Key Competitive Insights

  • Mint's promo price ($15/mo) is unbeatable – No major carrier comes close during the 3-month promotional period

  • Mint's regular price ($30/mo) is competitive but not the cheapest – Boost Mobile and Visible offer $25/month unlimited year-round

  • 3-month prepay requirement is a barrier – Most competitors offer monthly payment options

  • T-Mobile network is a strength – Same network as Metro, better than AT&T-based Cricket in most markets

  • 40GB priority data is solid – More than Metro (35GB), less than some competitors


Target Customer Profiles

1. Price-Conscious Switchers

Pain point: Paying $50-$80/month for unlimited on Metro, Cricket, or postpaid carriers


Your pitch: "You're paying $50/month for Metro's unlimited plan. What if I could get you the SAME T-Mobile network, unlimited data, and save you $35/month? Mint Mobile is running a promotion: $15/month for unlimited—that's 70% cheaper than Metro. You prepay for 3 months ($45 total) and you're done. That's $105 in savings over 3 months. After that, it's $30/month, which is still $20 cheaper than Metro. Want to switch?"


2. Budget-Conscious Students

Pain point: Limited income, need reliable service, can't afford $50+/month plans


Your pitch: "As a student, every dollar counts. Mint Mobile's unlimited plan is just $15/month for your first 3 months—that's $45 total. You get unlimited data on T-Mobile's 5G network, free calling to Mexico and Canada, and 10GB hotspot for studying. After 3 months, it's $30/month, which is still way cheaper than most carriers. For $45, you get 3 months of service. Can you afford NOT to switch?"


3. Trial Users / Carrier Testers

Pain point: Want to try T-Mobile network without committing long-term


Your pitch: "Not sure if T-Mobile's network works well in your area? Mint Mobile runs on T-Mobile's network, and right now you can try it for just $45 for 3 months. That's $15/month—less than a couple of coffees. Test the network, see if it works for you. If you love it, great—you're saving money. If not, you're only out $45 and you can switch after 3 months. It's the cheapest way to test T-Mobile's network. Want to give it a shot?"


4. Secondary Line / Backup Phone Users

Pain point: Need a second line for work, travel, or backup but don't want to pay full price


Your pitch: "Need a second line for work calls, or a backup phone? Mint Mobile's $15/month unlimited plan is perfect for that. You get a full unlimited line on T-Mobile's network for less than most people pay for Netflix. Prepay $45 for 3 months and you're set. After that, it's $30/month—still super affordable. Why pay $50+ for a second line when you can get Mint for $15?"


5. International Callers (Mexico/Canada)

Pain point: Need to call Mexico or Canada frequently, paying extra for international features


Your pitch: "Do you call Mexico or Canada regularly? Mint Mobile's unlimited plan includes FREE calling to Mexico and Canada—no extra charges. Plus, you get unlimited texting to 160+ countries. And right now, it's just $15/month for 3 months. You're getting unlimited data, free international calling, and huge savings. If you call Mexico or Canada even once a week, this plan pays for itself. Want to switch?"


6. Light Data Users Upgrading

Pain point: Currently on 5GB or 10GB plan, occasionally running out of data


Your pitch: "You're on a 5GB plan for $15/month, right? Well, Mint Mobile's unlimited plan is the SAME PRICE right now—$15/month. Why limit yourself to 5GB when you can get unlimited for the same cost? You get 40GB of high-speed data, then unlimited at slower speeds, plus 10GB hotspot. It's a no-brainer: same price, way more data. Let's upgrade you to unlimited."


Sales Scripts: Converting Customers to Mint Mobile

Script 1: The Opening Pitch

You: "Hey! Are you looking to save money on your phone bill? Mint Mobile just dropped their unlimited plan to $15/month—that's half price. Have you heard about this?"


Customer: "No, what's the catch?"


You: "No catch! Here's how it works: Mint Mobile runs on T-Mobile's 5G network—same network as Metro by T-Mobile. They're running a promotion where new customers get unlimited data for $15/month for the first 3 months. You prepay $45 upfront for 3 months, and you're done.


You get unlimited talk, text, and data, 40GB of high-speed data, 10GB mobile hotspot, free calling to Mexico and Canada, and unlimited texting to 160+ countries.


After 3 months, the price goes to $30/month, which is still cheaper than most carriers. But for your first 3 months, you're paying just $15/month. What carrier are you with now?"


Script 2: The Value Breakdown

Customer: "I'm on Metro paying $50/month."


You: "Okay, so you're paying $50/month on Metro. Let me show you the savings with Mint


Mobile:


Metro: $50/month × 3 months = $150 Mint Mobile (promo): $15/month × 3 months = $45

You save $105 in the first 3 months. That's 70% savings!


And here's the thing: both Metro and Mint run on T-Mobile's network. Same coverage, same 5G, same quality. The only difference is Mint is way cheaper.


After 3 months, Mint goes to $30/month. You're still saving $20/month compared to Metro. Over a year, that's \$240 in savings.


So in your first year with Mint, you save: • First 3 months: $105 savings • Next 9 months: $180 savings ($20/mo × 9) • Total first-year savings: $285


Same network, same service, $285 more in your pocket. Does that sound good?"


