Dealing With The Wireless Industry. Pt. III: Out For Blood
👀 I have to be careful because with the lawsuits going around I have to be careful so I don't get sued. Seriously though those case is gonna get settled in no time at all. On to more interesting stuff, I recently ran across a post on another website where a customer said that all cell phone reps only care about making a sale and not the customer.
This stuck a cord with me, being a independent agent myself, and hearing this made me mad but also had me thinking is there any truth to what this guy is saying.

Yes there are many unscrupulous sales people out there and they give those of us who try to offer the products and services with integrity a black eye.
My employer has made it a termination offense to defraud either a customer or one of our wireless partners to gain additional commission. Managers audit all customer agreements thoroughly every day.
