Not only to come from last place to first place in our industry, but to
be the most improved U.S. company, period, over the last four years in
the ACSI survey is a testament to the relentless focus the people of
Sprint have placed on serving our customers, said Dan Hesse, Sprint CEO.
Frontline Sprint employees are enthusiastic about serving the needs of

I simply try to do the best I can and make sure Ive gotten everything
done, said Virgil Bosley, specialist-Customer Care, Lenexa, Kan.
Getting recognition from our customers makes me feel like were doing
the right thing. It might be small steps sometimes, but it tells me
were heading in the right direction.
What I preach to all of my team is to treat customers like theyre
family members, said Alex Alum, store manager-South Miami Beach, Fla.
The better a customer feels when they leave the store, the more
referral business theyre going to bring to us. And long-lasting
relationships come from great customer service.
