Gee, questions about me and vzw; maybe I have to pay dues to be in this
group (hah)
1) avg per door volume in our area was 30, we were higher than that
2) No warnings, no complaints, nothing
3) If we were Under quota, our contract provides for a 90 day action plan
4) The contract itself provides for 30 day notice if they are going to
terminate/not-renew
The fine print of the contract says that they don't have to provide me a
reason. I've said the same things twice, that's it. What else? Well, we
do share our experiences on the internet; we have coined the word wireMORE,
because anybody can give you wireLESS.
Other factors? Well, we were one of the smallest agents in the area; VZW
had give up three corporate locations and "given" them to the largest area
agent (given might not be fair, we will call it negotiated); and when people
have "trouble" with their service, or have been to every other place with no
resolution, they make their way to us, and we help em.
Who do we help: the little old lady who has USCellular, but didn't
understand what she was doing; the parent with a child on medication who
abused their Sprint service and got a big bill; the person who didn't
realize that when they changed their minutes (worry free) that it triggered
a new 2 yr contract.
We are under the impression that the American public has gotten used to
mediocrity. What makes us different? Easy enough: we don't think your
necessarily entitled to MORE, but you certaintly shouldn't get LESS.
Therefore, we try and give a full measure of service to people.
Thought about leaving our official web site, but we are not peddling to this
group, just trying to move on from a less than thrilling departure from VZW.
If you send me mail; I'll try and answer any VZW questions; but for this
post, I think most if not all will be tired of any vzw discussion. Me too.
