Is the aim of the assignment to reach the target price for each one. Sorry for the silly questions but I need all the help I can get.

No, you don't have to necessarily reach that price, it's just the price they think you can get. You won't be marked down for not being offered that price. The whole exercise is to find out what prices the showrooms actually ARE offering customers

Yes that's right. The target price is what they reckon you can get it for. I've beaten it on some occasions, think we should get a bonus in these cases!

I am way down south but was quite envious when I noticed what sounded like a lovely distillery up your way on GFK.....? Now that's what I call a rewarding job......:T

I did the car jobs this week and hated it. I was getting really sweaty especially every time they called me by my fake name, Aslo you may need to give an email address so be prepared with a fake one that goes with your name, and I also had to sign with my fake name. To top it al off I had to shake hands at the end of each one and I was all hot and sweaty! I don't know a thing about cars so really tried to learn about the models I was doing but I think that added to the nerves. Still I would do it all again for the money so it wasn't that bad!

Is anyone else having problems getting onto Bare? I was on earlier no probs, but my OH has just tried to log on to record his car shops, but the site is not responding.

The first car circuit I did I found it really demanding and very tiring and had loads of calls afterwards. This time I actually enjoyed doing them , well apart from deceiving the poor salesmen .... You dont necessarily need to give a fake name but its a good idea to not give your own phone number out .... you really will be inundated with calls otherwise .
Getting to the target price doesnt seem too difficult and sometimes you can get much better than that too.

Good luck!
