Brent, most of the folks participating on this network know most dealers do things right, but its the bad dealers that give us all a "black eye."
Most of us have worked for a "bad dealer" at one time or another so we want to share tips so newbies can avoid the old school dealers and find a dealership that truly recognizes the value of a professional sales team, and works hard to provide a great auto shopping and buying experience for everyone who walks on the lot. I invite you to start the discussion about good dealers and will absolutely join in.
If we don't highlight bad behavior, how can we recognize and appreciate good behavior?

When you work at a dealership, you are already work at a bad dealership. Maybe not the whole, but somewhere along the line there will be someone to screw it up.
