Wireless retail was supposed to disappear after 2020. Instead, the prepaid market is showing new growth.

More stores are opening, investment is increasing, and events like the All Wireless & Prepaid Expo are getting bigger.

Could prepaid wireless become the next major growth engine for the industry?

Good people.
Old friends.
New conversations.
Business.
Laughs.
And one moment I’m very proud of.

I came here to connect, learn, talk wireless, and see what’s next for this industry.

But this trip is already reminding me of something I’ve believed for a long time:

Business will always come back to people.

The relationships you build.
The people who support you.
The team working behind the scenes.
And the conversations that sometimes open the next opportunity.

We also had a special moment yesterday that meant a lot to me and the UPD team. You’ll see a little bit of it in this video…

But there’s a much bigger story behind that moment.

More on that next. 🏆

For now, here’s a little look at Day 1 in Vegas.

We’re just getting started.

More customers are moving from post-paid to prepaid—and price is a big reason why.

When people can cut their monthly bill and still get the service they need, prepaid starts looking like a much stronger option.

So what does this shift mean for wireless dealers?

Exclusive or multi-carrier- where is the real opportunity for wireless dealers right now?

The numbers tell an interesting story.

Exclusive stores are gaining momentum but thousands of multicarrier stores are still competing and winning across the country.

So which brands are leading the multicarrier channel?

Success isn’t magic.

It’s what happens when you keep showing up long after the excitement wears off.

You won’t feel motivated every day.

That’s where discipline comes in.

Do the work.
Stay focused.
Be consistent.

Your goals don’t care about your intentions.

Your actions are what prove how badly you want it.

Wireless retail was supposed to die.

So why are more stores opening?

Something is changing in prepaid wireless — and I don't think enough people are paying attention to it.

Jeff Moore and I talked about where the industry may be heading next.
