"A-1 Wireless has become the top TPR dealer in the country since Rob has taken over as Regional Sales
Manager. I can honestly say he's the smartest, most talented manager I've ever worked for. He has a different
approach to coaching and motivating his staff like I've never seen before. He is excellent at reading people,
and figuring out a way to motivate them. At the same time, he sets high expectations and holds us to higher
standards than we thought we were ever capable of achieving. He has helped me realize the potential I have
as a Store Manager, has helped me grow, push myself and believe in myself every day. This company and all
of us employees owe a lot of gratitude for what Rob has done to help us all grow and reach the goals we've
reached. Its an absolute joy to work with a manager who has done all of this for us and more! Can't wait to
see how much we grow even more in the future!"
- Jenn DeLuca, Store Manager, T-Mobile, reported to Robert at T-Mobile A-1 Wireless
"I have been working with Robert for a year and a half. When he took over our market we were doing half the
numbers we do now. After the first month of his coaching and sales techniques our numbers nearly doubled.
The following month after we fully embraced his new techniques our numbers more then doubled. He is
continuously providing us with direction for ways to grow our business. I have learned alot to help myself
and my team grow. His ideas and techniques are valued."
- Catherine Avona, Retail Store Manager, T-Mobile, reported to Robert at T-Mobile A-1 Wireless

with T-Mobile. Very personable and tries to make the phone plan the best fit for each customer and
explaining the different options available."

"Since Robert Keyser assumed the Regional Sales Manager position at A-1 Wireless, we went from an under
achieving market to shattering your goals each month. He knows what buttons to push with each of us from
management; all the way down to the sales rep. Robert finds new ways to invent himself, with strategic
planning and motivation. I have never seen such passion put into his work in development of new and
existing talent. Just when I think we can't push anymore, Robert exudes confidence in all of us to persevere
through adversity. I can honestly say, that I wouldn't be where I am today, if Robert didn't take over as our
Regional Manager. I am a better manager because of him. It is a pleasure to work with him each day, and to

hit our goals at the store level, and as a market. He thinks outside the box, and he constantly adapts to shifting
changes in the wireless industry. He is always several steps ahead of the competition. Best manager I have
ever worked for and reported to!"

get out and promote ourselves while also driving business to his T-Mobile locations through live shows and
promotional events. Every time I show up everything is taken care of in terms of the proper cables being run,
and a set up we can easily work with at the radio station. Robert also has provided me with outstanding
customer service on my mobile device always resolving any and all minor issues quickly and allowing me the
opportunity to try out different products his company offers. I feel my radio station and Roberts company
have had an outstanding working relationship since we first started last fall and I look forward to continued
success for both of us in the future."

- Ryan Warner, Regional Director of Retail, T-Mobile USA, managed Robert indirectly at T-Mobile
"Over the 8 years that I worked with Rob I had the pleasure of witnessing him evolve into a strong,
motivating and successful manager. There was never a challenge Rob was not willing to take on with his full
commitment and often exceeded all expectations. Rob created a successful team within a kiosk that was under
performing and transformed it into the highest producing kiosk in the district. After Rob`s success in the
kiosk he received a much deserved promotion to the Sales Manager of the Wolf Rd. Store in Albany, NY. In
the new location he was able to demonstrate even more of his selling and people skills. Repeatedly Rob and
his team lead the district in Net Sales, Accessories and overall Revenue. With a strong sales team and a
driven desire to help others Rob implemented weekly, district wide, calls to share best practices and help his
Team Managers. Not only sharing of best practices via the phone, he would often be found in other locations
helping and motivating representatives in sharpening their sales technique. Rob wanted to be directly with the
staff, side by side, uncovering areas that needed attention on the sales floor. Over the years, Rob also took it
upon himself to run the District Outreach program which brought in additional sales above and beyond what
was taking place within the store. He is passionate about making connections with the local community and providing excellent customer and operational support as well. Rob has a motivating, positive attitude which isone of the many qualities that would be an asset to any organization. I would highly recommend Rob and wish him all the best in his future."
- Lisa Casey, Sales Manager, T-Mobile USA, worked directly with Robert at T-Mobile

offer insights that we sometimes were not aware of. He was always accessible for help, or if you needed
someone to bounce some ideas off of."
- Anthony Mercury, Retail Store Manager / Retail Assistant Manager, T-Mobile USA, worked directly

professional and personal levels since he's a nice and caring person. I hope that we are able to work together
on a project again in the future."
- Alexa Eaglestone, Corporate Alliances Manager, Six Flags Theme Parks, was a consultant or contractor
to Robert at T-Mobile

viewed as a leader in both the district and region."
