In an effort to keep the iPhone numbers ahead of a quarter of Apple, as sales are expected to drop in the future for the first time, Apple to Encourage Apple Store Employees to Sell More iPhones Through New Rewards Program. Apple informed sales staff and the public of the new program yesterday, and it will run between February 21 and March 26, according to sources.
The goal of the program is to push Apple employees to sell more iPhones with the promise of rewards and an all expenses paid vacation to Cupertino, California, for employees who sell the most iPhones in their region, according to sources. While this show is ultimately about selling more iPhones, Apple positions it as a way to celebrate the success of the iPhone.
Also, while Apple explicitly tells employees that this program is more than just selling more iPhone units, sources say that the metrics for giving rewards and holidays are: the number of iPhones sold per week, customer satisfaction, selling a lot of iPhone accessories, and how often the reuse and recycle program for your iPhone is used in the store.
The best performing stores in their sector during the period between February and March based on the aforementioned indicators, will win a gift card for the best team in the store of the company, in addition to a party for the whole storewhile the best salespeople who excel in each sector will win the Cupertino tours. This move is another for Apple to boost iPhone sales, after this month rumors of a larger iPhone to be unveiled.
