This likely applies to all larger commission based purchases but do your large buys near the end of the month.
Why? Commission based jobs generally have bonuses and incentives for their staff to hit specific sales targets for the month. What this means is, near the end of the month you’ll have sales staff trying a little harder to close deals and get in those last minute sales. What this means for you is a sales person more willing to negotiate a better deal on your purchase.
This is coming from personal experience as I worked in furniture sales for 6 years (two different stores) and tried it out a couple times myself.
Cars too, as slimy as dealerships are they will try to make monthly quotas and are a bit more flexible on things.
Counter-point: if the sales people already hit their goals they won’t bend over backwards to help you
Yeah this is true for probably most commission and metric based companies. I use to work for a large cable company and the last week of the month was always a free for all to get those metrics up at the last minute.
Late fees, not anymore. Charged for something extra? No sir. Prorated chargees? Haha not for those five stars, baby.
Y’all out there buying new furniture?
I think the movie Wayne’s world has a Gun Rack scene like this.
