    I don't the best thing I could do is refer them to someone that is eyeing the same brand.

    I give something (not monetary btw) dun sa suki ko na service advisor.

    it depends. if I see them going an extra mile, being helpful, etc. then I will give. but not monetarily. probably a small token or food.

    Would avoid attractive SAs ... if one has low EQ ... one will not be able to negotiate very well ...

    P2k commision for a P1M sale? (unless we're talking of a sub 0.5M car here, 2nd hand?) no way, that is just 0.2%! who would be so dumb to work for such small commission? 0.5% maniwala pa ako kung fully discounted na but not that low a commission rate. that is almost working for free already.

    when i worked in sales many years ago our commission starts at 5%, then going down as the price is discounted. but there is a minimum price and a minimum commission of 1%. below that the sale will not get approved.

    I dont see any reason why you want to tip the agent when they get commission already.

    And the assgents cant get the or/cr in under a week. Excuses

    And they cant give fixed maintenance pricing... quote quote per visit? Ano excuse nila? Service department iba sa sales kuno.

    yes way, go ask the indusry insiders on how it works, if you have a relative like i do, the better, there are units with big discounts, comission is down to a minimum, most of the agents earn thru in-house financing...if you pay cash or thru your own bank loan, their commision is compromise..

    Better also to give the tip to the service advisor or the mechanic ... but some dealers do not allow their people to receive tips ...

    Yun nga sir! Paano kung maganda at ***y ang SA. So it depends. hahahaha! I heard kasi na maliit lang commission ng iba especially sa mga bestsellers na madali lang naman ibenta. J.CO donut na lang siguro hehe

    Medyo hindi maganda tignan pag cash ang gift. Food is the safest. Most companies have gift policies and accepting cash is not allowed. Gifts or food of a small amount are allowed though. I do give a gift to my sales agent usually a box of ensyamada or cheese roll or donuts. My sales agent still helps me even years after I have bought the car (eg I need a contact at the parts or body repair dept)

    Personally, I find monetary tips insulting unless it's in an industry where tipping is practiced (waiter, driver, salon stylist, mechanic etc).

    Car agents are in sales. I don't think you should give them anything.

    Pag bumibili ba kayo sa malls nag binigay kayo ng tip sa mga sales lady?

    Siguro Naman mas kailangan ng mga sales lady yun tip na binigay niyo, nakatayo Sila buong araw just to make a sale.

    They earn by commissions not tips. It's part of their job description to go out their way to
    Make their clients happy

    Agree. I don't think it is common practice to tip a sales agent. It's a bit ironic actually. What I do if I like the service rendered, I refer him/her to friends and family.

    But it is a free country and we can do as we please.

    I could give a tip to buyers though. Stay away from the pretty ones. 😊

    But they're in service business not sales.

    Service charge i-pool nila to share among themselves. Yun tips is for them personally or yun iba ipunin nila tapos paghatian nila rin lahat.

    Sales agent yun commission sa kanila lang personally yun, Doon talaga Sila
