Newsagents being pressured by Optus

I’ve had several newsagents and people from one of my own newsagencies tell me that the calls and visits from Optus trying to get them to sign up to sell Optus products in-store are pressure-focuses. They don’t take no for an answer. Nothing like the Jenlist relationship at all.

As well as product and marketing ideas, newsXpress shared discount product opportunities for newsXpress members from some of our preferred supplier colleagues – providing even more opportunities for raising average achieved gross profit through the winter months.

    To date I have taken three phone calls from Optus “just checking” that I’ve received their “offer” and wondering whether I might be going to sign it.

    Rick, do you get a refund or a credit if you decide to quit this stock?

    Wendy, same here. Keep telling them I am undecided on the future of phones in my store.
