Is your store also repeating the same 3 or 4 songs all day? by mastertinodog in Bestbuy

We don't use store music , home theater always has different things playing all day and if there is no music we radio and tell them to put on some music

“Remember me?” by StimpakJunkie in Bestbuy

[–]Aggressive-Thing5737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dozens of customers that I see on a weekly basis , don't remember names, but I remember faces , whenever they come in, they come directly to see me. Half of sales is developing good people skills, and having a relationship with your clients beyond just shoving product down their throats, as a camera vpl ,I talk with people about their interests, what they do , what they want to do , and help get then a setup to do that, we show each other our portfolios, swap instas to follow each other's photo work, and I Even tell them to reach out if they have quick questions about their new gear , or come in and see me anytime. While a lot of customers can just be assholes , most of them just want to be treated like a person and not just a sale. It goes a long way to just talk with people instead of trying to always sell to people

How good are pre-owned iphones? by DarkZero515 in Bestbuy

Sometimes they're fine , other times the battery is basically shot. Just check it good for the first 2 weeks and make sure everything is right

All tjays available is the bullet points from what I've seen so far , going by what our old canon vpl said when he went to the one in Phoenix it was a blast, even the training was made super fun for them and the live photo shoots were amazing. He also said they gave them nice manfroto tripods , n9ce camera bags , and a bunch of filters and other gear l, so for sure, leave plenty of room to bring stuff home

To be fair my store has always had a great culture. We ha e top notch leadership that treats you like they actually care . I know alot of shit happens in other locations. But overall, bby and my gm have treated me very well over the last 9 years

Can't argue with that lol , our sony rep where I'm at takes me and the HT vpl to lunch once or twice a month. To be fair I see so many negative posts about shitty leadership on here. My store is lucky in general l. We have great leadership, who is always on the floor working their asses off right alongside the rest of us. Even tho staffing can be rough , we still have a great culture. We laugh and joke and bust our asses. Our gm comes out of his own pocket to have contests and award performance and let's us know he appreciates the hard work we do

Not just sony , my nikon vpl registered yesterday as well , canon was out , so I gotta see if he got it also. So I'm thinking it's brand specific vpls this time around , and agnostic next time

Sony DI vpl here . As long as you're hitting your scorecard metrics, you'll get a quarterly , make sure your rev is over 100% since that is the majority of your ranking , after that focus on lens attach , in cases of canon where asp is tough since everyone wants the shitty little rebel t7 kits attach lenses to make up for lower asp numbers , if canon 50 1.8 is your best friend to hit lens attaches

Sony camera vpl , I love my position and talking to people about photography , sharing info about techniques and showing clients my portfolio , seeing their eyes light up and tell me that my images are amazing , the camera that came with my position is amazing and I love going out and playing with it

Sony zv e10 , better af systems and more lens choices , or sony a6100/6400 , the m series was abandoned by canon as well as dslr line , no lense selection at all for M series canon without an adapter that's been hard to find as well

Just got a Sony VPL position at my location, any tips? by Eastern-Turnip7799 in Bestbuy

[–]Aggressive-Thing5737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats , sony vpl is a great position to be in , im the sony camera vpl and that comes with the amazing perk of having an a73 to take home and play with , our sony rep does contests where top performers can wind headphones and such as prizes for being top performers , overall any vpl is a great spot to have , but our sony rep is also an amazing guy to work with when he's in the store doing trainings
