New Car Salesperson Commissions

I've been working with a particular salesperson for the purchase of my new car. He has been really helpful and spent time with me to select the correct vehicle. I'm now ready to buy. I've tried coming to the dealership on a couple different days, but something came up at home and I couldn't make it out there. Hard to find the time. This afternoon I have an open time period (rare) and could go to make the purchase. But my salesperson doesn't work today, so if I go a different salesperson would be making the sale. I'm thinking that if I went today, my original salesperson (who put in all the time) would lose out on any commission ... and that seems disloyal since he did all the real work. Is that correct? Would only today's salesperson get the commission? Thanks.

    Individual dealerships could have different ways of handling it. Call the dealership and talk to the sales manager, and explain your issue.
