I get $1300 a month base salary pay paid to me on the 8th and the 23rd every month.

My commission is paid to me on the 23rd which is approx $600-$1200 for phones and I get 15% of my accessories sales paid to me on the 8th and flat rates for data add-ons.

I guess I get around $2000-$2500 a month.

My bad months I make 6 grand. A good month can be up to 7800. (That's my highest.)

I manage a Verizon indirect.

If you don't believe me, leave me a fax number, and I'll shoot you my payroll report.

Hate all you want. I got 4 years in this, and I'm the coldest closer alive. Just yesterday I closed a 97 year old man in a wheelchair that could barely even talk. Got him set up for 39.99 a month.

That's because your a choch.

And you wonder why Corporate stores dislike In-Directs so much.

You flaunt your money on here and claim to be the "Coldest Closer Alive".

Honestly, if you were that good, you wouldn't be managing an In-Direct Verizon dealer. You would be working for a Fortune 500 company selling Business to Business solutions. Er, wait, then you wouldn't be able to take advantsge of eldery people and the weak.

It doesn't show much for you and your ability to coach and develop your reps if you're the one that has to close the sales. What kind of managing is that?

all that coming from someone who works for tmobile. in my area, they are threatening to fire sales reps for not selling $20 in accessories per kit. i dont work for t-mobile but i used to manage one of their corporate stores. i now work for an idirect dealer as a manager and make way more money. maybe that guy is a chooch, but working for corporate doesn't instanly raise your paycheck or selling skills at all. some of the worst sales people i've ever encountered worked at corporate stores. dont bash indirects my friend, in t-mobiles world, they sell too many phones for you guys to not have them.

I'm with you. I work for Cellular Sales, VZW's largest, and we produce more (ethical) sales than almost any other corporate or VZW retail stores per rep. It is straight commish, but it is very rewarding. There are always those chumps who hustle and lie, but you cannot avoid that. I am proud to work for an ethical company who provides a truly superior service for my customers. While we're on the money subject, my average pay check is between 3500 and 4800. Nearly every months SOMEONE in our company (300+ stores I think??) makes 10 grand. 10 freaking grand. Hasn't been my turn just yet, but I've knocked on 5 large several times, and we're in a newer market.

The object of every one of our reps however is to make sales ethically, and provide ...
