I was wanting to get some pointers on how i should get this thing going,i have a prime location on the interstate,no dealership within 45 min. from here.can buy this guys franchise,he has one in town but not in a very good location and i dont think he wants to do it anymore.i just wanted to get this topic started and see how some of you guys feel about this.thanks

 

The main problem with the dealers is that they don,t care about the person coming in the door. It is there money not yours, even after the sale you are there to serve the customer. be noligible on the product and have you staff trained not this guess work mechanical hit or miss stuff. Everybody remember what it is like to wait at the counter and twittle your thumbs with out being aknowleded? thats a good way to loose costomers. answer the phone within three rings , and be honest goo the extra distance and you should be succsesfull. Good luck

 

Be prepared to spend a LOT of money to open any new modern dealship.

 

i have got a good location,can get the franchise,and there is a good oppertunity for me to do something that i would enjoy.

 

Hey Guys~

I think this is a great opportunity for you! I think everybody else on here would agree with me when I say I would love to see a new dealership that actually knows the ATV's they are selling. I see that you have 136 posts in this forum, so I assume you know what you're talking about. Of course it won't be cheap to start this business, but it is hard to say no if you have the location and you will be getting paid doing something you enjoy. My opinion...take on the challenge and best of luck!

 

silverado,
There's only one way to see if your dream can become reality. Good Luck!

I would say go for it. You will regret it later if you don't at least give it a try. From my five years in the business world, I have learned two basic rules:

1. If we don't take care of the customer, someone else will.
2. Refer to rule 1.

I hope this works out for you. I just wish you were in my area. I would love to help you on this. Oh well, let us know what you decide.

 

Oh man good luck. You are actually doing something that I have been wanting to do. I hope it all goes well!!!

 

I say go for it if the money is there to be made. The best part about it, is that you will love what you are doing. Thats the no. 1 rule! Like the others said, great customer service is a must.


If you love it and it pays good (eventually), you can not go wrong!

 

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'd love to have an opportunity like that, go for it! You failed to mention what you would be selling. Although I figure its safe to assume that it will be Yamahas. just kidding.
