Wireless Master Agent - Getting Paid!
Are you looking to become a
wireless master agent? With the right motivation and
knowledge, you can succeed! If you haven't already read the
introduction, please visit Mobile
Phone Distributors for a complete background and critical
information. If you have, read on: How do I get paid? There
are different ways a wireless mater agent can get compensated,
which can depend on where in the
chain you are, the size of your business, as well as the policies and
practices of different prepaid wireless providers.
- Phones/Handsets
 - Wholesale
- You'll buy the phone at a discount from the prepaid provider or
someone above you in the distribution chain. This is often
referred
to as a margin model.
- Spiff
- You'll get paid for each phone you activate. Most
relevant
to the store level. Note that sometimes a margin and a spiff
will
apply. Sometimes the spiff can also be shared by different
levels within the chain.
- Airtime/Replenishment
- Similar
to the wholesale model, you'll get a margin for each replenishment
sale. Note that some prepaid providers will pay different
amounts
for different products. For example, you might get paid less
for
ePIN sales than for Real Time Replenishment (RTR) sales.
Airtime
margins are usually shared between the different distribution levels,
and mostly depends on the nature of your relationships.
Want to Sell Online? After
reading about becoming a cell phone distributor, some people will be
excited about the opportunity, and feel that with the right motivation,
you can be successful. However, some people will come to the
conclusion that you don't want to worry about the hassle of dealing
with a brick and mortar business, and the sometimes complex
relationship management and operations that is needed. But
you still want to sell prepaid wireless phones and prepaid wireless
airtime online!
The good news is that you
can actually be an online wireless master agent using only basic
relationships; i.e. no headaches! With no lead time, and no
out-of-pocket cost, you can easily sell online. You'll
basically put affiliate links or banners on your website, and when
people click over and complete a purchase, you'll get paid a
commission. Once your business gets bigger, and you want to invest some
money, you can integrate these services right into your website, so
visitors/customers never leave your site. While there are a
number of options available to you, one that I like because it offers
access to virtually every prepaid provider is PrepaidOnline.
Once you click over, you can signup to become a distributor
or reseller. As I said, there are other options for selling
airtime and handsets. If you're interested in some other
ideas, please feel free to contact
me.
Special Note!
Although I say that selling online is simple and easy,
there's one important thing to keep in mind. That is, that
you need traffic to your site! You can easily signup to be an
online wireless master agent, and even pay extra to have direct
integration into your site, however, if you don't have traffic to your
site, you're not going to sell much! Starting a new site is
like opening a store in the middle of the desert where there are no
roads and no one driving by! In other words, the hard part is
building a website that generates organic traffic from the search
engines (ex. Google, Yahoo!, Bing). That's where all of the
brains and work come in. So, while selling online will
replace the headache of the physical operations that a wireless master
agent has to deal with, those are replaced by new ones of building a
successful online business. To read more about my
story, and the tools I use to build free traffic, please feel
free to visit my About
page.
