Cingular backing down on Indirects? .....

Heard today that maybe Cingular wasn't going to eliminate all the non exclusive indirect on NOV 1st after all. Apparently they didn't get as many willing to be an exclusive agent. So they have pushed the date back to December 1 already and I wonder if they will forget about doing it all together. My opinion they will wait until after the holday selling season to make the move

anybody heard anything about this ?

get rid of best buy and amazon. i careless about the agents.

close some agents down if its overcrowded, but thats all.

I say close down the agents that are scamming people. I work for an honest agent. We've been selling Cingular since the days prior to snet wireless.

Well there's no one who would be happier to see more indirects go out quickly, but don't forget that cingular has to make way for it's newest addition in January "Radioshack".

I am with you Alfred... Best Buy and online are all of our enemies....

Yeah, and they decide this after ****ing me over for being a sub agent. An Exclusive sub agent at that, that had been doing cellular for over ten years with cingular/cellular one.

If those idiots up top in cingular want to lower churn then what they need to do is get rid of these low budget agents that give everything away and cause people to cancel and resign contracts just to get the discounts again. Cingular is doing itself in the butt here i think.

When I worked for GTEW and VZ, Radio Shack was the biggest nightmare, and the biggest source of misinformation at POS.. Hopefully with Cingular, they'll get some better training than they got in the past.

We can only hope. There have been agent nightmares all over the place. I'm not gonna name any names but I know of one particular agent that I was glad to see go away. It's hard enough compteting with our own website, not to mention the indirects.

amazon, letstalk and wirefly are the worst. there is a lot of illegal door around also. those are what hurt our sales also.
