Lolwut. I'm a "floor person" and when somebody tells me they want to factory order a truck, I say "great! Let's go take a look at how you've spec'd it out and I'll get it in the system ASAP!"
It takes me 5 minutes to do up a factory order form. It's not rocket science. I design it in my DMS system and then write down the option codes on the order form, walk it up to the controller and when I get the order number I check COTUS daily and if there are any changes I call the customer and provide them with periodic updates and when it arrives, I snap photos and send them while the vehicle gets prepared for the sale.
But thanks for combining all of us "floor people" into one large group who don't know anything about anything. Those of us who do our jobs properly are the ones who have long-lasting relationships with our customers. Those who don't know how to do their jobs or who don't put the effort in are the ones who sit on the revolving door side of the showroom.

Thank you for not being one of them...
If I had a nickle for every time I've test driven a vehicle and EDUCATED THE SALESMAN on the vehicle I want to purchase, I'd be a MILLIONAIRE by now! Every manufacture needs to do a better job with dealers and salesman. As much as dealers make, they are loosing BILLIONS because of these idiotic salesman and the tactics some of them push on people..

What's most important isn't whether s/he is a "floor person" or a "fleet manager". What's most important is that you find a competent salesperson that you trust. Period.

There's your problem right there. Why are you "e-mailing hundreds of salesman (sic)"? You shouldn't be "finding a dealer" or "finding a salesman" each time you want to purchase a new car. You should "build a relationship" with someone that you can trust over the years. That's EXACTLY what I told my salesman ~9 years ago. The only way I'd buy a car from someone else would be if he got out of the business.
