Quote:Gonna have to sell a lot of Fords and Chevys to make up that salary.
Should have sold something more high end for a bigger commission.
I suppose beggars can't be choosers, and you've got to be a talented salesperson to sell to a more sophisticated consumer.
My guess is that he'll provide more value to his employers in the role quoted below:
Quote:He'll also be a "goodwill ambassador," heading all of Sarchione's local community efforts such as the Wounded Warriors Project.
An NFL player, even when suspended, can be a useful PR asset.
People are laughing, but this is smart. He will get paid very well doing this. He isnt going to be paid like a regular salesman. This is basically an endorsement deal where the lot pays him to show up every day to attract customers.

Exactly. He isn't going to be Joe Salesman standing out on the curb. A lot of the people making fun of this will probably make a lot less than Gordon will with this little job.

I agree, but only when that player is a positive and not a negative icon.
I see a sideshow, not necessarily a draw.
If I were buying, I'd probably go elsewhere. Not all attention is positive.

Figures you'd be attracted to such a lowlife.
I can't think of a better person to be a car salesman than Josh Gordon
After all, he's fairly experienced in dealing with stiff suspensions.

It's in Cleveland... the people love him there.

Well, there is that.

Badumbum!
I think it is a safe bet that Gordon is not working 10-12 hour days including weekends, taking fresh "ups" off the street and performing a needs based sales presentation.
I don't see him negotiating trade-in values, nor selling the benefits of rustproofing or extended warranties with Joe the Plumber.
He is NOT selling cars.
I heard Ray Rice gave him a call asking if there was another opening.

Buy a car and you get to punch Ray Rice...hook em and cook em!
