Johnner1999 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Any leaks related to that "town hall" meeting yet? Anxious to see what's coming up!Dito...

joshuam Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be more than business account targeting. That isn't going to drive the turn around alone, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket87 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Something might be happening fast. Im listening to marcelo's town hall meeting and he is talking down framily for being to complicated. He keeps mentioning new simplified plans but isnt giving details. I also just found out stores are closing early Monday for mandatory training. Id guess that new plans are coming within a week. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that is fast! Yeah, if people are having problems understanding the plans, then going more simple is probably a good idea.

And training will definitely help. I am liking Marcelo already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert You also have to figure Masa and Marcelo are thinking there is an opportunity to get out there with the new plans ahead of the iphone 6 launch. With a lot of iphone 5 users (heck I still know plenty of people on the 4s) coming off contracts and looking to upgrade, there is a window here. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuam Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just speculation and wishes...(note: I'm on an 8 line framily plan now with several family members, we managed to merge them into one framily, got the right CSR apparently), but I really hope they add some tethering into the plans, as well as simplified ways to make the per line easier to understand. The framily was a good idea had it been done before market saturation, but now it's just hard to understand the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmbr1scoobs Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Along with new plans, we still have the "Take the Edge Off" event on Tuesday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnner1999 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I think on the 19th Marcelo should come on stage wearing a camel or tan jacket with a yellow tshirt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kct1975 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 this article is pretty spot on.... is he a member here :-) http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/lowensteins-view-memo-new-sprint-ceo-how-turn-things-around/2014-08-14 I completely agree with all of the comments from the members here, that is a really good article! The writer does make a lot of good points! Wow, that is fast! Yeah, if people are having problems understanding the plans, then going more simple is probably a good idea. Robert I agree! I hope that new plans are rolled out! The Framily Plans does not work for me. Two problems I personally have with the Framily Plans is the confusion, and the fact that with only two lines of service (one Android phone...mine, and one feature phone...my father's), the Framily Plans do not save me any money and would actually be more expensive for me. Also, I don't have a lot of family, and I refuse to recruit completely strangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't have a lot of family, and I refuse to recruit completely strangers. While I do agree Framily is WAY too complicated, it does save you lots of money if you spend the time recruiting. For instance, my Framily is 8/10 currently and it really wasn't that difficult to achieve. You just have to work with Sprint to merge existing customers, if you're wanting to go that route. I'm very happy with Framily, now that we've gone through the work of getting everything setup. Again, I do agree. Sprint just needs to make it easier overall. It is a great plan, just frustratingly over-complicated. Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david279 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 i wouldn't be surprised if they just drop the recruiting stuff and everybody goes to $25 a month with the options for $10 for 3 GB and $20 for unlimited. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk Personally...I don't think it's complicated per se....I just think it's complicated for the average joe to comprehend....If you read how it works, it's not that hard to grasp, but the general population (Outside of S4GRU) Make it complicated...

coorsleftfield Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 If Sprint drops prices any more, I will probably make sense to finally move off SERO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all looking very good! I really hope he starts using his twitter account too. Sounds like he has some great plans, and they are acting on them ASAP. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
