Well, guess what, we didn't give either dealership perfect ratings...sorry guys.
Sounds familiar, a few guys got the boot for bad surveys, but they were the exception. They did lose their bonus if they didn't get 100% of the people replying with a perfect survey though. That's why you'll hear stories like the one you heard, or other creative stories. A few guys would tell the customer to bring the survey in and they'd handle it, one guy offered to pick it up from the customer's house or job. It's a great way for management to create a nice bonus structure, and pay out on that bonus less. It's also another great way to stick it to a sales person you don't like.
