California Roll
I work in a retail location that pretty much dies after dark, so when my phone rings I tend to get pretty excited. Well my phone rang, and I went through my whole "Thank you for calling _____, a _____ authorized retailer. How may I help you" and here is what transpired below. Me = Me, and C = Caller
C: I would like to place an order
Me: I am sorry, but we have to have you in the store ...
Let me guess, its not a misson statement, Its a memo!

Kyleigh?
Re: anyone who has this phone please answer
I just bought this phone yesterday, and so far for a semi-entry level phone I love it. I do not get the "Swoosh", but it does have the auto-key lock function which I think is great for a flip phone with side buttons.
Re: CLAIMS REPS UNITE!
You guys are lying, you are not Lockline/ Asurion reps. Everyone knows that they cant read, which would make it awfully dificlut to post! :wink:
Re: driving mode?
It is not in the main settings menu. You have to have the voice command prompt on the screen and use the left soft key for options to get to the feature to turn this off. If you go through the main menu, there is no option to change this setting. I tried for a long time once, and then one of my slaes reps came up and fixed it in a second. Embarrasing
Please let me know if ...
Re: LG 5200
It has been a while since I have seen this, but if I remember correctly, while the voice command menu is showing hit the top left soft key for options, and there should be settings where you can turn of the "activate on flip" mode.
Hope this helps
Re: Memory Card for BBerry 8830
The 8830 DOES take a SIM card. It is a world phone that operates on CDMA in the US, but is also compatible for GSM roaming using a Vodaphone SIM. From what I have been told, the GSM portion is not able to be unlocked, and because Vodaphone is Vzw's parent company you can only use Vodaphone, and pay exorbanant roaming rates.
The one thing that I have not figured out, is where do you get ...
Re: Some more indirect hating
As an indirect manager, what I hate, is every pay period I am fighting for my correct compensation, and my reps correct compensation. In order to motivate sales reps, I still have to act like everything is okay, and that I enjoy working for the company. It is rough when every paycheck is missing something though
Re: Top 11 reasons why indirects blow
I would agree to a point. What you are talking about is some of the agents. I am in management for an inderect, who preaches customer service, professionalism, and honesty. We do everything in our power to keep customers from going to corp. stores, even if it means spending an hour on the phone with customer service to resolve the customers issue. My previous wireless sales positions were in a corp enviroment for a major ...
Re: Celebrity Sales?
You must be in the same city as me. I sold a Treo to Yuniesky Betancourt, not a huge celebrity, but a very nice guy. Even though the transaction was done through his translator ( He did not speak a lick of english), He made a point of coming back to my desk and saying thanks in english, even though he was not part of the majority of the conversation.
This was about a year ago, and ...
Re: O.O
What does polarized lenses do to Phones? I have been in the industry for a few years, but live in the rainy city. We don't get a lot of sunglass wearers up here.
Rant: This is America isn't it?
I am in a retail store, and just took a phone call, after I went into my whole thank you for calling speal, the guy on the other line just said "Yes". After about 5 seconds, I said "What can I help you with?", to which he replied "Yes". After this went on about 5 more times he replied "No speak english", I asked " Does someone with you speak english?" He said "Speaka Spanish". I ...
Re: Test your PDA/Phone speed so far Verizon is the winner.
My Nokia E62 was rated at 420.03 kbps
Storage was 51
And 1 MB file was 20 seconds
Overall, not too bad considering it is EDGE
Re: Question for indirects
I think "Neuter" is too nice of a word to describe the systems that we use. I used to work for Cingular Corp. Now I work for a VZW indirect. VZW Ripped the testicles out of the system soooo fast that it pulled the spine, intestens, and the splein out with it!
Re: customer names
I have had a gentleman named Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed, and a lady named Pippi Pippi.
The best though was a prepaid customer with the last name, everybodytalksabout. I thought he was making it up, so I verified ID, and it was legit.
A couple months later on the news there was a car crash, where a teenage driver was drunk, and killed someone. The teenagers last name was Everybodytalksabout. I have to assume it was my customers ...
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
same thing, but use the up arrow
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
thats how we would do it. just substitute the delete for right, left, or down arrow.
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
The way I found out is, I used to work in an office where we were supposed to lock our computers any time we left our desk. There was one guy who would sneek into someones cube if they did not lock their computer and do that trick. The first time it happend to me, he did it and left for a meeting. I was trying to work with the screen flipped for a couple hours ...
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
Try it on other computers, most PC's will do it, but it seems that the funcionality has been removed on your call center computers. It does work on the computers in the store I work in.
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
XP
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
It should also work with the down arrow, and flip the screen upside down, the best part is that the mouse reacts as the screen looks
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
Well, maybe it doesnt work on he computers in your call center, but normally it should flip the screen sideways
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
are you holding down all 3 buttons at the same time?
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
are you using a laptop? for some reason it only works on PC's
Re: Great trick to play on coworkers
Did you try it?
Great trick to play on coworkers
Hold down "CTRL", "alt", and the right arrow key at the same time
Re: how 'bout this (rant)
I used to sell cars, and my boss would tell me that you were not doing your job if you did not have an occasional customer get pissed off and blow out of the finance office after you closed them. That meant that you were actually selling them, and not taking thier order.
I beleive that with cell phones, you are not doing your job as a sales person if you do not have a couple ...