Customer: "Yeah, that's a lot of savings."


You: "Exactly! And this is a limited-time promo, so if you've been thinking about switching, now is the time. Want to get started?"


Script 3: Handling the Prepay Objection

Customer: "I don't want to prepay for 3 months. What if I don't like it?"


You: "I totally understand—nobody wants to commit to something they're not sure about. But here's why the 3-month prepay actually works in your favor:


1. It's only $45 total. That's less than one month of service on most carriers. You're risking $45 to potentially save hundreds of dollars per year.


2. Mint runs on T-Mobile's network. If you have good T-Mobile or Metro coverage in your area, Mint will work exactly the same. Let me check the coverage map for your address.

[Show coverage map]

See? Full 5G coverage where you live and work. You're going to have great service.


3. After 3 months, you're not locked in. If you don't like it, you can switch to another carrier. No contracts, no penalties. But I'm confident you'll love it because you're getting the same T-Mobile network at a fraction of the cost.


4. Think of it as a trial period. For $45, you get to test Mint Mobile for 3 months. That's the cheapest way to try T-Mobile's network without committing long-term.


Most people who switch to Mint love it and stay because they're saving so much money. Want to give it a try?"


Script 4: Comparing to Competitors

Customer: "What about Boost Mobile? I heard they have $25/month unlimited."


You: "Great question! Boost Mobile does have $25/month unlimited, and that's a solid deal.


But let's compare:

Mint Mobile (first 3 months): $15/month Boost Mobile: $25/month


For your first 3 months, Mint is $10/month cheaper. That's $30 in savings right there.

After 3 months, Mint goes to $30/month, so Boost becomes $5/month cheaper. But you already saved $30 in the first 3 months, so you're still ahead for the first year.


Here's the math: • Mint Mobile first year: $45 (3 months) + $90 (next 3 months) + $90 (next 3 months) + $90 (last 3 months) = $315 • Boost Mobile first year: $25 × 12 months = $300


Okay, so Boost is $15 cheaper over a full year. But here's what Mint gives you that Boost doesn't:

  • Free calling to Mexico & Canada (Boost charges extra for this)

  • Unlimited texting to 160+ countries (Boost is more limited)

  • 40GB priority data (Boost has 30GB)


If you ever call Mexico or Canada, or if you travel internationally, Mint is the better value. Plus, both run on T-Mobile's network, so coverage is identical.


Bottom line: Mint gives you more features, and the price difference is minimal. Which one sounds better to you?"


Script 5: Upselling Multiple Lines

Customer: "Okay, I'm interested. Just one line for me."


You: "Perfect! One line at $15/month is a great deal. Quick question: does anyone else in your family need service? Partner, kids, parents?"


Customer: "Well, my wife needs a new plan too. She's on Verizon paying $70/month."


You: "Oh wow, she's paying $70/month? Let's get her switched to Mint too! Here's what you'd save as a family:


Current cost (you + wife): • You on Metro: $50/month • Wife on Verizon: $70/month • Total: $120/month = $360 for 3 months


Mint Mobile (both of you): • 2 lines at $15/month each = $30/month • Total: $90 for 3 months

You'd save $270 in just 3 months! That's almost $1,000 per year in savings.


And you both get unlimited data, free Mexico/Canada calling, and T-Mobile's 5G network.

Why pay $120/month when you can pay $30/month for the same service?


Let's get both of you switched today. Do you have her account info from Verizon?"


Script 6: Closing the Deal

Customer: "Alright, let's do it."


You: "Awesome! You're making a great decision. You're going to love Mint Mobile, and you're going to love saving money every month.


Here's what we need to get started:

  1. Your phone: Do you have an unlocked phone, or do we need to get you a new one?

  2. Port your number: If you want to keep your current number, I'll need your account number and PIN from Metro. You can get this by logging into your Metro account or calling them.

  3. Payment: $45 for your first 3 months of service.

  4. SIM card or eSIM: We can do a physical SIM card or eSIM if your phone supports it.


The whole process takes about 15-20 minutes. Once we're done, you'll have unlimited service on T-Mobile's network for just $15/month.


And before we finish, let me show you some accessories to protect your phone. We have cases, screen protectors, and chargers. Want to grab anything while you're here?"

"Perfect! Let's get you activated. Welcome to Mint Mobile!"


Objection Handling

Objection 1: "I've never heard of Mint Mobile"

Response: "That's totally normal—Mint Mobile doesn't advertise as much as the big carriers, but they're actually owned by T-Mobile. Ryan Reynolds (yes, the actor) was a part-owner and spokesperson before T-Mobile acquired them.


Mint has been around since 2016 and has millions of customers. They save money by selling online and through dealers like me instead of having expensive retail stores everywhere. That's how they can offer such low prices.


The important thing is they run on T-Mobile's network—the same network as Metro by T-Mobile. So you're getting the same coverage and quality as T-Mobile, just at prepaid prices. It's a legitimate company backed by T-Mobile."


Objection 2: "What happens after 3 months?"

