Cars, incentives, and the end of the month
This story from This American Life is fantastic. It is an account of a car dealership that earns a sizable bonus if it sells 129 cars in the month. It raises or answers many questions:
- Does the sales manager respond to incentives?
- What are the personality traits of a successful salesperson?
- When do car salespeople purchase cars for themselves?
- What does the Art of War have to do with selling cars?
- Do automobile manufacturers use the bonus scheme effectively?
- Do buyers get good deals at the end of the month?
- Does a U-form organization help all divisions work together effectively.
