As I mentioned in my most recent sales report, I have never sold a vehicle between the dates of November 1st and November 7th, EVER. I had seen three Novembers come and go and that is the one and only week where I’ve never been able to sell a vehicle.
The tradition, unfortunately, continues.
What’s up with that?
It’s not that I take a breather. As a commissioned salesperson, I am always on the hunt for a sale, but that week, I’ve always earned zero. Traffic has been down, but not zero. I got people into Finance, but they never came out with a new vehicle registration.
Some events may play a role. There is a NASCAR race every November that draws a lot of the Chevy crowd away. Halloween just happened and Thanksgiving is approaching. This year, you can add a frightening election to the mix.
Maybe next year, I’ll take my vacation that week…
