What's the deal?
Our cingular kickback recently dropped significantly on new activations, from about $250 on 39.99 plans to $162...lower than T-MOBILE for goodness sakes! Our company is seriously considering dropping them from our lineup...we currently carry everything. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this change directly from Cingular and forcing our master agent to lower their payouts? Or is this a just an act of idiocy caused by our master agent being stingy?

don't know, but the company is contantly changing the commission structure to make it so the company sales reps make less and less. 👿

A new commision structure went into effect on Sept 1st. It is drastically lower on some price levels, and remains the same or even better on others. To make up for this they changed how features pay. Basically they used to pay 3xs their value, now its 4xs up to $100/feat. So no, its not your master agent, its cingular. Though your master agent could be like some of the gas companies and use it as an excuse to squeeze a few extra dollars here and there.
