TRANSCRIPT
APRIL 28–29, 2020 ONLINE
Welcome to Bootcamp!
On behalf of all of us at iQmetrix, let me be the first to say that we’re so glad you’re here! Well, not here here, but you know
what I mean…
Bootcamp started back in 2018 as a way to bring clients of RQ together to learn new strategies, tactics, and tips from the
product experts and apply it to their business. Whether you’re new to RQ, are a seasoned vet, or are just here to watch your
favorite iQers crack inside jokes that only wireless retailers will understand, there’s something at Bootcamp for everyone.
Two years later, it’s still the same great content with the same cool people. The only difference is that this year, for obvious
reasons, we’ve gone completely digital.
COVID-19 has changed so much of the world as we know in such a short span of time. The wireless industry is in the midst of its
own unprecedented change and is undoubtedly in for more changes. While things are feeling a little uncertain, what’s kind of
incredible is the way communities comes together in times like these.
And we’re pretty lucky – we have a great community right here and we’re grateful, now more than ever, for the amazing
relationships we have with each and every one of you. Even though we can’t be physically together, for Bootcamp, work,
gatherings, celebrations, and more, we’re still finding ways to stay connected.
So, before we dive into Bootcamp, I wanted to leave this thought with you:
The pandemic has brought to light the value of staying connected, and this industry is vital to making that happen. I don’t know
about you, but I’ve never been on more phone calls, FaceTimes, or social Zoom chats in my life. I’m checking in more with loved
ones, reaching out to friends, scheduling happy hours, and none of this would be possible if it weren’t for the world of wireless.
The people you’ll mingle with (digitally) today and tomorrow are at the front line of making sure that communities stay
connected during these uncertain times. And we’re all here today to learn from one another and become more efficient, stay
productive, and be ready to continue supporting and connecting our communities when business returns to normal – whatever
that looks like.
We’re so glad you’re here and we hope you enjoy this year’s Bootcamp – our team is so excited to share their knowledge with
you. This year's theme is all about how to improve efficiency and drive success. You're already experts at what you do. These
sessions are designed to help grow that expertise, so that you can be faster and more agile with RQ achieving maximum
productivity with minimum wasted effort. From introductory learnings to an in-depth, hands on dive into specific
functionalities, there's something in here for all levels to push your business forward.
Whether you’re in your Bootcamp best or in your sweats, we’re excited to see you and are grateful we can come together.
See you online!

Cash is King: Fine Tuning Your RQ Setup and Processes
Will Kropp & Kendra Korinetz
Handling customer transactions is a tough job, even for the most experienced sales staff. Mistakes happen and unexpected
variances can occur. The key to a successful cash management Is to have sound policies and procedures, perform regular
audits, as well as setting clear expectations with your staff.
Let's go over how to get your processes and setup In top shape so that everything runs as smooth as possible.
The below details are help file links and resources for the content covered in the “Cash is King” Bootcamp session.
Physical Check Audit Info and Resources
PCI: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all
companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. This is known as
being "PCI Compliant" and must be done for any location accepting credit cards. Failure to do so increases the risk of fraud,
chargebacks, as well as a fee from your Merchant Service Provider.
Being PCI complaint is a requirement from the card industry for any business that accepts payments. If not completed or done
correctly you can be fined per location, per month.
If you have ever attempted PCI Compliance, you know that it is no easy task. Wireless retailers require robust systems that not
only meet their PCI DSS obligations, but also help to reduce risks and simplify operational and compliance costs. There are 160
complex questions you will need to answer for the SAQ-C assessment, ranging from technical, network, operational and
physical device questions and requirements.
If you would like to learn about reducing the number of questions you have to answer for PCI, we encourage you to reach out
to our Merchant Services Team.
If you would like to learn more, be sure to setup a time to chat with our Merchant Services Team by
emailing [email protected].

Cash Management Security Settings
Manual Payment Processing Security Settings
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 4
(CASH IS KING CONTINUED)
Manual Payments
It can be tempting to ignore the prompts from the terminal or POS when performing manual payments. When I worked in
retail, I was often tempted to skip past the annoying prompts of the pin pad, beeping at me to enter a client's expiration date,
zip code, etc.
However, since working behind the scenes in the payment world, I have come to learn that your business is often charged more
for transactions with incomplete information. It's important to make sure that your sales reps know not to rush to complete a
sale, that it’s better to take their time conducting transactions properly, otherwise they may drive up backend costs for you.
