CA, SA, etc....

Hate to be the one to ask the dumb question but what do these acronyms mean?

Year1of1 · 04-06-2008, 09:35 PM

client advisor, or sales associate ... fancy job description for car salesmen

Oregon · 04-06-2008, 09:37 PM

I thought it was Sales Advisor?:iono::wink:

plien69 · 04-06-2008, 09:37 PM

I've always thought CA = Client Advisor (the guy who sells you your car), and SA = Service Advisor (the guy who takes care of your car).

That's what my sales and service person's titles read on their site and business cards.

ScottyGams · 04-06-2008, 09:48 PM

correct

CA=sales
SA=service

Thanks guys, I had the jobs right, just couldn't figure out the acronyms.

SA - Sales Agent! Sorry, couldn't resist adding to the confusion.

Tricky when there is more than one interpretation.

Like, for example, POS = Point of Service? No way!! POS = Piece of Sh_t! Like a Yugo.

Yeah, too many meanings... point of sale in retail, and point of service for health insurance policy, parent over shoulder for teen texting, and piece of sh_t for all types of garbage products.

BTW, love that avatar, Scotty!

It really depends on the BMW Center you're dealing with.
