Jin cham. Not just sales staff I think smaller car dealerships also face difficulty hanging onto the business.

COE quota shrank too much. With phv and car sharing aggressively expanding situation got even worse.

i like the way that Tesla do sales. Honestly, do we really need car salesman? Are they really bringing value to consumers? 

Sometimes i feel real estate agents are not really necessary as well, esp for HDB transactions.

Should be booming. That's the only choice left for individual car buyers.

Sadly many retail sales ppl in sg are redundant. Poor product knowledge, poor customer service, poor communication skills

We buy rather than they sell

the person in charge keeps on saying, everything is fine and everything is normal. speechless at his ignorance. 😠

Everything is fine and normal in his ivory tower. In fact, he might even get obscene bonuses for exceeding his KPI

Simi 20 years, this is a 10 years cycle, every 10 years this time the showroom will be empty, COE price will go up.  SGP has this unique scenario that the lesser of people going to the showrooms, the higher the COE price will be🤣🤣

The trick is to have a heavy online social media presence so when people want to buy a car they automatically think of you.

the multiplier effect is gonna make it (cost of living) hit us bad.

however, not for the low income nor the high income.

more for the middle income.

those between $10,000 to $30,000 per mth. Becos the poor dont spend on high end stuff, the rich can well afford high end stuff.

its the in betweens that always suffer
