Sabotaging V30?

[chriskwarren]

More frequent updates would help LG rep.

Lack of updates on Android is a real problem, but one that most people don't know exists.

How so? They don't have it or don't have the perception of having "updates" yet grew market share in the US.

Losing existing customers. Many firmer customers left due to old bootloop issue. My V20 was fine but I won't buy LG again due to lack of updates. Once you gain a customer bad idea to lose him but you've lost me.

That's fine for you. But there is no evidence that updates = sales.

You're right, but LACK of updates can lose existing customers. You won't grow much if you must constantly find NEW customers. Many LG owners discuss this issue. It isn't only I.

Are you a cellular salesperson?

No, I run a large division in a major international tech company. I have worked on the business side of the Tech world for almost 30 years. I am very familiar with working with partners and resellers. Retail and solution providers. MDF funds are a staple for partnering with companies to jointly promote your products. When you see any type of joint promotion (advertisement) for a tech item, the promotion was developed and paid for with MDF.

So this means that you know that those T-Mobile salespeople received absolutely no training on the V30?

Why didn't LG set up the display in the T-Mobile store? Samsung reps go to the store setup displays and return to make sure they are still functioning. I do know that Samsung and Apple budget considerable funds to market with their partners. Both sides contribute to extend their marketing budget. The reason something Best Buy had 2 year old V10 displays was the due to LG lack of Field reps watching over their brand.

So this means that salespeople received no training on the V30 whatsoever?

I have yet to hear one post from anyone on this forum that met a salesperson knowledgeable on the V30. Some companies will send out packets of material with the crazy idea some one in the store will read the material.

I hate it when I go to stores to check something out and I know more than the sales people, but that's like everytime.

You're right. I've schooled phone store salespeople many times.

My Verizon corporate store had 1 V30 on the back row. No signs or anything, I actually thought it was a G6 and almost left the store. Even worse, the screen was locked with a PIN and I had to get someone to unlock it for me.

I was looking to buy the LG V30 but not a single TMobile store in CT has the phone on launch day!!! are you kidding me? Extremely disappointing that TMobile does not have actual phones in stores on launch day.

I'm sorry to hear (well, read) about that! Did T-Mobile sell out of those phones or did they just not have any in stock?

 

[dfaris]

They don't have any. Yesterday I was at the stores again and still no V30s in stock. I wqnt to put my parents on TMobiles 55+ plan but I'm not so sire now. Gezz I thought TMobile was the un-carrier more like in-inventory.
