Suggested Performance Expectations

Proposed dealership targets, not Lexus corporate requirements.

I would also establish a clear division of responsibility: the sales consultant owns the sale and overall delivery experience, while the Technology Specialist owns technology education, setup and subsequent technology support. This helps avoid confusion about accountability and keeps the specialist available for both new and existing Lexus customers.