Response: "Great question! After your first 3 months at $15/month, the price goes to the regular rate of $30/month. You'd prepay for another 3 months at $90 total.


Now, $30/month is still cheaper than most carriers: • Metro by T-Mobile: $50/month • Cricket Wireless: $60/month • Verizon/AT&T prepaid: $50-$65/month


So even at regular pricing, you're saving $20-$35/month compared to competitors. And you're still on T-Mobile's network with unlimited data.


Plus, Mint sometimes runs promotions for existing customers too. But even if you pay full price after 3 months, you're still getting a great deal."


Objection 3: "I can't afford to pay $45 upfront"

Response: "I understand—$45 upfront can be tough if you're used to paying monthly. But let's look at it this way:


On Metro, you're paying $50/month. So you're already paying more than $45 every single month.


With Mint, you pay $45 once and you're covered for 3 months. That's it. No more payments for 90 days.


Think of it like this: instead of paying $50 this month for Metro, you pay $45 for Mint and you're covered for the next 3 months. You actually have more money in your pocket over the next few months because you're not paying $50 every month.


If $45 is still tight right now, I can help you find a plan that fits your budget. But honestly, this is the cheapest unlimited plan you're going to find anywhere. It's worth finding a way to make it work."


Objection 4: "What about customer service?"

Response: "Mint Mobile has customer service available 24/7 through their app, website chat, and phone support. Most issues can be resolved through the app, which is actually faster than calling.


But here's the thing: you also have ME as your dealer. If you have problems with your Mint service, come see me and I'll help you troubleshoot or contact Mint on your behalf. You're not on your own.


And honestly, Mint's service is pretty straightforward. You prepay, your service works, and you're done. Most customers never need customer service because everything just works.


Plus, you're on T-Mobile's network, so the actual service quality—coverage, speed, reliability—is the same as T-Mobile and Metro. The only difference is the price."


Objection 5: "I need more than 40GB of data"

Response: "Okay, so you're a heavy data user. Let me ask: how much data do you typically use per month?"


Customer: "I don't know, maybe 50-60GB."


You: "Alright, so you're using 50-60GB. Here's how Mint's unlimited plan works:

You get 40GB of high-speed data at full 5G/4G LTE speeds. After you hit 40GB, you still have unlimited data, but it slows down to about 2G speeds (around 128 kbps).


Now, 2G speeds are slow—you can still use messaging apps, email, and basic browsing, but streaming video won't work well.


But here's the thing: most people don't actually notice when they hit 40GB because they're on WiFi at home and work. Are you on WiFi most of the time, or are you using cellular data 24/7?"


Customer: "I'm on WiFi at home and work."


You: "Perfect! Then you're probably only using cellular data when you're out and about. 40GB is plenty for that. And even if you do go over, you still have unlimited data—it's just slower.

For $15/month, it's worth trying. If you find that 40GB isn't enough, you can always switch to a different carrier after 3 months. But I think you'll be fine."


Objection 6: "Can I keep my phone number?"

Response: "Absolutely! We'll port your number over from your current carrier. You keep the exact same phone number—nothing changes except your carrier and your lower bill.

The porting process usually takes 15-30 minutes, but it can take up to 24 hours in some cases. During the port, your old service stays active, so you're never without service.

All I need is your account number and PIN from your current carrier. You can get this by logging into your account online or calling them. Once we have that, we'll submit the port request and you're all set."

Upselling Opportunities

1. Multiple Lines

Pitch: "You're getting one line for $15/month—great choice! Do you have family members who need service? Each additional line is also $15/month during this promo. If you switch your whole family, you could save hundreds of dollars. Want to add more lines?"


Target conversion rate: 30-40% add second or third line


2. Device Sales

Pitch: "Are you bringing your own phone, or do you need a new device? We have unlocked phones starting at $99, or I can show you mid-range phones with great features for $200-$300. Since you're saving so much on service, you can afford a better phone. What's your budget?"


Target attach rate: 20-30% of activations include device purchase


3. Accessories Bundle

Pitch: "Let's protect your phone! We have cases and screen protectors—I recommend getting both. We have a bundle for $25: case + screen protector. One drop without protection can cost $200+ to repair. It's worth the $25 investment. Want to add that?"


Target attach rate: 60-70% buy accessories


4. Prepay for Longer Period

Pitch: "You're prepaying for 3 months at $45. Did you know you can prepay for 6 or 12 months and save even more? If you prepay for 12 months, the price drops to $180 total—that's $15/month for the whole year instead of going up to $30/month after 3 months. You'd save $180 over the year. Want to lock in the $15/month rate for 12 months?"


Target conversion rate: 15-20% upgrade to longer prepay period


5. International Add-Ons

Pitch: "You get free calling to Mexico and Canada, but if you travel internationally or call other countries, Mint has international calling credits and roaming packages. Do you travel abroad or call countries besides Mexico/Canada?"


Target attach rate: 10-15% add international features


Dealer Success Metrics

Daily Goals (Per Sales Rep)

  • New activations: 5-8 per day (higher volume due to low price point)

  • Multi-line conversion: 30%+ of customers add second line
