Re: Customer: No, no thanks, I don't need to be bothered, I'm just looking

in the Shop Talk forum

Bother them until they either buy or leave. "Awesome, I'm glad your just looking. What are you looking for in particular?" Nothing really "Alright, well lets get you something to look at. What kind of phone do you have now?" Don't let them get the satisfaction of checking all of your stuff and then buying online. Help them as much as possible and earn that sale. That's what makes you different from online. You can actually help them instead of ...

You know that sounds familiar. There has been several stores in the northwest getting hit by people wanting to get 5 torches than sell them off to make some quick bucks and not pay their bill. It's great how people really need to try and scam people to make money. Cmon people we are not gullible senior citizens!

Re: 1620 mAh battery???

in the HTC Vivid forum

So, 1620 is actually not as bad as you think. Most of the old HTC's have 1500 mAh and some newer around 1700. As far as all the phones of the same specs these battery life's are not that horrible as you seem to think. ANY android you will have to do a little battery management that is just known, but with the help of gingerbread less management than before. From playing with this phone and selling to a ...

I just ran one on the evo 3d for our store demo and it was 1920. Granted its not rooted and customized but its daul core 1.2ghz stock just sucks the phones potential down.

in the Shop Talk forum

when everyone comes up to the kiosk looking at our demo phones, they find it necessary to turn on 4G, wifi, GPS and Bluetooth as if it is needed right there and then?? There is no wifi around us, our 4G doesn't penetrate these mall walls, your not on the map so why do you need GPS and are you syncing up your bluetooth to my demo phone?? :lol: Some questions can just not be answered I guess.

I ran it 5 times so far and all around 4000. My lowest was 3972. Is your photon rooted and have a customer rom and kernal? Cause otherwise those things are regulated to only go so far. My evo I just got rid of was only 2300 after loading a custom rom and kernal. But since the nexus isn't bloated with all that crap it seems to run better being pure google.

I was just wondering one thing: Have you rooted your phone? Have you installed a customer rom and kernal? What phone are you using? What are they if you have and what is your highest quadrant score? I know this might be irellavent to people but I am just curious what kind of scores some people are getting. I have a Nexus S 4G with Sprint- Freshly rooted running CM7's latest and the Trinity Kernal. Overclocked to 1.5Ghz I got a quadrant ...

Gotta love people asking for free smartphones when they have been with the company for 2 years or more. I also enjoy a customer who doesnt understand insurance and thinks they get a free replacement right then and there.

apple care $99 no tep. Read that through our Sprint internal site this morning. All repairs are done through apple. Sprint repair centers are not allowed to fix the phones, they will not be shipped any oem parts to fix an iphone issues only apple care can do it!

Suckers We are not allowed to discount the phone or any accessories, so I can't wait till me first customer asking what I will do for them for them to purchase from me. I will tell them well I can't do sh*t because all apple wants is your money and your dumb enough to fall into their over priced trap! Good luck with your new phone.

I can't stand that the news is reporting it and apple and sprint didn't even announce it that early. Only did they announce it yesterday. I had several customers tell me we were getting it and when I told them we are unsure they would pretty much tell me im retarded and they believe everything on the news.

Me: For personal reasons why do you want the iphone? Customer: Because it's universal... Me: Ok... (That answer made no sense and had no backing to it.) Customer: I know you guys are suppose to sell android over the iphone but I want the Iphone. Me: Actually sir, we don't sell the iphone so yes, we sell android over the iphone every day. If you want the iphone that's your choice I am not going to put you into a phone you ...

I hear that! I like this one: "Where is the Mac store?" They could have walked 5 more feet and found out or looked at the directory they passed on there way in. Oh and "Where is T-mobile?" I just say I don't know because I don't care.

I thought this was going to be a lay down and take it deal. Looks like AT&T is trying to work for this one. It seems like their trying to make it sound like it will be good if they offer 25% to where ever but the outcome would result in the same. AT&T's bragging rights while still having horrible customer service and coverage.

So when the customer walks in, I will now be saying "Welcome to Sprint, we have some great car chargers and cases for your new Iphone. How many would you like?" I will just be an order taker. Oh well , at least I have a job.

If the merger goes through, what will happen to all the T-mobile employees? Out of a job. So yes At&t will create new jobs if it goes through, but in the process At&t will get rid of even more T-mobile employee's.

"Sprint will also carry the iPhone 4, starting at the same time, one person familiar with the situation said." - Not Sprint I don't understand this part "Landing the iPhone is a big win for Sprint, whose results have suffered without being able to sell the trend-setting device."

Special part you need to use your Apple phone that will not be universal. I'm not getting it, why would I want to buy another pair of headphones that I can't even use on anything else. I had an Ipod shuffle and all controls were on the wire, so when I broke those headphones I had to spend $35 just for another pair so I could even control Volume and song selection. Pointless.. Well to me, some people will ...
