From 1990 until recently, the majority of my business was activating cellular phones. In the beginning, it was a great gig. We installed car phones and sold transportable devices as big as Samsonite suit cases. Back then, the phones only made calls. The toughest thing was finding the transceiver, then "burning" a Numerical Assignment Module (NAM) which had to be carefully inserted into the transceiver. I had developed the first "corporate" cellular program for businesses in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Cellular Telephone Company recognized this and brought me in to manage many of their corporate heavyweight accounts including Capital Records, Virgin Records, Gannett Enterprises, Chemical Waste Management, Paramount Studios, Fox Studios, Hard Copy, CBS News, Price Waterhouse, Latham and Watkins, Caltech, UCLA among others. Strangely, nearly 30 years later, wireless services have become a commodity like gasoline. The irony is now, the carriers pay their sales people next to nothing for new activations and upgrades, despite the fact that today's devices are more powerful and sophisticated than the top of the line desk top computers from just ten years ago. In the old days when the activation dollars where flowing, nobody minded spending an extra hour or two instructing clients how to use their new smartphone. Now you know why the kids in the carrier stores refuse to spend time "teaching" customers how to use their devices. I took much c**p from all of the carriers for many years because I was reliant on getting paid by them each month. Last year, I decided that it was no longer economically viable to continue activating phones. I discovered that as a wireless consultant, I could now utilize my knowledge of each carrier to work them over for my clients. After working with their retention departments, I'm aware of discretionary credits and secret non commissionable plans the public will never hear about. I find it very satisfying to make them sweat for a change... So here's the deal... Our Dr Wireless Robin Hood Program is the culmination of my efforts. With this program, we offer a FREE Wireless Evaluation to determine if we can save you at least $400 per year better than your current costs. If we could guarantee these savings, would you be willing to make a one time payment to me for $200 to make this happen? See what our clients are saying...
