Call cust service

I need the full list, i'm an indirect. Would like to be compatible with corporate 😎

I would really prefer not to sell phones outright since we make, what $20-$50 off them? I would rather just keep them in inventory for activations or upgrades. I have my outright set so hight that I am trying to run off people looking for phones outright, if they do decide to buy them then I make a decent profit and make it worth my time.

in my area, I get a lot of people who loose, or break their phones. Even though they have an insurance, 90% of them refuse to use it for some reason. They would rather get a new phone. The corporate store is like 5 blocks away from me that's why I need to know what's their full prices...

right, I understand, but why are you actively TRYING to make $20ish off a phone and loose it from your inventory?

since I can have phones replaced next day...why wouldn't I make a few bucks? Then I try to sell them accessories and etc. And if not...oh well, I made 20 bucks for 5 minutes work. And kept someone from going to another store (which is worth its weight in gold)

Your right

it's definitely worth it, especially for me, because i just opened 4 months ago. I need to build up my clientele

I look at a cold unit like an accessory sale. It is clean...non chargebackable...usually really quick (people already have service, no training)...and keeps their upgrade eligibility date the same. So, would I be happy making 30 bucks on a bluetooth headset? Sure. Then why not a phone. Now, that being said. I do try to make a minimum of 50 on a cold unit. But anyway...it is just good business to do whatever it takes to ensure that when a customer walks in your door...your store is the only place they will visit for whatever it is they need. Granted there are times as an indirect that you have to send them to a retail store (FRU unit that a customer cannot wait for one to be sent and/or they won't use a loaner phone) but by and large y...

I know EXACTLY what you mean, One thing that I have found out that really helps build up repeat business is "VIP discount cards".

Get a company to make you up say 1000 business card sized cards that offer your customers a discount, say....

-Waived phonebook transfer fees
-20% off all accessories
-Free phone cleaning (every now and then just give it a once over and blow the dust out of it and clean it up a littly)
-Lifetime warranty on all accesories

or some things like that, make sure to give the cards out to everybody who buys a phone (new or upgrade) and tell them to keep it in their wallet so anytime they need anything they come back to you becaseu they feel special and that they get special priviliges at your store, they will...

thank you guys, those r really helpful tips. I acually made flyers (post card size) with 20% discount on accessories, but VIP cards sounds better

The first year I was open I spent almost $3k on flyers and hiring kids to put them out at local shopping centers, I put out probably about 15k flyers and had mabe 5-10, yes five or ten flyers, come in, For me flyering was not worht it at all.
