Need some job help

[davidmoon]

OK, for the last 7 weeks I've been in the interview process for a BDC position with the local BMW dealer. I've had two interviews--the last one being this past week. It was explained to me that I was one of two remaining candidates for the position. On a routine follow-up. the GM told me that they "think" they've decided on the other candidate. So I've decided to ask you to tell him that he's making a mistake. I believe that I bring a fresh prospective to the industry, and as demonstrated here (I hope), I'm willing to listen and reevaluate my thinking when necessary. I also bring a whole lot of experience and know-how to the table. They need a lot of help, and I have a lot of great ideas to move them forward quickly. Besides, the other dealers in town suck. Please help me by telling the GM that I'm worthy and right for the position?

I'm all for trying to create unfair advantages--so I thought I'd give this strategy a college try. Thanks in advance--love you all either way. His email is:

Thanks to everyone!!! BTW, this is what we call in Internet marketing crowdsourcing.

 

[davidmoon]

Thanks again everyone for your support. It's a very tough market in Chattanooga and I'll be pushing forward. I see it as more of a loss to them, and it is to me. But still, it's a good dealership with good people.

David,

You can always come sell for me. It's going to be a 100% commission payplan until you get rocking and rolling.

 

[davidmoon]

Sales ... AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I might be able to improve your product and give you new products to sell. Maybe a fancier Website and some social network set-up marketing ... on a lead to customer commission.

David,

We can talk when I get back from NADA.
