how many is too many

[turbo59]

we have 10 people in our dept, parts manager, asst. manager and countermen. is there a standard according to your sales? we average around 345-382 thousand a month in total sells. our gross profit is around 95-102 thousand on average.

we do have two shops and therefore we can't use one counterman to the max. we have pick printers but the techs like to look at a human! i think we have too many on the payroll.

does nada have an employee guide based on total sales?

i must admit we also have at least 2 slackers...


because of his grace,

MANFACTURERS RECOMMEND FOR DOMESTIC 32,000 - 38,000 SLS PER PERSON INCLUDING CASHIER, DRIVERS, MGRS, ASST MGR, SHIPPING AND COUNTER, ETC. IMPORTS ARE A LITTLE HIGHER 36,000 - 42,000
THIS CHANGE IS DUE TO THE EPC & IN HOUSE INTRGRATION WITH INVENTORY SYSTEMS. AS FAR AS THE SLACKERS CHANGE THEIR PAY PLANS TO COMMISION ON WHAT THEY SELL & SMALLER PART TO TOTAL DPT GP