Audit Suggestions for Your Payment Devices
How to Identify a Tampered Device
1. Terminal Size
Pay attention to changes in the thickness of your payment device. Skimmers are placed over top of terminals and are therefore
slightly larger than the device itself, so you’ll know your machine has been tampered with if it appears larger than usual.
2. Chip Reader Depth
Untampered devices should only allow enough depth for the card’s chip to be inserted into the device, not ¾ of the card.
3. Device Backlighting
Devices are designed with button backlighting and light-up functionality when the terminal is in use. If the buttons aren’t
lighting up or you don’t see a green LED light, then chances are you’re being skimmed!
Tips to Ensure Device Safety
1. Occasionally put a sticker on your terminal to ensure the device has not been switched or tampered with.
2. Always double check to make sure that your device is secure or is locked to its stand.
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 5
Categories & Inventory Tree
Jami Cudmore & Ash Kaur
Proper organization of categories for your Inventory Tree is crucial to inventory management. When you have a more thorough
understanding of the categories available to you, you’ll have the power and efficiency of smooth and effortless reporting.
After the Presentation: Homework
Rate your Categories: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Rate your Inventory Tree: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Are they scored the same? If not, which scored better?
Take what you need from our “How do I fix them?” and apply it to your Categories & Inventory Tree to get
tens across the board!
1. Create your new Categories in the following order:
• Parent Categories
• Child Categories
• Grandchild Categories
2. Move your SKUs to their new Category homes:
• Use the appropriate Product Master List to do so in mass (Regular, Non-stocked, Vendor)
3. Once you have cleared all products, delete (or disable) in the following order:
• Old Grandchild Categories
• Old Child Categories
• Old Parent Categories

Reporting Essentials
Michele Wyatt & Jessica Hamer
We’re going over the RQ reporting essentials! From where to start, how to set up, how to progress, and how to set up your daily favorites, our team has the necessities covered. Find the report you need and let’s get started!
Greater Than, Less Than (< >)
Use < > in almost any report to narrow down your search or
help you find specific data.
Grouping
Grouping allows you to drag a couple of columns above
the header bar, which in turn will separate the report
based on the grouping selection.
Star Your Favorite Reports
Use the Star to add reports to your Favorites and the report
you need will always be handy.
Dashboards
View in-depth information at a glance with these easy-to-
take-action visual reports.
Right Click
Right clicking on a header bar of reports will give you a list of
all columns in case the report is too wide. This will also allow
you to uncheck specific columns if you don’t need to see
them. Such a handy tool!
myRQ
Stay connected while away from the office with custom
reporting and dashboards! iQmetrix is waiving the fees for
myRQ from now until July 2020.
Payment Integration Transaction by Date
What it does: This report is available to anyone using integrated payments and allows you to view all payment integration
transactions in a selected time period for selected locations, districts, regions, or the whole company.
Why it’s important: You’ll find important details around payments, such as invoice number, customer authorization type,
card type, merchant number, terminal ID, and more. You can also cancel payments right from the report and check for
orphaned payments!
Sales by Product (formerly known as Product Detail)
What is does: This report allows you to see a detailed history of products sold.
Why it’s important: You get all the details of product sales you want to see, from the invoice, product SKU, tracking number,
and product name. You can also view this information in multiple ways such as sorting by location or employee or looking for
profits or losses. This report should especially be your first choice if you need to investigate taxes, coupons, or cost.
Regular Product Master List
What it does: This report allows you to view and edit attributes of your regular products, all from one place.
Why it’s important: It’s a quick and simple way to make bulk edits, and the import/export feature allows you to easily
manipulate the floor price for any product in real-time.
Min/Max Pricing Adjustment
What it does: This report is one of the most interesting, flexible, and insightful tools available to Inventory Managers,
particularly the Min/Max Calculator. The Min/Max calculator allows you to leverage your historical data to determine how
much or little you should have in stock.
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 7
(REPORTING ESSENTIALS CONTINUED)
Why it’s important: By filtering your previous years or months sales information, RQ will automatically calculate and give you
full details of how you should be handling your inventory. This can save you so much time when it comes to inventory ordering
and removes guesswork from the process.
Commission Detail
What it does: This report shows the commission by invoice and product details.
Why it’s important: Sales associates can see the breakdown of their commission and understand the calculation.
Multi-level Pricing
What it does: This report allows you to manage discount groups.
Why it’s important: It sets standards across your locations for discounts to staff, family, or specials groups. You can quickly
make changes to any discount group.
