The numbers don’t lie. Combined new phone adds and pull through the indirect stores crushed it. How is Verizon ok with the corporate stores just clerking stuff and just getting by ? Things will never get better with current pay plan. It was a nice try but a proven failed experiment.

Half of the sales that RETAIL does are being done using My Verizon. What do you expect? Obviously a channel with 3x the stores will do more.
Thats because We Simply Don't F@%!NG Care!!! They don't wanna pay for upgrades!! Tablets, smart watches, and Jetpack don't count as new lines!! Our Quotas are just as high, and we don't have equipment to sell!!!
Indirect stores ar won’t better for customers. If you believe that you know nothing. All they do is slam garbage to unsuspecting people.
It's the dam surveys. No one is going to try hard sell anything when the main source of achievable pay out is getting good surveys. Get rid of RIS
@gdf+1e2NtPs5 No. There is a formula based on the number of transactions per store. Obviously indirect will always sell more because they account for two thirds of all locations but the direct locations are clearly not making the most of their transactions.
So the channel with 3x more doors got 2x more sales?
More locations are being moved to indirect ownership and operations. If your area doesn't perform, maybe Unibox or Victra will do better (and they usually do). All these sales people on here whining that they will do the bare minimum are setting themselves up for this. It is better for big Red and the customers. I would betcha in the next few years most corporate stores will be sold.
Is Amazon indirect? That is where I go. Only old boomers go into stores.
The difference between what indirect and direct did is the cost of moving to the new commission strcuture. It shouldn't take a genius to come up with an approximation of that number and compare it with what they are saving in commissions. My guess is that no one in leadership actually wants this number because then they would have to admit they were wrong.
If the strategy is to go full Indirect then the number doesn't matter, of course. But the number they could look at was what direct stores were pumping out v. Indirect before the change.
That's where you're confused. They want the indirects to crush it and pay us corporate as little as possible to train the customer base to use online. The more profitable indirect are the higher they can charge to sell it to a franchise and focus elsewhere.
