Commercial Manager and staff

I think there is some unbalance in the commercial area of the game.

I spent about 600.000 or 700.000 per race on commercial manager and staff (25)  and my revenue is less than 300.000 per race

Maybe it is just my incompetence but if i make 1.5 million per race  (minus the 700.00 i put in) then it is still not worth spending these staff people and the money on the commercial manager on it.

I posted it as a bug because I think something must be broken if i make so little money on merchandise.
I dont expect to make millions but a loss of 400.000 per race is a bit to much to waste staff hours on.

Same.

Also seems that training commercial staff does nothing.

Right now im making 1.2 million profit per race, you need to look at your quality and markup etc as its different now.

And adam is right about the training level for marketers. With everything the same on my 2 accounts but one being level 7 and the other level 19 i made the same amount of money.

Would love to actually see a run down of what each staff type actually does.

What quality and markup are you running Richard?

I was running higherst qualtiy with a markup of 15.

I changed it now to high quality with a markup between 6 and.

I'll know Tuesday if this is better. At least I know it is possible to make a profit so I'll just keep tuning it.

I'm making 600k/race with 50 marktrs and skill 20

got work on it.

I've been tuning it every race but I just don't know how to fix it so I make at least money in stead of losing it.

I'll try it a few more times but otherwise I'll just stop using commercial since the gain (if you do it properly) is not so high and my loses are.

Also, I prefer spending my staff on the car in design or replacing parts in stead of selling crappy stuff. 

So thats probably about break even right?

Easiest way to make more money would be to add a bit of markup, no?

^ last race i made 284k with 24 staff, take off what i pay the commerical manager i made 34k profit, gonna play about with it a bit more to see how much it is possible to make [since i have spare staff anyway]
