verizon signOne would think that companies would do anything they can to retain a customer. After all it is widely believed that keeping an existing customer is cheaper than trying to find new ones, but in a recent statement made by Verizon’s CFO Francis Shammo, it seems that the carrier isn’t too fazed after losing 138,000.

This is according to Verizon’s latest financial report in which the carrier reported that they had lost 138,000 postpaid customers in the last quarter. However instead of being disappointed, Shammo instead suggested that if the customers they lost was purely because they weren’t happy with Verizon’s pricing, then that was something the carrier could live with.

According to Shammo, “If the customer who is just price-sensitive and does not care about the quality of the network—or is sufficient with just paying a lower price—that’s probably the customer we’re not going to be able to keep.” This is a very different attitude and strategy than the one employed by Sprint and T-Mobile, both of whom are trying to lower their prices and come up with unique offers to help keep and to attract new customers onto their network.

Shammo’s statement also seems to be in line with the company’s values as previously, the carrier commissioned an opinion piece in which they tried to justify how giving unlimited data to customers is bad for them, something which based on the comments of our readers is something not many seem to agree with.
