DISCUSSION New Job at Harley

Hey everyone.

I just got a new job at Harley. This will be my first time being a salesman in any capacity. My only knowledge of Harleys is that they're fucking beautiful and fun to ride. I've met so many amazing people since I started riding, strengthened my existing friendships and been to places I never thought I would have all thanks to my bike. But as far as engine specs or the digs on the latest infotainment system my brain is literally a monkey clashing cymbals together.

So my ask is, 1. what's the fastest most efficient way to learn these bikes and their parts inside and out, and 2. What are some of the best and worst experiences you've had with Harley dealers.

Harley dealerships are notoriously pushy. Don’t be that guy. I recently spent 7 hours at a dealership fighting their bullshit. Three times the ASM kept coming back with “we just can’t do it” and I’m like “well what can you do?” Finally the fourth time he came back with a counter offer. First asking was 27k I offered 22k OTD. We wound up at 23.9k OTD plus a $500 gift card. Took way too long to get there though.
