Being a motor trader can bring in fantastic financial rewards depending on what
sector of the industry you choose and how you manage your business.
As
with any business, management is key. If you work hard to market yourself,
increase your profits and decrease your expenses you are on the road to
success. When looking at the difference between car dealerships and mechanical
workshops, it's easy to see that a mechanical workshop could be the financially
viable option.
People
need their vehicles repaired, they need them serviced and as a legal
requirement, they need to have their MOT test carried out annually. This means
that mechanical workshops will have a constant flow of clientèle from repeat
and referral customers to new customers.
On
the other hand car dealerships that sell used cars may be financially better
off than those that sell new cars. Cheaper vehicle sales may be a more viable
option over the newer and expensive vehicles.
New
and expensive vehicles requires most purchasers to obtain finance. These days
financial institutions have become very strict in handing out credit. In fact
obtaining credit can be almost impossible for many as the lending rules have
chances with the financial crisis we have just experienced. So even though
dealerships that sell these vehicles probably make more profit per vehicle
sold, they don't sell as many vehicles as a car dealership that sells
affordable second hand vehicles that a purchaser can pay for in cash.
Most
people who join this industry do it because they love the industry. You find
the majority of mechanics have been tinkering with vehicles since they were
young, huddled up in the garage with Dad on a weekend repairing a vehicle or
fixing the farm equipment when they lived in a village. Mechanics is something
that has grown on them and pushed them towards this career.
As
a mechanic in a company you can earn a decent salary, most workshops will offer
above average salaries to those employers who are in demand. Maybe you
specialise in certain vehicles or have knowledge about vehicles that none of
the other employees have. This puts you in demand and takes the strain off the
owner and in turn, can lead to a higher pay cheque at the end of each month.
If
you really want to know how much money you can make as a motor trader then you
have to think about how you manage your business and the demand for your
services. These two combined can offer fantastic financial rewards in the long
run.
