“Navigating the world of communications solutions has always been complicated, and our small business customers have told us so. They’ve reminded us repeatedly, ‘Just make it easy, make it affordable, and tailor it to me as a small business owner,’” said Jaime Jones, Sprint senior vice president. “Cutting through the complications of buying communications gear is a challenge we stepped up to when we launched Sprint Biz 360 last summer. Demand has been strong, so we’re bolstering the original package with new offers and services to make it even more appealing.”
Jones added, “What small businesses want is for a carrier to pull together the solution pieces into a coherent package that’s easy and comes with the support they want. That continues to be our intent with Sprint Biz 360.”
Sprint Biz 360 is available in Sprint Retail Stores, or can be ordered by calling 1-877-9BIZ360 (1-877-924-9360).
