As you know, we changed to a new compensation structure at the beginning of last month because we want to reward you, our loyal Retailers, by providing you with more money over time.
"
we want to reward you, our loyal Retailers, by providing you with more money over time.
"
This benefits everyone, since it works out to more compensation for you the longer your customer stays with us. Ultra is ready to win big...together, and our new compensation proves it! We’re leveling the field and beating the competition: we now pay over 50% more than competing mobile providers over a 24-month period. Before, you were compensated with 3% residuals after three months. But now, our
residuals have increased to 15% up to the customer’s 24th month. That’s five times what we were offering before! This 15% residual is on new and existing customers that participate in an Ultra Classic plan. Meaning you will start seeing the benefits right away. Ultra has always been an industry leader when it comes to recurring revenue for our Retailers. By increasing your share, we all are rewarded by customer loyalty.
"
Now - great news! - your residual is increasing 5 TIMES to 15% for all qualifying customers already in your base!
"
This ensures that you aren’t starting from the ground up. That hard work you’ve already done will pay off for a lot longer than three months! After 24
JUNE 2019
months, you still benefit for as long as your customer remains with Ultra Mobile. You receive a 6% residual with AutoRecharge, or a 3% residual after two years for the life of the plan. Your customers want consistent, excellent service from their wireless provider, and encouraging them to stay with Ultra is good for everyone. They get consistency and flexibility, and you get a monthly reward and residual from your loyal customers! That’s a win/win situation. Activation spiffs are still in place, but
we’ve adjusted them to $15 for multimonth plans and $5 for single months plans. They pair with your new 15% residual for up to the customer's 24th month, making you more money over time. As your customer base grows, your new earnings potential is primed for a big increase. Our Retailers are fantastic and deserve to be rewarded with more money over time. Long-lasting customer relationships, combined with this new compensation structure, means customers and Retailers will grow together.

1. What do you think about the new Ultra compensation program? I like it. In the long run residual is what counts for me. It's where I see the bigger check.
1. What do you think about the new Ultra compensation program? I think the new compensation structure is a great change. I am looking forward to seeing the difference in the residual payout.
2. How do you keep your current customer base with Ultra? I don't necessarily do anything special. I don't look to switch the customers and I put them on the plan they need.
2. How do you keep your current customer base with Ultra? Keeping customers can be tricky, especially if you have many competitors around, but if you treat your customers right and put them on the right plan they will always come back to you.
3. What are your tips to growing your base? Make sure you're putting the customer on the right plan. Most customers will stay if they are happy with the service.
3. What are your tips to growing your base? Right now business is slow, but when customers are unhappy with their current provider I can always rely on Ultra to make them happy. When one customer is happy
A C T I V A T E B Y U LT R A M O B I L E
they will send their friends and family your way. 4. How will the new compensation program help your store? With business being slow, the residual increase takes pressure off of the daily hustle and bustle. I don’t have to stress knowing I have a strong residual check coming.
2. How do you keep your current customer base with Ultra? I encourage customers to activate a threemonth plan instead of a one-month plan, so the customer does not have to come back every month to make a payment. I normally recommend the customer to get the $23 or $29 plan because of the lower price point with more data. 3. What are your tips to growing your base? Now that the new compensation program pays out more for a customer to stay longer, I will start encouraging them to stay with Ultra instead of switching to different carriers. 4. How will the new compensation program help your store? Bottom line is that our store will be making more money on the backend if we don’t keep switching our customers and it will be easier so we don’t have to constantly port in and port out accounts.

Brooklyn, NY Selling Ultra since 2014 1. What do you think about the new Ultra compensation program? I like the new structure because I always make sure I qualify my customers who I activate on Ultra and doing this has allowed me to have a solid base. Now, I am able to continue to encourage customers to stay with Ultra while making a higher residual check each month. I'm excited to know that during slow months I can still count on some money from Ultra to help me with my expenses. 2. How do you keep your current customer base with Ultra? I would say 80 percent of my customers come back to pay their bill at my location. I have been able to maintain solid relationships with my customers, since I have their trust and strive to put each
customer on the best plan. I know if the customer is calling a certain country and Ultra has the best rate, I will suggest what plan is right for them. 3. What are your tips to growing your base? Gaining customer trust by making sure they know I will connect them with a plan that works for them. I'm not selling based on which company pays me the most or who is offering the promotion of the month. I put them on the best plan for them so I know they will come back month after month. 4. How will the new compensation program help your store? The biggest way it will help me is that during a slow season when customers are shopping at big box stores and after the holidays when foot traffic dries up I can still count on a check from Ultra for all the hard work I have put in already.

Father’s Day is June 16th
NOTEWORTHY
According to Hallmark stores, Father’s Day is the fourth-largest card-sending occasion, with nearly 95 million Father’s Day cards expected to be given just in the United States. It’s also a huge day for calling and is one of the busiest days for collect calls.
In 2018, a reported 83 million calls were made on Father’s Day last year. A typical long distance call is eight minutes long, but Mother’s Day and Father’s Day calls average eleven minutes. Which means customers are actually paying more to talk to their loved ones.
JUNE 2019
Why should customers pay to call their dad when they could get unlimited international calling included on Ultra? What better way to talk about the upcoming holiday than by asking, “Did you know you could get unlimited international calling included in your plan?”
No matter how many plans you sell this June, we want to wish you a Happy Father’s Day to all of the Ultra Dads on our team. We know the sacrifices you make as an Ultra Retailer and we’re Ultra grateful to have you as a business partner.
