Not only is the Palm Pre available for purchase online, but it looks like Sprint has the device up for sale yet again via TeleSales. That’s right, if you’d rather not go down to a Sprint store, or, your mouse-clicking finger and typing wand are just too tired and sore to make the purchase online… you can turn on your speakerphone, lay in your recliner and make the purchase while doing as little as humanly possible. This news comes to us via SprintGurus, where an internal Sprint memo has leaked with all the details:
Summary: Big news! Sprint has decided to open up the selling of the exciting new Palm Pre device to Telesales starting 07/20/09 and Sprint.com and Wireless Manager on 7/22/09.
Specialists: All
Customers: All, except employee accounts (EWD and SWAC)
Effective Date: 7/20/09What you need to know:
- Selling the Palm® Pre™ in these channels will be permanent.
- All processes will be business as usual.
- Palm Pre is still not available for employees or their Advantage Club accounts.
Why you need to know it:
- This is a great opportunity to meet and exceed your sales goals!
What you need to do:
- Care agents can now transfer customers to Telesales to purchase the Palm Pre instead of referring everyone to stores.
- Continue to use your support documents for questions: Palm Pre Tips and Tricks ( for troubleshooting and tips learned from the initial launch) and Palm Pre Questions and Answers (for general information provided before the initial launch).
I guess all stock issues have been resolved. Opening up the Pre for sales online and via phone will hopefully yield a new ‘wave’ of purchases.
