Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

Retail Mgmt is trying to reinvent the wheel in regard to the iPhone duo flip phone that retails at$2000+ launch in October (23).they are telling the reps to get 3 leads A DAY for this phones launch. In our store, if this was achieved we would have 600 people waiting outside the store on launch date? I doubt our store will get 600 duos to sell. I'll try my best to achieve this goal and will stay optimistic on Mgmt's goals.At this time of year its very slow in the store. I'm sorry to say this is an example of people that haven't worked in a store or the frontline in years and being out of touch in what's really happening in the stores.All they see are spreadsheets and how they can produce a scorecard thats beyond realistic and negative to the frontline.

Cr-ppy marketing campaign from the genius marketing team at 140. How many RIFs paid for that pile of garbage?

launching something that expensive when the economy is in the cr-pper is never a good move. But this is in apple, not Verizon. They keep moving to premium and new products every year instead of finding more ways to help people keep what they have longer during tough times.

Apple has not been innovative for years......and all those thinking they are getting the duo. Good luck on financing!

Stop Complaining

apple is now doing 3 separate events. most people want the base 18s which won’t drop till next spring. The real excitement will be around the duo. invariably this launch was going to be less successful because of the above mentioned. And yes, the upgrades from last year to this years pro models are minimal

2026, its just a phone. Spend money on a vacation. Even Apple nuts know the new phone is the same. Its not going to change your life or even your day.

There hasn’t been a real upgrade difference since the 13pro. Battery life and standard storage can only take you so far. The same thing happened with flat screen tvs
