A little less than two weeks ago we reported that Tim Cook spearheaded a three-hour long meeting geared towards increasing the percentage of iPhone sales that occur at Apple retail stores. As it stands now, the vast majority of iPhones are purchased online, from carrier stores, and from brick and mortar retailers like Best Buy.
Now 9to5Mac is reporting that Apple has taken to asking its international retail employees for advice on ways to increase iPhone sales at Apple retail store locations.
In a message sent out to retail employees last week, Apple explicitly asks for great iPhone ideas from retail employees below the manager level.
