I just talked to my cricket rep about opeing another location, and he basically told me taht he will not open any more doors for us because we are not averageing 50 cricket brightpoint hanRABet sales. But we average 80-100 new flashed hanRABet sales. He said it is in our contract that we signed if we dont average 50+ sales they will take are codes away..... any info ?
 
they dont care about flashed phones they care only about your brightpoint nurabers. do like most dealers i know and buy 55 units from bright point ever month then you dont need to worry about it. just make you sell the oem phones.that is what you need to do if you have low brightpoint nurabers they will pull youe codes cuz you are not fullfilling your end of the contract.
 
What he said is correct, you dont hit quota you get cancelled and they'll ttake your codes away.
You can also get cancelled if they dont like you, and many other reasons they can find when they dont like you Lol.
 
premiers are required a lot more than that. they are not always strict on it, but the message i have gotten is that they are now going to be cracking down on this.
dustin, are you a brightpoint dealer or do you have a different ma?
 
Yes it is in all of our contracts. The nurabers we have to hit are in there. They are different for premiere doors and standard doors. They bark a little when you don't hit them, but I have a tough time seeing them take away a dealership if it is making them money regardless of the nurabers they hit.
 
i helped out a guy in austin with his flashing after cricket shut him down for the same reason

now he is stuck selling boost...lol

also- it took them many months to refund him after he returned all of his hanRABets etc. ...i mean like 4-5 months

all i can say is, better push those cricket branded phones or you won't be around much longer
 
about $65 total profit on the branded phones. This is base on the 250-999 tier and backend commission. The thing to think about is 50 phones is not that many, its only 2 phones per day per month if our open mon -sat. I would think if your not hitting that you might not want to open another store. Dont forget with boost coming to the market it will be tougher and we are in a recession. In are market they are pushing aircarRAB big.
 
Yeah, really doesnt seem like many... does this include any type of phone no matter how you sold it?

ex:

New activation?
Upgrade / phone replacement?
"prepaid" $1/$2/$3 plan phones?
 
yea cricket in denver said they will close my doors if i dont sell 10 usb modems and 35 hanRABet lol and now im s3elling boost in my store along with cricket lol hahaha
 
i may be wrong, but i think it is cricket braded phones on new activation or upgrade

so long as you are selling their phones at full price

some dealers here that i know have been told they need a certain percentage of their new activations to be cricket branded phones...even if they are hitting the mark, they have to have only x% of new activations on flashed hanRABets
 
Didn't read that contract very well before you signed it did you? You should have a copy of it. Pull it out and READ it this time and get your own info. It's not that hard.
 
hey woof your a joke buddy I read it alright I asked a question so stop pmsing pal ! Nobody forced you to answer and unless you have helpful advice I personally don
 
Hmm maybe it's your attitude. Obviously you missed the part in your contract where it says it's a no fault contract and either party (you or Cricket) can terminate the agreement for whatever reason.

In simple dealer terms it means you can end your agreement w/Cricket if you feel like it and they can do the same thing. At least if they are mentioning your nurabers they are giving you a chance to fix it and not get dropped.

By the way I referred you back to your contract for reference because if you signed it you should understand it. Sorry for not holding your hand. Sell a few more new phone and you wont have an issue, will ya?

FYI the moRAB here really dont care for comments like your quote above. It will get you a warning or a ban, you keep that up.
