Anybody ever heard of or used this company for your wholesale representation? Guy came knocking on the door. Not really interested but wonder if anyone has any real world experience with them?

I HAD THEM FOR AROUND 2 YEARS. WHEN WE ENDED THE RELATIONSHIP I WAS SPENDING $1200. A MONTH . DID THEY GET ME NEW BUSINESS IN THIS SATURATED MARKET?
NOT REALLY. I BOUGHT AN AREA THAT WAS TAKEN BY MY LOCAL CHEVY COMPETITOR. MY ADVANTAGE SALESMAN AFTER 2 MONTHS GAVE ME MY MONEY BACK ON THAT AREA SAYING HE COULD NOT GET IN TO THE AREA. EVEN THOUGH HE REPRESENTED HIMSELF PROFESSIONALLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE HE DIDNT REALLY GET ME ANY NEW BUSINESS. ALL MY NEW BUSINESS WAS WORD OF MOUTH. WE HAVE GREAT SERVICE HERE. EVEN ME THE PARTS MANAGER WOULD GET IN HIS/MY CAR AND DELIVER SOMETIMES. I GOT RID OF HIM RIGHT BEFORE PASE CAME OUT. AND I GOT RID OF WHOLESALE RIGHT AROUNF THE SECOND GM STRIKE. I AM NOT A WHOLESALE DEALER. JUST A DEALER THAT WANTS TO DO THE WHOLESALE. AFTER PASE CAME OUT GM GAVE ME LESS MONEY ON MY PURCHASES . I COULD NOT COMPETE WITH THE WHOLESALE DELAERS THAT SPENT 3-20 MILLION A MONTH. I WENT UP TO AROUND 150,000 A MONTH IN WHOLESALE MOST OF IT 10% OVER COST. NOW I CHARGE A MINIMUM OF 20% OVER COST AND USE THE BTC CALCULATOR FOR EVERYTHING THAT I CAN. MY MONTHLY TOTALS AFTER GETTING RID OF 1 DRIVER AND A SALESMAN IS AROUND $65000.

WOULD I HIRE THIS ADVANTAGE SALESMAN AGAIN IF I WAS A BIG WHOLESALE DEALER?

PROBABLY NOT.
