Chatr Mobile / Rogers Communications · dealer stores · Toronto · Oct 2022 – Aug 2025
It didn't happen overnight.
Three years on a Toronto store floor, through two Chatr dealers: from cold calls as a new student to supervising three stores.
- Sep 2022Landed in Toronto
Here for the PGDM at Humber College. The first job was on campus: students could only work twenty hours a week.
- Oct 2022Joined a Chatr dealer
Advance Solution, one of the dealer stores selling Chatr and Rogers. The first months were cold calls and reaching out to people, one conversation at a time.
- 2022 – 23Forty hours and a PGDM
The one year students were allowed to work full time. I clocked all forty hours, kept the grades (GPA 3.5/4) and finished the course.
- Oct 2023Made supervisor
One store first. Then a second. By the end, three stores and a team of five: daily revenue, training, shifts and the numbers behind them.
- Feb 2024The work permit
It came through after graduation, and the job stopped being a student job.
- May 2025The stores were sold
Immigration slowed, fewer newcomers walked in, and the owner sold the business. I moved to the next Chatr dealer, Wireless DNA, until August 2025.
What a month was measured on
Not just SIM cards. Tap one.
The core of the job: new lines, every day.
What it taught me
In the last year, customers walking past the Tim Hortons next door would bring us a coffee on the way in. We never asked. In three years I never had to buy one.
Floor sales teaches you to read a person in the first ten seconds and to not waste theirs. Every nationality, every age. I still use that on every discovery call.
What was mine, and what was not
- Chatr and Rogers were the brands; the stores belonged to dealers, Advance Solution and then Wireless DNA.
- The team of five did the selling on the floor. My job as supervisor was the stores' numbers and the people.
