I agree good luck to you, you are the sort of enthusiast they need not someone who just hits sales targets

I would look at it this way, imagine you are a salesman, it is 4 o clock on a saturday afternoon and some guy is looking at the cars for sale on the forecourt, i gurantee 8/10 salesman would have a look out of the window and stay sitting on their idle ars3 whereas that guy could be willing to spend his hard earned, he then buggers off to some other dealer and buys of them. If i was in that situation, i would go out and say can i help you at all even if he says i am just looking i would reply, that is no problem just give me a shout if you need any help, or if he said yes i am interested in this car, i would say come inside and we can talk through some options and see what happens then. What salesman are worst at is pre judging especially car salesman dealing in high performance cars, you dont know that the person has a limited amount to spend and like i said before, you dont meet your targets,you get a b0llocking off the sales manager and in some cases your shown the door.

Hey they are stunning cars Andy, i was lucky enough to get a 2 weeks works experience placement 3 years ago through my high school as you had to complete works experience so i said can i go Bentley and i did, it was great, the interior is amazing, the work that goes into them is amazing.

One used to park over the road from my house...standard car......Nor once did I feel the need to go over and have a look....Just didn't do a thing for me....I had people stop and look at my MRK2 Exige more than the Bentley...

Well i think i would prefer the Exige to be honest. The bentley does look a bit plain, it is not like an Aston, everyone loves an Aston.

I think Stratstone have some very nice stuff in seeing as though they are not the largest dealer in the country, the showroom is quite small really, but the staff are friendly, John and Dave are the best guys to speak to i think.

Jon is getting some great feedback since he joined, we have some great positive comments about him. Checking on customers out of hours and going the extra mile regularly.... (I think I have met Dave briefly, but deal with Jon..)
