Hello everyone,
As some of you may know I work in motor trade for a dual franchise dealer at the moment, and I've been with one of the brands since 2003.
I've been with my current employer for 2 years this month and there has been a few changes in the last few months that I'm not overally happy with plus a few other things have made me think about changing my position.
I'm not ready yet to start up on my own full-time, as most salespeople do I do a little trading in my own limited free time but I don't want to start my own business just yet as I need to either save or borrow a bit of money. Maybe in 3-4 years time I'll start up, hopefully sooner as I know exactly what I want to do, where I want to be, what I want to stock, even the name!
Anyway... For the moment, I think I'd like to try either a niche or prestige brand for a few years. I don't like sports cars especially nor would I even fit in a Lotus. I've basically ended up with either Audi, BMW or Mercedes (obviously my first choice). But before I start looking around for positions available I thought it would be helpful to me if you chaps, the people who buy these cars could explain your expectations from someone selling the Mercedes brand. Any info/advice is welcome be it 3 words or 3 pages!
Thanks.
