I was always curious about that. Just wondered. | ||

commission...and they're probably not rollin' in dough.....usually a fixed rate on the new bikes and potentially better money on used. | ||

ALL depends on the dealership! | ||

So you think like 30K or like 100K. Just wondered what the average was.... doesnt anyone know a HD salesperson? Average Dealership/Average Salesperson...  | ||

I know a couple, but asked a roundabout question because it isn't any of my business. I know one dealership who does a shared commission, which I think rocks. The reason why it rocks is because, let's say you were caught on a bad day, and the customer didn't really like what you were wearing (ok, stupid analogy) and a co-worker did, will the co-worker sells, you don't care, and you still get your money for it. I think DaveS makes about 10 Million Dollars a year, or at least he should as many as he has sold.  | ||

Daves pulling in about $3.5 mil. | ||

I know plenty o' HD sale personnel: each dealer's different, but commish is the order of the day. an average of 35k is likely correct in cooler climes, double that in warmer....NY, Conn.,AZ.,Ill. and Cali will always have a bit higher scale, esp. in nicer areas | ||

Doesn't matte how much he makes, cause Dave sends all his millions to Kandie. Good man Dave.  | ||
| Blake |
I mean seriously... why else do you think Kandie is still tolerating the man?  He also must go out into the frozen wilderness, stalk, hunt down, kill and bring home the freezer meat every year. That Kandie is one prize of a spouse and Dave works his tail off to earn his keep. Smart man that Dave. | ||

My sales guy mentioned that he was pulling in around $70k a year. Of course it helped that his wife ran the operation, and they sold a lot of bikes. | ||

Guy who sold me mine claimed he made between 80-100k per year. Strange thing, he got fired about 6 weeks after he sold me my bike. I think he had a disagreement with the Laidlaw family. | ||

Yeah that Laidlaw family... just kidding i used to use Bartels but then again i lived on the west side. dont know how much they made but the owner also owned Teasers in Santa Monica and maybe another place in Marina Del Rey. Tim  | ||

Yeah man ive never been in there. i just took that pic while driving on the 10 during a vacation back out to Cali in 04. Im in NY now and just got a job at a big HD/Buell/import dealer in Rochester. hoping to get more Buell attention going here. Tim | ||

Well, thank God for one more strong link in a chain with many weak ones in it. "One small step for Buell, a giant leap for Buellkind" --Neil Buellstrong, when he first set foot on planet Buell in the Buell Nebula of the Buell galaxy. | ||

Laidlaw, Aren't they the big student transportation company? As in school buses? | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
What do I think HD sales people make? Hmm let me see now, Hatstand, Seatwarmer, Pencil carrier, WIND!  | ||

I don't think it's the same Laidlaw family. It's actually sort of a common surname around here, as I've met two Laidlaw's randomly who knew nothing about the Harley dealer but of course they had seen the buses. Not related to that either. | ||

I interviewed with a Milwaukee area dealer about 4 years ago for the Buell "specialist" sales position. The guy that was leaving the job was pulling down about $55k-60k per year (plus the use of a new demo bike every year). |
