HOW DO I BECOME AN AGENT - AGENT INFORMATION

What is Pocket Deal ?

Pocket Deal is an online store that offers visitors a wide range of mobile/data and consumer products at a price that makes them affordable and convenient. Pocket Deal uses a number of courier methods to deliver the ordered goods as quickly and efficiently as possible.

We currently have over 200 products and our buyers are continually searching for additional products that will add value for our customers.  During lockdown, the range of products available will be limited to those that may be sold during this time.  Any customer who purchases a product outside the allowed list, will be issued a voucher which can be redeemed for the product when the lockdown restrictions allow.

Becoming a Pocket Deal Agent

Part of the Pocket Deal medium term plan,  is to broaden our reach and grow our customer base. As a result, we have begun a campaign to secure motivated agents who want to further the brand, as well as improve their income stream in the process.

Pocket Deal Agents will be empowered to market our range of products. Agents will not be required to carry stock of the products, unless they need to in terms of their own marketing strategy.  The sales process is controlled by our online store and all items purchased are dispatched from Head Office. This means that the Agent need not be concerned about dispatch logistics.

Sales presentations may be done face to face, in groups, via any of the social media/email platforms or by accessing their existing network.

Commissions are earned as a percentage of Sales Turnover.  With selected products,  the commission is a fixed amount as in these cases, the commission rate will be much greater than the normal commission percentage.

Pocket Deal offers prospective new agents the choice of 3 different levels. These levels vary both in cost and what they offer in terms of commissions. Irrespective of the Agent Level selected, we supply each registered agent with their unique agent code for tracking commission, free bulk emailing software, and 500 leads monthly to help agents source customers.

A Detailed Look at our Targeted Products

Android TV Box and Wireless Controller

The Android TV Box turns your TV into a Smart TV. Using installable Apps, you can access a wide range of TV and Sports Channels for free. The Android TV Box is a plug and play device that requires an internet connection (Wi-Fi or LAN connection).

This device is widely used as an alternative to paid satellite subscription services as the only cost to the customer is the Box itself.

Although the Box comes with a remote,  typing and navigation can be quite frustrating and time consuming.  We therefore have packaged the Box with a Wireless Controller that makes navigation and typing far easier.

How do I sell

Pocket Deal is an online portal. Because of this,  Agents can operate from anywhere and they do not need to carry stock.

The preferred sourcing of prospective customers is via social media platforms, email marketing and accessing your existing network.  You will be operating as an independent agent so you can run campaigns that best suite your targeted audience or network.

Face to face selling does, in many cases, offer an increased closure rate so this is also an option available to Agents.
