This would be why I hate calling CS about this sort of stuff.

I only put the customer on the line with CS if it's absolutley nessacary. If it shows up they have an old plan, I will try to keep it for them, but if it's rediculously old, I will tell them they have no other option. Because, as far as I'm concerned, the lower plans that CS offers people do not exist.

I'm able to offer the 300 minute plan and I'm an agent. I wonder why you wouldn't be able to.

Here's what you should've done. Sign her up on the lowest plan you can. Then call CS and have them change the plan to the 300.

I had a similar issue yesterday with a customer:

A girl came into my store with a phone she bought at our kiosk. The rep at the kiosk told her that Sprint would work where she lives. It doesn't. She's been back to the mall (an hour and a half drive for her) FOUR TIMES trying to return the phone and get a Nextel phone that WILL work. The rep has told her every time that their "systems are down" (meanwhile, her 14-day return period lapses). The last time she went in, she was on the phone with CS and the woman was telling her that she could do the Sprint to Nextel port for her, and she'd just have to go exchange the phone. She walked up to the kiosk still on the phone with CS, and told the rep she wanted to exchange, and that CS would take c...

the thing that made me mad is that the cs rep just took it...i told her that i could give her the lowest plan i had which she accepted, she called customer service to ask about insurance on her old phone...i heard her ask...the cs rep couldnt find the info either and, knowing she was at a kiosk, proceed to sell her, getting the sal because he was able to offer the plan she wanted...i told her that i could get it switched for her but she would have to sign this one today....the rep even asked me for the esn on the phoen she was gonna get from me so she could ahve it today...i told him no! not only was that a prick move, but i cant sell phones without contracts...hes like, why/. im like cuz you took my sale and i cant do it! so when she got ...

Call you indirect agent. If the cs rep stole it from you they can put in a commission adjustment. That way you still get paid for the sale, and the cs rep did all the work.
