Isales,I would describe my situation in a similar fashion to the way which you described yours. I too, started with a raw, borderline non-existent internet department. I started with very little knowledge regarding internet sales in the Automotive Industry as well. I slowly cultivated an internet department while teaching myself the best practices while slowly developing my own ideas as well.The majority of your story sounds similar to mine. That being said, I slowly built my value and more importantly, discreetly made my overhead aware of said value. I've slowly been able to increase my pay and perks.I think the important thing is distinguishing yourself which it sounds like you have. You aren't just a "CRM watcher" as ddavis said. You are a creative asset, a forward thinker, and a difficult employee to replace. Our General Sales Manager has worked at my dealership for 20 years and worked his way up from sales. The Sales Manager has worked here for 14 years and also worked up from sales. I put that in perspective and I'm reasonable about my requests as a result. I think the key for you is just going to be assessing your own value vs. your perceived value within the dealership. If they line up it should be pretty clear what you are entitled to.
