Curious about HD sales, most of the sales folks I have ever talked to seemed pretty mellow and likable so I was wondering if there was some folks out here that know about HD sales:

1. How much canyou make (average salary)?

2. What kind of hours do you work in a week? Are all Texas dealers closed on Sunday?

3. Is it a high pressure sales job like cars salesor a laid back relaxing kinda mellow kinda job?

4. Do you get much of a discount on buying a new bike?

5. Any kind of company benefits (medical/401K/etc...)

6. Do you get a free T-Shirt every week?

7. Is it different (all the above questions)at each dealership and HD MoCo has nothing to do with it?

Thanks.

1) Never enough, but enough to look after my family
2) Too many....and if you don't work almost "every" Saturday, don't expect to make any real money
3) Well it isn't laid back. Those folks that buy Harley's can be a real pain in the ....

4) Yep.....cost, plus $200. But only one per year (and cost is not as cheap as some might think)
5) Usually no for most dealers, but there are a few that offer half decent benefits
6) Yep.....and they'll just deduct it from your pay
7) Some differences, between dealerships. HD has a lot of say in what happens at your dealership.
