate comission, %15 on all profit when I sold motorcycles. In the car industry however, I belive there is a tiered system as well.
