The last 3 months were slow at my location, but this month has really picked up, all of my area has. But were Verizon.

We're in our slow months, usually September and October are the worst but just remember the Christmas hell is right around the corner.

We I just did a 5 line activtion and gave 4 FREE LG CE110 and 1 Free nokia 6085, And i'm not talking about Free after rebate I did them out free all together to beat a offer she got from Alltel, Oh and she was a former Verizon customer, and she called me alittle bit ago VERY happy with us.

So to answer your question, yes it's down and I did that deal because of it.

That is a lot of subsidy my friend....5 free phones with a dealer cost of $130 each equals $650.

4 tier one acts equals $560, Assuming the primary was a tier 5 equals $380. So net profit was $280 plus features, accessories, and 5 lines of residual. Lets hope they reach the 6 month mark.

I would have tried to do it all after MIR. Crazy deal, but would have probably done the same thing.

I pray they hit that 6 month mark, But you got to do what you got to do. She flat out said I don't want to pay for a phone, of course I aimed right at the good ol Nokia 2610. But they didn't want that so it came down to $280 or $0 I took the $280 + all the media plans on all lines and accessories.

Yes and no...

Store 1 - MTD is at 68 postpaid new thorugh today. Pacing to do 189 new acts....beautiful!! This store averages 130 post paid new a month.

Store 2 - MTD - is currently at 15 new. Pacing to do 40. Very bad. This location averages 65 post paid monthly.


Store one has had a lot of my regular business customers add heavily, so the numbers are a little skewed.

Store 2 has a fu(king Walmart that everone shops at and has killed small business for the area.

In my 2 plus years of being open, April's and November's are the slowest for me. Guess everyone is broke paying taxes and saving for Christmas. BEst of luck.