Sales by Product — Run by Product
What it does: This report gives you a full breakdown by product to get a full Net profit details.
Why it’s important: When run by product, this report allows you to see the full history of the product from when it was
received to when it left your store.

Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 9
Marie Kondo Your RQ
Brett Verot & Jessica Hamer
We have coined our own Method off Marie Kondo called: RQclean. A system of simplifying and organizing your RQ database!
Use the below checklist in conjunction with our session.
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 10
Price Sheet Theory 101
Missy Brown & Kim Callaway
The Carrier Pricing Sheet (or Carrier Price Sheet) in RQ is the driving force behind the Phone Activation Wizard (PAW) that is
used to sell your phones. It helps you set each phone price at the point of sale and also track any carrier rebate.
You can access your price sheet in two ways:
1. Right click on tools menu > Update Carrier Pricing Sheet
2. Inventory> Tools menu> New Carrier Pricing sheet; or Update Carrier pricing sheet
There are four different tabs that make up the RQ price sheet:
1.General Details
This section allows you to modify and track details such as Name, Applicable Locations, Promotions, and Price Sheet Availability.
It also allows you to track the associated Vendor Account (note: you are only able to have one active price sheet per associated
vendor).
2. Carrier Terms:
The Carrier Terms Tab is the Term of the agreement. Our terms are linked to Vendor Rebate Products to track our:
• Equipment Rebates — Capture our Equipment Rebates under Retail Price & Equipment Rebates
• Commission SKUs — Capture our Rate Plan Rebates
How to do a Term Setup:
Inventory> Tools> Price Sheet Term Setup
How to do an Equipment Rebate/Commission SKU Setup:
Inventory> Tools> New Product, Non-stocked Product
• Serialized
• Enforce tracking # length of 10
• Tracking # Prompt: Enter Customer 10-digit mobile #
• Default Price/ Rebate: $0.00
Set to “hide” on invoice from the pricing tab if you don’t want this SKU to print on receipts
3. Retail Price & Equipment Rebates Tab:
This is where we can specify which phones can be sold on which terms. This tab will have two columns for each term:
1. Retail Price: This tracks the selling price of the phone at the point of sale based on each term
2. Equipment Rebate: This tracks any equipment or device subsidies received from your carrier
a. The Equipment Rebate SKU pulls from the “Equipment Rebate” column in the Terms tab of the price sheet
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 11
(PRICE SHEET THEORY CONTINUED)
Note: Each Carrier has different rules on how this tab is filled out. If you are not sure which values to input, you can reach out to
your Client Manager for assistance.
4. Rate Plan Rebates Tab:
The Rate Plan rebate tab allows us to specify which rate plans can be sold with which terms and lets us track the expected
commission.
The Commission columns within this tab populate based on the Commission SKUs linked to our Terms in the Carrier Terms tab
of the price sheet.
Rate Plans:
Rate Plans are created as non-serialized, non-stocked products with a default price of $0.00.They can be created from
Inventory> New Product> Non-stocked Product; or you can use “Create Similar” to copy from an existing rate plan.
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 12
Price Sheets in Action
Teresa VanderVeen & Ash Kaur
This micro session will explore reconciliation in action—how it works and the different price sheet promotions available.
Vendor Rebates is where part of the purchase price is returned by the seller to the buyer. It’s money back from the:
• Carrier
• Vendor
• Manufacturer
At the end of the month, we have to reconcile where all of our funds are coming from and if we aren’t properly tracking, things
can get tricky. That’s where the Price Sheet comes in handy. It’s used to track and reconcile receivables.
Finance Wizard is the tool that tracks the money for the financed device as well as offsets the selling price of the phone so you
can appropriately collect taxes, and your profitability. The SKUs tied to each section of the Finance wizard set up is key to
understand because each different type of SKU does a different function in RQ.
Finance Wizard is made up from a combination of:
• Financing Rebate SKU and the Vendor Rebate SKU (Required)
o You need to configure both. This will enable you to track the amount that the dealer financed the device
with the carrier. The dealer gets paid back on the commission statement.
• Financed Amount SKU and the Non-stocked Product (Required)
o You need to configure both. This reduces the RQ invoice by the financed amount to collect taxes. For
instance, iPhone XR has a selling price of $1,200. In the Financed Amount, leave $0 due for the phone on
the invoice. If you do not use this flow, your profit and loss is imbalanced in RQ.
