High-margin services
Repairs, trade-in/buyback, device setup, and data transfer.
Top revenue streams for wireless dealers (profit centers)
These are the most common profit centers dealers stack. Each one includes a simple “how to win” note so you can implement it fast.
Accessories (attach rate)
Standardize 2–3 bundles (good/better/best) and train every rep to demo value in 30 seconds.
Repairs (screen/battery)
Win on speed + consistency: intake checklist, clear estimates, and a simple status update process.
Prepaid & MVNO plans
Focus on the top 2–3 plans your market buys most, and build a simple comparison sheet for reps.
Internet & home services
Add a “second offer” at checkout: home internet, streaming, security, or business internet where available.
Device protection / insurance
Sell protection as peace-of-mind + replacement speed. Use 1–2 simple scripts and a one-page FAQ.
Trade-in / buyback
Set clear grading rules and a daily pricing update routine so reps can quote confidently.
Financing & payment options
Reduce sticker shock with clear payment options. Train reps to present financing early, not at the end.
Setup services (data transfer)
Package setup into a paid service tier (basic/premium) and make it part of every activation.
BillPay + Check Cashing
Traffic-driving services that can create passive income and repeat visits—then convert that traffic into accessories, repairs, and plans.
Money Transfer + International Top Ups + International LD
Great for prepaid-heavy markets. Keep top destinations ready and make it a fast counter transaction with simple add-on scripts.
