Quotable
“We see our customers at baseball games, at church, in the grocery store. I mean, I myself am wearing a Sparklight shirt and I’m going into a grocery store while I’m in market. Someone may talk to me about an offer, maybe even about a problem. I talked to a customer yesterday, who had moved into one of our markets from Michigan. I called her back to follow up on an issue that she had with our new Sparklight TV. She was like, ‘I am blown away that you called me.’ I’m like, ‘But you wrote me a letter. You had a problem. I needed to fix it. I needed to make sure you’re okay.’”