• Store Fee SKU and the Non-stocked Product (Optional; based off business needs)
o You need to configure both. These charge an in-store fee that is collected by your business for processing a
financed transaction
• Vendor Fee SKU and the Vendor Rebate SKU (Optional; based off business needs)
o You need to configure both
o Can be a Flat Rate or a Percentage of the financed fee
o Fee is charged to you as the Retailer on you commission statement and requires reconciliation to verify
correct charge.
o Fee does not impact the customer
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 13
(PRICE SHEETS IN ACTION CONTINUED)
Price Sheet Promotions:
This is a way to setup discounts or track extra compensation on devices that:
1. Receive money back from a Carrier, Vendor, or Manufacturer
2. Reduce the price of a device when certain criteria are met
3. Combination of 1 & 2 together
• Setup needs:
o Vendor & Vendor Account setup (to track commission)
o Vendor Rebate Product
• Criteria that can be set includes:
o Specific Phones
o Specific Term Types
o Specific Terms
o Specific Price Plans
o Specific Add ons
Features (Data Storage) — Must be tied as compatible to rate plans
Accessories — Must be tied as compatible on the Devices
o Combinations of the above
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 14
Performance Groups
Missy Brown & Jonathon Levinson
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are important to every wireless retailer because they provide access and insight to your daily
metrics and help inform important business decisions. In RQ, you can use Performance Groups to get targeted visibility on
performance and productivity out in the field.
Performance Groups allow us to create a custom group of products or categories. We can then use the efficient out-of-box
reporting to help pull out insights and guide us in our decision-making.
Common Examples of Groupings
• Accessories • New activations • Upgrades • Insurance
How to Setup
1. Head to the Reporting Console 2. Click on the Performance Targets 3. Choose Performance Group Setup
Hot Tip: We recommend using “By Category” when assigning products
Performance Group Utilization
Attachment Rates
Attachment rate for two metrics? We have got you covered! RQ can calculate two Performance Groups like Performance Group 1 / Performance Group 2 Head to the Settings Console and search for Attachment Rate Setup. Typical Attachment Rate Examples
• Accessory = Accessory Units Sold / Total Boxes • Insurance = AppleCare Plans Sold / iPhone Units Sold
Hot Tip: Ensure the name of the Attachment Rate is explicit
Periods
These periods are the date range that your targets will belong to. Head over to the Performance Group Targets menu again and
click Periods.
Hot Tip: Build your periods in advance
Targets
Setup is all done, time to enter the targets. Head to the
Performance Group menu and click New Performance Group
Targets. Select your period and start filling out the screen.
Remember:
• Use Mass Update Tools
• You can Import and Export
Reporting
Be sure you check out all the Performance Group
Reporting, especially the Performance Group Summary
Report. Remember to check the other tabs.
Hot Tip: Lock widgets to the Home Console in Role Management
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 15
The Product Life Cycle from Start to Finish
Michele Wyatt & Josh Kerr
This session covers the product cycle. Let’s see how products grow from infancy, to adulthood, and all the way to retirement.
Types of Products
Serialized Regular Products:
These are your high-cost, physical
products that you want to associate a
serialized number with to track each
individual unit’s entire history in RQ.
Think: phones or high-end accessories.
Non-Serialized Regular Product:
A physical product that has a lower cost
since tracking is not a per-item basis.
Think of your low-cost accessories.
Non-stock Products:
This is a non-physical product that you
sell on a regular basis and can be
serialized or not. This would be things
like rate plans or warranty packages.
Non-revenue Products:
Any product you create will not affect
Gross profit on sales. This is great for
charity type products.
Warranty Products:
A physical product, like a phone, that
you offer to customers getting warranty
and need a temporary product. RQ has
full reporting around loaner phones.
Bundle Products:
This allows you to combine multiple
products for one specific cost
associated to it. You can also have
negative quantities - great for bundling
accessories in sales.
General Product Details
1. Map, map, map! Use the catalog to map those products!
2. Ensure products live in the right categories, think about how your staff and other members need to view it, and use
this category both in everyday sales and reporting.
3. Remember the proper way to bring in quantities:
a. Count sheet: This pulls the most updated cost and allows you to change at time of receiving.
b. Starting inventory Count import: This allows you to mass bring in cost and quantities for new products only.
Any products that have historical data will not be able to be brought in.
Adolescence Stage/Adult Stage
1. Min and Max Adjustment Report: This report will allow you to set you Min (the minimum quantity you should always
have in stock) and your Max (the max amount you should keep on hand). This will help in the process of auto-
ordering.
