Cricket Dealer Info

I'm currently running a Verizon Wireless dealer in Chicago and thinking about opening a Cricket store when they launch the Chicago market this year. For those who are currently a Cricket dealer in other market, my questions are

1) What is the average profit per phone sale?
2) Are there any residual payout? What percentage or fees do you make for taking payments?
3) What is the advantage of being exclusive dealer over non-exclusive dealers?
4) Does Cricket give good territories distance protection among dealers? (With Verizon now, I believe there is 1 - 3 mile radius protection for exclusive dealers)

exclusive dealers make more per phone and have coop. the profit is depending on your volume. you get different discounts on equipment based on your volume (and a little less on the economy phones). a big part of the stucture is that service fees for (re) activating phones that are not brand new cricket phones, mdn change, esn change, and rate plan change done at your store will be yours and not paid to cricket.
you should talk to cricket about the other specifics if you are interested.

have any of you managed to talk to anyone working in the chicago market?
Im trying to become exclusive or premier but i have no way of contacting them!
IF you guys could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
