Value Proposition Framework

1. Lead with total savings: "$2,400+ over 24 months"

2. Emphasize monthly benefit: "Up to $100 off your bill every month"

3. Highlight simplicity: "No trade-in required—keep your old phone"

• Total value: $3,000+

Overcoming Objections

Objection: "I'm happy with my current carrier"

Response: "I understand loyalty—that's a military value. But let me ask: is your current carrier giving you $2,400 in bill credits just for being a veteran? AT&T is specifically honoring your service with up to $100 per month. That's real money back in your pocket every single month for two years. Can I show you the math?"

Objection: "I don't want to port my number"

Response: "I completely understand—your number is important. The good news is porting is simple and we handle everything for you. It takes about 15 minutes, and your old service stays active until the port completes, so you never lose service. Plus, that port-in is what unlocks your $2,400 in savings. Worth 15 minutes, right?"

Objection: "I need to check with my spouse"

Response: "Absolutely—this is a family decision. Here's what I'll do: let me write down all the details—the $100 monthly credits, the $2,400 total savings, and the qualifying plans. Take this home, run the numbers together, and when you're ready, I'll personally handle your activation. Does that work? And by the way, if your spouse is also military or a dependent, we can get them this deal too."

Objection: "What if I deploy or move?"

Response: "Great question—AT&T understands military life. If you deploy, your service continues working in many locations worldwide. If you PCS (Permanent Change of Station), AT&T has nationwide coverage, so your service moves with you. And if you're deployed to a location without AT&T coverage, they have military-specific policies to help. Let's verify the current terms together."

Objection: "I can't afford a new phone right now"

Response: "That's exactly why this offer is so valuable. With up to $100 in monthly bill credits, your device payment could be $0-$10 per month instead of $50. You're essentially getting a premium smartphone for free or nearly free. Plus, we have $0 down options for qualified customers. Let's see what we can do for you."

Objection: "I heard AT&T coverage isn't good here"

Response: "I appreciate you bringing that up. AT&T has invested billions in 5G+ coverage, especially near military bases. Let me show you the coverage map for your specific area. Plus, AT&T powers FirstNet—the nationwide network built specifically for first responders and military. If it's good enough for emergency services, it's reliable for you. Can I show you the coverage at your home and base?"

Closing Techniques

The Assumptive Close

"So let's get you set up with the AT&T military switcher offer. I'll need your military ID for verification, your account number from your current carrier for the port, and we'll pick out your new device. Which phone were you thinking—iPhone or Samsung?"

The Savings Close

"Let me make sure I have this right: you're going to save $2,400 over the next two years, get a premium smartphone for essentially free, and have better coverage on AT&T's 5G+ network. The only thing you need to do is port your number and verify your military service. Is there any reason we shouldn't get started today?"

The Urgency Close

"This offer just went live November 1st, and it's specifically for military members. I don't know how long AT&T will offer $100 monthly credits—these promotions can change. Let's lock in your $2,400 in savings today while it's available. Sound good?"

The Comparison Close

"Let me show you what you're paying now versus what you'd pay with AT&T. Current carrier: 80 / m o n t h f o r s e r v i c e , 80/monthforservice,50/month for device = 130/month. AT&T with military offer: 55/month for service (with military discount), 50 / m o n t h f o r d e v i c e m i n u s 50/monthfordeviceminus100 credit = 5 / m o n t h t o t a l . T h a t ′ s 5/monthtotal.That′s125 in monthly savings, or $3,000 over two years. When do you want to start saving?"

The Honor Close

"You've served our country, and now AT&T wants to serve you with $2,400 in bill credits. This isn't just a promotion—it's AT&T's way of saying thank you for your service. You've earned this benefit. Let's get you activated today so you can start saving immediately. What do you say?"

Upsell Strategies

Premium Device Upsell

Scenario: Customer considering mid-tier device

Approach: "With the $100 monthly bill credit, the difference between the mid-tier and premium device is only $5-10 per month. For that small difference, you get a much better camera, more storage, and longer battery life. Plus, premium devices hold their value better if you ever want to sell or trade. Worth the upgrade?"

Additional Line Upsell

Scenario: Single line activation

Approach: "Is your spouse or family member also military or a dependent? They can get this same $100 monthly credit offer. Plus, with AT&T's family plan pricing, your per-line cost actually goes down when you add lines. Let's see if we can save your whole family money."

Accessory Upsell

Scenario: Customer activating new device

Approach: "You're saving $2,400 with this military offer—let's protect your investment. I recommend a military-grade case and tempered glass screen protector. Total cost is $60, but it could save you $300 in screen repairs. Plus, we have wireless chargers that make life easier. Can I add those for you?"

Insurance/Protection Upsell

Scenario: Customer concerned about device damage

Approach: "Military life can be tough on phones—deployments, training, kids. AT&T offers device protection for $15/month. If your phone breaks, gets lost, or is stolen, you're covered. Given your lifestyle, it's worth the peace of mind. Should I add that?"

Frequently Asked Questions: AT&T Military Switcher Offer

Eligibility Questions

Q: Can veterans who were dishonorably discharged qualify?

A: Typically, only honorably discharged veterans qualify for military benefits. Verify current AT&T policy for specific discharge status requirements.

Q: Do military spouses qualify if the servicemember is deceased?

A: Gold Star families may qualify for military benefits. Contact AT&T directly to verify eligibility for surviving spouses and dependents.

Q: Can I get this offer if I'm already an AT&T customer?

A: No. This is a switcher offer requiring port-in from another carrier. Existing AT&T customers should ask about upgrade promotions and military plan discounts.

Q: Does National Guard qualify even if not currently activated?

A: Yes. National Guard and Reserve members qualify regardless of activation status, as long as they can provide valid military documentation.

Q: Can I combine this with other AT&T promotions?

A: Promotion stacking varies by offer. The military switcher offer may stack with military plan discounts but typically cannot combine with other device promotions. Verify current terms.

Credit Mechanics Questions

Q: When will I see the first bill credit?

A: Bill credits typically begin within 1-3 billing cycles after activation and military verification. First credit may be retroactive to cover previous months.

Q: What happens if I pay off my device early?

A: Paying off your device early typically forfeits all remaining bill credits. It's usually more cost-effective to keep the installment plan and receive credits.

Q: Can I upgrade to a new device and keep the credits?

A: No. Upgrading to a new device typically ends the current installment agreement and forfeits remaining credits. However, you may qualify for a new promotion at upgrade time.

Q: What if my bill credit amount is less than $100?

A: Credit amount depends on device price and payment term. "Up to $100" means maximum credit; actual amount varies by device. Premium devices receive higher credits.

Q: Do credits apply to my entire bill or just the device payment?

A: Credits typically offset device installment payments specifically, though they appear as bill credits that reduce your total monthly bill.

Technical Questions

Q: How long does number porting take?

A: Most ports complete within 15 minutes to 24 hours. Wireless-to-wireless ports are fastest. Keep your old service active until port completes.

Q: What if my port-in fails?

A: Port-in failure typically disqualifies you from the promotion. Ensure you have correct account number, PIN, and active service before starting. Dealers should verify portability first.

Q: Can I port a landline number?

A: Landline ports typically do not qualify for switcher promotions. The offer requires port-in from another wireless carrier.

Q: Do I need to trade in my old device?

A: No. The AT&T military switcher offer does not require trade-in. You can keep, sell, or recycle your old device.

Q: What if I'm deployed overseas?

A: AT&T offers international roaming and military-specific deployment policies. Discuss your deployment timeline with AT&T to understand coverage and billing options.

Plan and Device Questions

Q: Which unlimited plans qualify?

A: Most AT&T unlimited plans qualify, including Unlimited Premium, Unlimited Extra, and Unlimited Starter. Verify current qualifying plans with AT&T as plan names change.

Q: Can I get this offer with a prepaid plan?

A: No. This offer requires postpaid service with device installment plan. Prepaid plans do not qualify for bill credits.

Q: Which devices qualify for maximum $100 credit?

A: Premium flagship devices (latest iPhone Pro models, Samsung Galaxy S/Z series, Google Pixel Pro) typically receive maximum credits. Mid-tier devices receive proportionally lower credits.

Q: Can I finance accessories with the device?

A: Accessory financing is separate from device installment. Only the smartphone installment qualifies for bill credits.

Military-Specific Questions

Q: What if I'm stationed overseas?

A: You can activate service before deployment or during stateside assignments. AT&T offers international options for overseas military personnel.

Q: Does this work on military bases?

A: Yes. AT&T has extensive coverage on U.S. military bases. AT&T also powers FirstNet, the nationwide network for first responders and military.

Q: What if I PCS (Permanent Change of Station)?

A: AT&T has nationwide coverage, so your service moves with you. Your bill credits continue as long as you maintain qualifying service.

Q: Can I suspend service during deployment?

A: AT&T offers military deployment suspension options. Contact AT&T directly to discuss how deployment affects your bill credits and service.

Q: What documentation do I need for verification?

A: Active duty: Military ID (CAC) or LES. Veterans: DD-214, VA ID, or state veterans ID. Reserve/Guard: Reserve ID or unit documentation.
