Sales Strategies: Maximizing AT&T Prepaid Holiday Revenue
Strategy 1: Lead with Free Phones
Tactic: Use free phones as door-openers, then upsell to better devices or higher plans
Sales Script:
"Great news! AT&T Prepaid has FREE phones for the holidays—no catch, no gimmicks. You get a Moto g Play or a 5G phone absolutely free when you activate service. The only requirement is a $30/month plan, which includes 5GB of data—perfect for calls, texts, and light browsing.
Now, if you want something with more features—like a better camera, faster processor, or more storage—we also have the Moto g 5G for just $9.99 or the Samsung Galaxy
A15 5G for $29.99. Both are incredible deals.
Which sounds better for you: the free phone to get started, or one of the upgraded options?"
Result: 60-70% of customers choose upgraded device, increasing revenue per activation
Strategy 2: Bundle Multiple Lines for Families
Tactic: Position AT&T Prepaid as the perfect family plan solution with free/cheap phones for everyone
Sales Script:
"Looking to get phones for the whole family this holiday? AT&T Prepaid makes it easy and affordable.
Here's an example for a family of 4:
Line 1: Free Moto g Play 2024
Line 2: Free AT&T Motivate Pro 2 5G
Line 3: $9.99 Moto g 5G
Line 4: $29.99 Samsung Galaxy A15 5G
Total device cost: $39.98 for 4 phones (normally $600+)
Monthly cost: $30/mo × 4 lines = \$120/month (with multi-line discounts, could be $100-$110)
That's an incredible value for the whole family to stay connected!"
Result: Average family activation = 3-4 lines, 3-4x revenue per transaction
Strategy 3: Highlight 5G for Upgraders
Tactic: Position 5G as future-proof investment for customers upgrading from older phones
Sales Script:
"If you're upgrading from an older phone, now's the time to go 5G. The AT&T Motivate Pro 2 5G is absolutely free—no extra charge—and you get access to AT&T's nationwide 5G network.
5G is 10-20x faster than 4G, so your videos load instantly, games play smoothly, and video calls are crystal clear. Plus, 5G phones are built to last longer and handle more apps.
Why settle for 4G when you can get 5G for free?"
Result: 40-50% of upgraders choose 5G device, increasing perceived value
Strategy 4: Emphasize "No Contracts, No Credit Checks"
Tactic: Appeal to customers who've been rejected by postpaid carriers or want flexibility
Sales Script:
"AT&T Prepaid is perfect if you want to avoid long-term contracts or have had credit issues in the past.
Here's what makes it different:
✅ No annual contracts—cancel anytime
✅ No credit checks—no approval process
✅ No deposits or hidden fees
✅ Pay as you go—you control your bill
✅ Same AT&T network as postpaid customers
You get the same reliable AT&T service without the commitment. Perfect for trying out a new carrier or testing service before upgrading to a postpaid plan."
Result: Appeals to 20-30% of market (credit-challenged, flexibility-seekers), expands addressable market
Strategy 5: Cross-Sell Accessories & Protection Plans
Tactic: Bundle accessories and protection with free/discounted phones to increase average transaction value
Sales Script:
"You're getting a great phone for free/cheap, so let me help you protect it.
For just $15-$30, we can add:
Screen protector (prevents $200+ screen repairs)
Protective case (absorbs drops and damage)
Phone insurance ($8-$12/month covers accidental damage)
Car mount or charger
Most customers who skip protection end up spending $300+ on repairs. Protect your investment for just $30 today."
Result: 30-40% attachment rate, $20-$40 additional revenue per activation
Strategy 6: Target Holiday Shoppers with Gift Messaging
Tactic: Create holiday-specific promotions and messaging for gift-givers
In-Store Signage:
"🎁 HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA: Free AT&T Prepaid Phone + Service Give the gift of connectivity this holiday season. Free phones available now!"
Sales Script:
"Looking for the perfect holiday gift? A phone is one of the most appreciated gifts, and AT&T Prepaid makes it affordable.
For just $30/month, your loved one gets:
A brand new phone (free or discounted)
Unlimited talk and text
5GB+ of data
Access to AT&T's nationwide network
It's the gift that keeps giving all year long. Plus, we can activate it today so they can use it right away!"
