Lately at the RV lots salesmen have been telling me that things are tougher than ever before, still many of these self-starter, perpetually motivated sales people are not discouraged, yet are a little concerned with the scarcity of buyers coming on to the Recreational Vehicle sales lots these days and the extreme discounting of competitors both regionally and nationally. What is a sales person suppose to do? Well never admit defeat, disregard the industry trends and deny the competition the sale. How so you ask?

Well as a sales person, it is up to you to make sales and that is regardless to what is going on in the industry. Sure an RV sales person must address the fuel costs of the RVs that they sell and acknowledge that this is a concern. Yet at the same time fewer people buying RVs means better selection and lower prices for the buyer and you ought to let them know that.

Selling Recreational Vehicles has never been tougher say industry analysts and RV lots are bursting at the seams with inventory and manufacturers are laying off their workers for the first time in 10-years. Why? Sure we all know it is because of the high-fuel prices. But are you indeed going to let an outside force like that prevent you from helping your customers into their dream motor home? I think not.