2. Auto Transfer Reports: This allows you to use to Min and Max numbers to move inventory around easily based on
which locations your products are performing best at.
3. FIFO: Always sell old inventory first. Check the Aged Serialized Status report to see who’s following it.
Retirement Stage
1. Refund products to non-sellable to more easily
handle them. You can easily generate adjustments
using the Non-sellable Product Adjustments
report.
2. Check your stale inventory on a regular basis and disable
and remove products you don’t need as this causes
cluttering in your inventory. In addition, consider
recycling programs with your local repair shops or
environmental groups!
Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 16
All Things RQmobile
Kelly Jardine, Missy Brown, & Kirstie Brooks
Mastering the Sales Experience
This session explores how to master the mobile sales experience on
RQmobile, a solution that gives reps the ability to complete a
transaction without being constrained to a desk.
Sales Console
The Sales Console is the hub of our Sales Experience. From this screen,
sales associates are able to initiate New Sales and Orders, check
Customer Sales history, Gift Card Balances, and use the Serial # status
picker to ensure the product being sold is following First in, First Out
rules.
View Support File
Inventory & Count Sheets
Using RQmobile for counts allows users to freely perform their
inventory count without being constrained to a desk or requiring
additional hardware as the scan can be performed using only the iPad.
When performing a count on the iPad, ensure you have your volume
turned on to utilize RQmobile’s smart beep functionality. A successful
scan is indicated by a high beep. If a product scan is unsuccessful, there
will be a low beep to notify the user of the dreaded mis-scan.
View Support File
Widgets – User Profile Tab
As of version 2.42, Widgets have been added to RQmobile, giving reps
the ability to track their Commissions, performance, and more through
RQmobile. The data displayed in these widgets is the same information
accessible in RQ.

Bootcamp 2020 Sessions 17
Understanding General Ledgers
Darcy Summers & Michele Wyatt
G/Ls touch all aspects of your business, from your products, payment type, and manufacturers, and they’re impacted when you
make products, receive inventory, do RMAs, or make sales. Basically, they are the foundation or building blocks of your
business within RQ.
Top Reports to Investigate G/Ls
1. Sales by Product: This report will often show you a clean breakdown to cross compare your G/Ls to showing you
which products where sold with selling price and tax details.
2. Product Masters Lists: These lists are great if you want to see if there is an error amongst your G/Ls associated to
products. You can easily run the report and use the mass-editing options within the report to change the G/Ls of any
products.
3. G/L Activity Report: This report will show you all you need to know about G/Ls and what they are impacting within
your business.
4. Tax collected report: Although we don't touch on this report too much in our presentation, it’s vital for any business
that has to deal with taxes in tax season. You can run with or without vendor rebates, which comes into play
depending on your business. Gross Charges within this report will be your gross sales and services for your taxes,
which include the non-taxable charges and taxable charges.
a. Why are gross charges higher than net sales within this report? This comes down to bill pays or non-
revenue product SKUs, as they do not affect net sales or gross profit, but you can tax these SKUs.
b. Why are my non-taxable charges a negative? This is because more carriers are moving to a financing model
of business. However, when RQ looks at financing, it creates negative charges because of the way it reduces
the value on the invoice,. You can run the B Product Details Report to see if there was any financing SKUs
associated to a sale to offset and reconcile these balances.
5. Tax Details Report: This report can be run to see taxable and non-taxable sales. This will allow you to see all of your
non-taxable product SKUs within a date range. You will also be able to cross compare for those nontaxable items.
Debits and Credits in the G/L World
Below is a simple guide to help you as you dive even further into your G/Ls:

How to go Mobile with RQmobile
Kelly Jardine & Brett Verot
We know that the move from desktop to mobile is a hard one. We’re going to share the tips and trends we've learned on how the industry is changing to mobile, as well as go over how to get started with RQmobile.
How to Start:
First things first, reach out to your Client Manager! We have an entire Client Experience Team who has your back and is ready
to help you go mobile!
Your Client Manager will supply you with links to help files that contain more information covering all the topics, below.
Step 1: Hardware
Remember, you do not have to go out and buy new hardware on day one. Once you decide to go full mobile, you will need to
review the hardware that is preventing you from this.
Required Hardware — an iPad: The minimum version requirement is iOS 10. Most iPads should work with RQmobile as long as
the operating system is current. The recommended iPads are listed below:
