Sprint Corporate Discounts



Fun Fact of the Day: Nextel Communications only gets a 5% discount thru Sprint.



Sprint Corporate Discounts
http://sprint-discount.com/indirect/

This is a great tool for any sales rep, It enables you to find out just how much, if any of a discount you’re customer is eligible to receive.

I have put together a list of 180 different transportation companies, many of witch most IC reps deal with on a daily basis and whom get at least a 5% discount.

This list is in excel format.

Tips:

Discounts cannot be applied to promotional monthly rates

For example the $59.99 Unlimited Data Connection Plan for Mobile Broadband Cards and USB Modems

Or the $39.99 Unlimited Data for Phone as Modem Plan.

Other things to watch out for.

If the corporate discount is not added the day of activation adding it later could change the customers billing period, This isn’t such a big deal is long as your customer doesn’t have a spending limit. But when a customer dose have a spending limit changing the billing period could reek havoc, due to the prorated charges. Encountered from adding a corporate discount in the middle of a billing period.
I have also put together a cheat sheet for discount prices on the Power Pack plans. With 5% discount increments

    Script Error with Pantach PX500

    Thanks to Shawn Peters!

    Occasionally, when installing the Pantech PX500 you will get an error message "ISScript.exe is missing or not found" and the software will not allow and installation. There is an easy solution to this, but it requires an internet connection to download what you need. For this process you will not use the CD that comes with the product at all.

    go to http://sprint.com/downloads
    select the operating system (ex: Windows XP)
    then select the first instance of the Pantech PX500 you see, should be the 2nd or 3rd selection available.
    Be sure that when you download this file it is saved to the desktop!
    Once this is done open the file on the desktop.
    Open the setup folder inside it.
    Run the ISScript setup/install first then the Pantech Setup/install

    Now you are done!
