The big six indirect retail locations still have INDIVIDUALIZED commission structures. The customer will always have a different experience in those stores. I wonder if Verizon is putting pressure on those locations to change to the team thing?

My new boss came from indirect at the DM level basically which is like 60 stores.. he said they moved to an STI structure quarterly last year around when we were changing... I don't know who the company wasthough
If course they have to comply with certain practices. I meant they can do whatever they want with their comp structure for sales staff.
@hvy+193DKONx Yea they will be Express locations and maybe a few Experience locations in major cities.
@awg+193DKONx “Indirect are seperate companies and can do whatever they want”
First off that statement is not entirely true and secondly ”2.0” and the whole one team message is lost rather quickly if Verizon doesn’t enforce the message with the resellers. The resellers have contracts with Verizon and although they are able to set different prices on phones and pay employees differently they have to adhere to some strict company guidelines. I have seen chain style reseller operations have their contract terminated by Verizon and totally put out if business.
Indirect are seperate companies and can do whatever they want. How are indirects health insurance and 401k matches.
The fact of the matter is verizon can't be spending 100k to 130k in retail workers. The wireless boom lasted 10 years and the boom time is over, now it's going to be more like working for a utility company.
Well that's just wrong. They will always have stores
I'm sure Verizon will make alignment 100% by migrating remaining corporate stores to indirect.
if it's more profitable for the retailers, they will ditch commission.
The team commission in corporate retail was done to do 1 thing - k–l Corp stores
On one circumstance, there is no corporate footprint left.
