Endorsing a product has never been better as HTC offers its retail employees and salespeople with a brand new HTC One M9 handset at an unbelievably low price. As Phone Arena rightly puts it, “There is nothing more convincing to some new phone shoppers deciding which model to buy than seeing which device is in the sales rep's own pocket.” True to the core, HTC is apparently gearing up to offer the discounted One M9 to its retail carrier employees, and this plan will also allow them to switch to the latest flagship each year.

This new program is reportedly called the HTC Champions. With this program, HTC expects its retail carrier sales representatives to sign up on the official website. The HTC One M9 price will be reduced to $299 off-contract for those HTC Champions.

Moreover, such employees will reportedly be eligible to sign up for HTC's One 4 Life initiative. This means HTC is obligated to replace the sales representative's HTC One smartphone with the latest flagship model. Adding cherry on top, the employees will not be charged for the upgrade, Phone Arena notes. HTC has officially published information about this killer HTC champions program via Patrick Hill’s Google+ account.

Readers who belong to the HTC retail salesperson group for any U.S. carrier can sign up for the HTC Champions program. However, readers should note that the stocks are apparently available in limited quantities only.

In the meantime, HTC has announced One M9+ recently. The handset comes with a 5.2-inch Super LCD3 display packed with a Quad HD resolution of 1,440 x 2,560 pixels, which translates to a solid pixel density of 534 ppi. Under the hood, the One M9+ is powered by an octa-core (Mediatek MT6795T) processor and backed by 3 GB of RAM. The device runs on Android v5.0.2 Lollipop OS along with HTC Sense UI 7.0 and is equipped with 32 GB of storage space.