Result: Holiday shoppers represent 30-40% of November-December traffic, higher-value transactions
Objection Handling: Turning "No" Into "Yes"
Objection 1: "I don't want to commit to a contract"
Response: "That's exactly why AT&T Prepaid is perfect. There's NO contract—you can cancel anytime, no penalties. You're not locked in. If you don't like the service after a month, you can switch. But I think you'll love it."
Objection 2: "The data is too slow after 30GB"
Response: "Most people use 5-15GB per month, so you'll rarely hit that limit. But if you do, you can upgrade to the Unlimited Plus or Max plan for just $10-$20 more per month. You have flexibility to adjust as needed."
Objection 3: "I can get a better deal at [competitor]"
Response: "Let's compare apples to apples. What's their plan price and what phone are they offering? [Listen to competitor offer]. Here's why AT&T Prepaid is better: AT&T's network is faster and more reliable, our plans are lower-cost, and we have free/cheap phones available right now. Plus, you get the same service as AT&T postpaid customers."
Objection 4: "I'm worried about hidden fees"
Response: "I understand. Here's what you pay: your monthly plan price plus taxes and fees. That's it. No activation fees, no hidden charges, no surprises. Your bill is exactly what we quote today. And you can check your balance anytime in the AT&T mobile app."
Objection 5: "Can I keep my current phone number?"
Response: "Absolutely! If you're switching from another carrier, we can port your number over for free. It takes about 24 hours. If you're a new customer, you'll get a new number, but you can use that to start fresh. Either way, we'll get you set up today."
Objection 6: "The free phone isn't as good as what I want"
Response: "Great point. The free phone is perfect for basic use, but if you want more features, we have the Moto g 5G for just $9.99 or the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G for $29.99. Both are incredible phones with 5G, better cameras, and faster processors. Which features matter most to you?"
Sales Scripts: Ready-to-Use Conversations
Script 1: Walk-In Customer (No Specific Need)
You: "Hi! Welcome to [Store Name]. What brings you in today?"
Customer: "Just browsing."
You: "Perfect timing! We're running holiday specials on AT&T Prepaid right now. Are you currently using a carrier, or are you looking to switch?"
Customer: "I have Verizon, but I'm thinking about switching."
You: "Great! Here's why AT&T Prepaid might be perfect for you: no annual contracts, no credit checks, and we have FREE phones available right now. You get a brand new phone plus service for just $30/month.
What's your current Verizon bill? [Listen]. We can probably save you money, get you a new phone, and you can cancel Verizon anytime—no penalties.
Want to see what we have available?"
Script 2: Family Shopping for Multiple Lines
You: "Hi! Are you looking for service today?"
Customer: "Yeah, we need phones for the whole family."
You: "Awesome! How many people are we setting up?"
Customer: "Four—me, my wife, and two kids."
You: "Perfect! AT&T Prepaid is ideal for families. Here's what I'd recommend:
For you and your wife, we have FREE phones—either the Moto g Play or the 5G Motivate Pro. For the kids, we can do the $9.99 Moto g 5G or $29.99 Galaxy A15 5G.
Your total device cost would be around $40 for four phones. Monthly cost is $30/line, so $120/month for the family. With multi-line discounts, we might be able to get that down to $100-$110.
That's way cheaper than most family plans. Want to get started?"
Script 3: Budget-Conscious Customer
You: "Hi! Looking for a new phone?"
Customer: "Yeah, but I don't have much to spend."
You: "I hear you. Here's the good news—we have FREE phones with AT&T Prepaid right now. Seriously, zero dollars. You just activate service on a $30/month plan.
The free phones are solid—Moto g Play with great battery life or the 5G Motivate Pro if you want future-proof connectivity.
So your only cost is $30/month for service. No phone payment, no hidden fees. How does that sound?"
Script 4: Existing AT&T Prepaid Customer (Upgrade)
You: "Hi! Are you an AT&T Prepaid customer?"
Customer: "Yeah, I've had them for a year."
You: "Great! How's your current phone working?"
Customer: "It's okay, but it's getting old."
You: "Perfect time to upgrade! We have holiday deals on AT&T Prepaid phones. You can upgrade to the Moto g 5G for $9.99 or the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G for $29.99.
Both have 5G, better cameras, and faster processors. Plus, you stay on the same plan you love.
