In 2013, Bean Group partnered with Apple to provide an online Apple site just for Bean Group agents that offered modest discounts on Macs and other Apple products. Unfortunately, the site was discontinued after a change in Apple’s corporate direction.
Although the old BG Apple site is defunct, agents and employees can take advantage of discounted pricing at local Apple Stores by simply requesting the Bean Group discount from their Apple sales representative. Alternately, agents can connect directly with Tyler Syphers, Business Development Specialist, and the Manchester, NH Apple Store Business Development team (TheMallofNewHampshireBusiness@apple.com) for quotes and assistance on any products of interest.
Doug and company can assist with Bean Group discounted pricing and free direct shipping on Apple products including custom Mac configurations and select 3rd party accessories, and can also provide info on Apple learning programs and the soon-to-be rolled out “Today at Apple” sessions.
Remember that Bean Group corporate pricing applies at any Apple company store, not just the Manchester location, so be sure to ask for the discount prior to purchase. Also remember that competing sellers sometimes offer promotional pricing, especially on more common configurations, so it’s always a good idea to check pricing at Best Buy and others before making a substantial purchase.
A couple of notes: the Bean Group discount won't be honored by third-party retailers, or by the independent Apple re-sellers we've spoken with, e.g., MacEdge in Portsmouth. Also, there isn't currently a mechanism to view the discounted price online -- an Apple rep will need to assist with the price quote and subsequent purchase, either in the store, by phone, or by email.
