I told him that most detailers bill out at $50 to $75 an hour, and so his pricing structure wasn`t going to be realistic to get anyone halfway qualified.
There is no business plan for this. It`s just some idea our GM came up with to bring in more money possibly. And it could work, but I don`t think that they`re willing to fork over the cash to do it. But on the other hand, I should advise them to get products i want, like a FLEX and stuff, then once it fails and they`ve given up I can get it all on the cheap or free.
EDIT: Good points. They`re not going to make a new department, they would just have us do details and installs. I think my best bet is to offer to do the detailing myself and teach the other guys how to, for a decent raise. Be sort of the "detail specialist". The full time installer doesn`t seem to want anything to do with this idea at all, but I`m not really too sure. I`ll have to talk to him about it tomorrow. And consult with some of the other managers that I trust and know are "on my side" so to speak and would give me good advice, as well as know how this store operates a little more. Maybe they try all sorts of crazy ideas all the time and fail. I know we are supposed to offer trailer security installs, lol.
