Koons Tyson's does very well. They are over three times our size, have a 499 processing (299 more than ours) advertise prices as " plus freight", and post prices online. I can't post prices online, we don't like to add freight back in currently, and don't have the allocation that they get.
I have to plead "no comment" about Darcars. I used to work for Darcars and my father is a Sales manager at the DarCars college park Nissan and VW. That's reall all I want to say, too much history involved to give an unbiased answer.
Yes it would help to have specials on our website. It would help to have ISMs to answer all of these leads. It would help to have more efficient tools. It would help to be able to implement a better process. It would help to know what is expected of me. It would help if i could contribute to the bottom line as badly as i want to. It would help to have the power to do all of these things. It would help to have a pay plan to pay me for doing all of these things.
I want all of this more than I've ever wanted anything in my life.

However, I currently have the payplan of a salesmen, the expectations of a director, and the power of a lot tech. You can see how this presents some problems . I can't want it for them.