Sorry had to bite my tounge
With the exception of the pearl, what other blackberries have you seen with a camera for any carrier? It is not a Verizon thing, its a RIM thing.
Re: David Beckham
Indirect Vzw "Premium" :wink:
Re: David Beckham
When I used to work for Cingular, we had a Ryan Seacrest cut out. We would place that thing everywhere to scare each other. It was hilarious!
David Beckham
Did anyone else get a life size display of David Beckham today?
I put mine in the bathroom, right inside the door. so that when my sales reps get here it will scare the crap out of them
Re: PLEASE
What I dont understand is, how does a customer forget to mention that they changed the sim card back to their old one?
Would you go in to a TV store and tell them that your Tv will not turn on, and leave out the fact that you swapped the ECU?
I can understand them not understanding that switching to an old sim card will not work, but come on! Maybe provid a little info as to not ...
Re: radio shack
I love it! It always means feature sales. The difference between me and most radio shack employees is that I am not an order taker.
Re: Divorce & Wireless Service
What I hate is when you have the bitter ex-wife come into the store. I nicely explain that, in order to separate the account, you have to have your husband call in and release interest in the line. I don't know how many times I have gotten the response " I am not talking to that A#$hole for this"
It is not my fault you/he Cheated, stole, or lied to eachother. At what point did it become ...
Re: Dear internet and telesales.
Wow, a true salesperson would appreciate the fact that telesales sent them in to the store. It gives you a chance to sell them accessories. How many times does the customer decline accessories over the phone, but comes in to buy a car charger, leather case or a blue-tooth headset? This just gives you an extra opportunity.
Also, very rarely does telesales actually correctly provision an account, thus setting the sales rep up for feature sales! ...
Re: Mississippi
First of all, it was a joke about the last state to ratify the ammendment abolishing slavery. Those racist pricks would not ratify it untill 1992!
Second, I hope you are not in a customer facing position with any wireless company ( Unless its one of my compettitors) because, obviously your skin is not thick enough!
Third, I live in the PNW, but spent 2 years in southern Missouri, which if you are not a geography buff is directly north of ...
Re: Apple iphone and MS Exchange
I think it will depend on the version of Exchange you are using.
I bought an E62 back in September with the intent to set up email over the Exchange server. I think that someone was conspiring against me, because 1 or 2 days after the return period, my work converted to Exchange server 2007, which only allows Windows based devices. I know it was supported for Exchange server 2003, but had not had the chance ...

I heard that once inbreeding stops, and people can pass the 3rd grade in Mississippi they will build out the network
You are mistaken. If you look at the above quote, in which you state that I mispelled inbreeding, it is actually correct. I must give you credit though, I went back and ran a spell check on it just to make sure that I wasn't talking out of my arss.
