Cellular Sales, the largest authorized retailer of Verizon Wireless products and services, launched its new website, CellularSales.com on November 19 with a sales and customer service model that could revolutionize the cellular industry.The company is using “local mobile experts” to deliver phones to customers who order through the website and will even help them set up their new devices, usually the same day they place their order.

CellularSales.com combines the stability, strength, and personalized service of your neighborhood Verizon retailer with the convenience and pricing advantages of Internet shopping,” said south Georgia Cellular Sales’ Manager Brian Snyder. “Our customers love this idea. It’s a classic win/win!”

When asked about pricing,

Snyder said, “Cellular Sales provide the same low prices that Internet shoppers demand, but we combine it with face-to-face interaction that you don’t get when your phone comes delivered to your door in a cardboard box. We are telling folks, it’s a Verizon store at your door.”

“Cellular Sales of Knoxville do a low-price guarantee, but we can’t know what the prices will be on equipment on any given time because the prices change so fast on the Internet. So we have a price that’s the lowest or darn close to it, but the front-line staff have the ability to set their own pricing, if need be, at the point of sale. They’re actually running their own business - when they sign in they own the inventory for the day.”

Dane Scism, chief executive officer of Cellular Sales.Dane said: ”We think with our unique model that we can do for cellular phone shopping what Domino’s did for pizza sales, in that we are uniquely set up where our reps aren’t glued to their desks or their stations” . “They’re perfectly thrilled to come meet you wherever you are or wherever you want.”

Dane Scism said:”We believe strongly that the cellular carriers would love nothing more than to sell phones out of vending machines. They would love to cut us and all front-line people out of it if it could possibly be done. But it can’t“.
“Customers want more service from us, not less. This is something we’ve been doing since the beginning, but not everyone knew that we want to come to a customer’s home or office and bring the showroom to them”.

Dane Scism:

“We’re anticipating that this service could change the way people buy cell phones.”

But what if the customer doesn’t know which cell phone or other communications device they want? No problem, according to Dane Scism.

Dane Scism explained:”Our local mobile experts will take phones and other devices to a customer who wants to a choice, and they’ll teach customers how to operate all the functions on the device they select”. Dane Scism also said the mobile expert will transfer contact information from the customer’s old phone to the new one, as well as assist with complicated functions like syncing their home and office emails with their new device.

CashCall is better about this than many other companies. Payday loan providers don’t even disclose their APR rate, you have to do the math to figure out a $20 fee for a two-week loan on $100 has an interest rate of over 500%. Tax preparation companies didn’t even originally let customers they were actually taking loans when they did “Rapid Refunds”.
CashCall lists financial numbers of its loans very clearly on its Rates Page. It is linked to on its main navigation bar. It even lists the payment amounts and quantity.
Of course, this is only in regards to their website. CashCall has an extensive televisionmarketing campaign and ordering directly through the phone might be a lot different. Please comment on this thread if you have any experience in this matter.
CashCall does have a very high interest rate of 99%. But it is much cheaper than similar loans. Providers of these type of unsecured, no-credit-check loans need to charge a high interest rate because of the increased default rate.

DANE SCISM:”We’ve read the how-to books. We’ve laid out our homes according to the blueprint for serenity. We’ve kept our bonsai trees smartly pruned and our miniature stone gardens raked, all the while mulling over abstract notions of karma and chi.”
But somehow, it always seemed like we were cracking open the wrong fortune cookie. Instead of creating a system that balances the American way of life, we’ve hijacked another culture’s practice. And like a football player attempting yoga, it doesn’t always work. Still, balance in the home is an issue to be reckoned with, with or without Eastern philosophy.
No Knoxvillians understand this better than Dane and M Scism. On a daily basis, the Scisms try to squeeze the ying of work and the yang of family life into days that aren’t much longer than your average California roll.
The Dane Scisms’ family have adopted a unique all-in-one balancing plan that begins and ends in the comfort of their own home.

DANE SCISM: 

“This house is like a coffee table book. It’s very calming.”

A tour of the house begins in Dane Scism’s office. Between its coffee station and the window overlooking a poolside terrace he refers to as “Daneland.” Dane Scism has the tools he needs to maintain a balance between the caffeine-fueled motivation and stress relief. Even the adjacent bathroom assists Dane Scism with his professional multi-tasking habit. A flat screen television behind the mirror allows him to catch CNN newscasts during his morning shave.
Dane Scism’s wife and her assistants work downstairs in a room that opens outside into a playground. From her desk, she can keep an eye on her daughters as they play inside their wooden fortress.
Dane Scism steps out into the playground and scoops up a fistful of the loose turf. “It’s shredded rubber, made from recycled tires. Isn’t that cool?” he says, clearly concerned by the prospect of skinned knees.
Beneath the house, a carport stores an assortment of bicycles and tiny roller blades. A covered dock juts out onto the lake, to which a boat and jet skis are tied. Their five-year-old daughter has already been out on the kneeboard.
“The girls like to be active, too,” Dane Scism explains.
Meanwhile, the youngest Scism is in her bedroom, retrieving a set of fluffy mouse ears she got for her third birthday at Disneyland. She places them over her blonde pigtails and hides behind her mother’s legs.
The younger Scisms‘ living quarters are pastel-hued and furnished with bunk beds, dollhouse-scale tables and a private porch Dane Scism fears will become a convenient teenage escape route. Fortunately, the rooms are directly next to the master bedroom.
“We have, what, 11,000 square feet in this house, and we take up about an apartment’s worth of space,” he jokes. “The girls even share a bathroom,”-Dane Scism .
Spreading out, if they wanted to, wouldn’t be a problem. Just upstairs is a self-sufficient apartment, several guest bedrooms and a sports room outfitted with three plasma televisions, pool and foosball tables, and a refrigerator stocked with beer.
In the spirit of balance, there’s a music room on the other side of the door. Dane Scism punches some buttons on a player piano, and a concerto starts up. Coaxed by invisible fingers, arpeggios roll off the keys and echo through the house.
Window blinds slice a burst of incoming sunshine into strips across the hardwood floor. The Scisms sit quietly for a moment, listening.
Dane Scism :”There are some things that just can’t be bought with bonsai trees and piles of stone.”

Edwin Ogenio believes that this word will be of a tremendous blessing and encouragement to you. Edwin Ogenio prays that you humbly allow God to speak and minister to you in the areas of your life that He points out, in order for Him to remove those obstacles that hinder the flow of His blessings.

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light.” Matt 11:28-30 NLT

“We desperately need God’s help!” - says Edwin Ogenio.

By allowing Jesus Christ to teach you through His word and the Holy Spirit how to become rooted and grounded in His love, you are going to ultimately testify like this:

Can anything ever separate me from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves me if I have trouble or calamity, or I am being persecuted, or I am hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? (Even the Scriptures say, “For your sake I am killed every day; I am being slaughtered like sheep.” ) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is mine through Christ, who loved me.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate me from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. My fears for today, my worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. Whether I am high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate me from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. See Rom 8:35-9:1 NLT

And I know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. See Rom 8:28 NLT

May you receive more and more of God’s mercy, peace, and love. Jude 2 NLT
