The $million$ $Dollar$ question. Do you have to wash and vaccum cars?

: and enlighten some of your former brothers
: and
: sisters or even a person on the fence about
: seeking employment with ERAC.
:Here ya go!
: Renting cars for a living is no grand
: affair, regardless of which company you work
: for, but you should at least get more than a
: $100 check and dinner for your efforts. We
: have the same benefits - Medical, Dental,
: Vision, Paid Vacation, Referral Bonus,
: Discount Rental for friends and family, etc.
: We are not required to take CDW (LDW) to get
: the discount, but if your friends and family
: upgrade or take coverage, whoever writes the
: ticket gets paid for it. DTG does pre-hire
: and random drug screening, so you don't have
: to work with any moody ice-heads. I consider
: myself to be an average to above average
: salesperson, and I am making about
: $20-$25/hr, writing an average of 30
: contracts per day. Once I get the hang of
: it, that number will increase significantly.
: It's not like I'll be rich enough to retire
: in 6 years on that kind of money, but at
: least it's an honest figure, rather than
: some inflated bullshit number like they
: boast about at ERAC. There are about 10
: people who sell consistently better than I
: who are making $30-$50/hr, writing 40-50
: contracts per day. 3 or 4 of them hit 6
: figures last year and are headed for a
: repeat this year. I'll make as much as a
: GP36 branch manager this year and possibly
: as much as an ARM. The best part is that I
: will only have to work an 8 hour day, 5 days
: a week to get it. I don't know about you,
: but having time to have a life is just as
: valuable to me as money.
: Cash customers - they have to give up their
: first born, so we don't get many of them.
:
: Flat tires and lockouts - for $4.99/day,
: which many people happily pay, we outsource
: someone to unlock your car, jumpstart your
: car, change your flat, bring you gas, etc.
: Just like AAA and I get paid commision for
: it. If the customer does not pay for
: "roadsafe" we send a spare key by
: cab and they pay for the spare key and the
: cab.
:
: Conversions - only 1 that I know of so far,
: and those get handled by a private security
: company, so no late night drive-bys to deal
: with.
:
: Additional drivers - $6/day, and guess what,
: I get paid for those too.
:
: GPS - $60/week, and again, commission.
:
: Full coverage - $53/day, surprise,
: commission.
:
: Upgrades - usually $20-$50/day, more
: commission.
:
: So let's do some math:
: Customer has an FCAR res at say, $35/day for
: 4 days.
: You upgrade them to a MVAR for $40/day.
: They take coverage, let's be realistic and
: say they only take LDW $22/day and SLI at
: $13/day.
: They have an additional driver for $6/day.
:
: 40+22+13+6= $81.00/day x 4 days = $324.00 of
: extra income you earned your company.
: Depending on your yield, you get between
: 3.5-12% of that transaction. You get between
: $11.34 - $38.88 for that transaction. Say
: you write 30 tickets today (conservative
: estimate) and only half of them go this
: well. You just made $170 - $583 today on top
: of your hourly rate. If you can sell you
: will generate $2,000-$4,000/day extra income
: for your company. If you are consistent and
: have a good yield, your commission will be
: 12% of that. You work 20 days a month. At
: the bottom end, your commission is $4,800.
: Several of your peers will make upwards of
: $7,000. This is ON TOP OF your hourly rate,
: which at this point is just "beer
: money" to you.
: I forgot to mention tuition reimbursement. I
: know, I know, that pales in comparison to
: the "virtual MBA" I could have
: gotten from ERAC, but now I can get a real
: MBA and DTG will help me pay for it. Could
: you imagine trying to convince a prospective
: employer that you have a virtual MBA from
: ERAC community college? LMFAO
