- Was at Best Buy today checking out the post Christmas deals. I walked past the tablets section and saw a guy holding a BB 9700. I told him that since he had a BB, the Playbook would be the perfect companion for it. I showed him how bridge works with my BB, sent an email using bridge and brought up BBM. I also showed him loading a flash based website and which were the best Playbook cases.
He thanked me and he asked the sales person for a Playbook!12-27-11 11:51 PMLike 23 -

I did a similar sell in my office with a customer from India. The big boss of the company had a BB, the son had an iphone. We bridged my PB32 to his Bold, and both were impressed. Before their flight back, we went shopping at Bestbuy to pick up a PB32! The son was clearly jealous at that price.12-28-11 06:57 AMLike 0 - That is awesome to hear. I got into Best Buy pretty often, and they constantly try to down play the PlayBook, and keep saying the same thing: "The USB port always breaks."
I have no idea why. Everytime I even mention it to friend that works there, they always say "Get something else." It's good to see that you're at least showing what it can do. Few other Best Buy employees are.
Can't wait to get Mine!12-28-11 08:33 AMLike 0 - No bunnies were harmed during the deleting of 2 posts from this thread!

The hate on for a BB Playbook by some of these sales people is something RIM will have to address if they want to improve their fortunes as well, if a lot of people's first exposure to the product is this hostile they wont be selling a lot of units outside of the fire sales.Last edited by blue-b; 12-28-11 at 12:25 PM.

- Convinced 3 co-workers to get the PB and they all love it!! This shows that its not the customers that don't wanna buy it, they just don't know what it is and what it can do. I hope RIM's marketing departments step it up big time and get some real work done.Hgouck and WrightWords like this.12-28-11 01:06 PMLike 2
