I suppose anything is possible, but if I had to bet I would bet against it.]]>Feb 13th 2009 5:51PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/
I hate to see anyone without work, they should have changed theese roles to sales roles.

Just my 2 cents.........]]>Feb 13th 2009 5:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/Feb 13th 2009 6:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/Feb 13th 2009 6:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/Feb 13th 2009 6:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/Feb 13th 2009 7:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/Feb 13th 2009 7:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/Feb 13th 2009 8:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/13/sprint-lays-off-all-in-store-greeters-and-hosts/Only From Sprint.

I respect the opinions of those who felt we were actually disruptive or a waste of time, but in my mind we held our own in improving the customer experience, as has been documented. Most of use weren't cell phone sales experts, though many hosts have now moved up. There are some of us who excel at hospitality over sales; that's not a bad thing.....unfortunately, business is business. I remember how the greeter program was pushed when Jacobs Field in Cleveland opened in 1994. The jobs were simple; greet and exit greet. This, I'm sure helped lead to years of consecutive sell outs, along with good players in those days.

I wouldn't have done too well as a sales man at Sprint, given the pressures of quota. I wasn't there to take people's money. I was there to be helpful, period. The one truly human-relations position (as opposed to $$$$) is now gone, and I feel Sprint as a company is of lesser dimension without it.
