"Enterprise businesses are facing several challenges at this time of year, but we are too. At an ISP, we have to identify and develop replicable systems that can be quickly implemented across highly-specific audiences." - Darius McGrew, Enterprise Account Executive
In layman's terms, the fast-paced, high-anxiety environment of hurricane season is felt on all sides.
On one side, local business owners are hyper-focused on heightened redundancy and business continuity. On the other side, Enterprise Account Executives are faced with high-demands, last minute requests and forecasting concerns.
"A key customer I've worked with on this is CoreRX - a local Healthcare Manufacturing plant in Clearwater. They experienced intermittent connectivity issues with their landlines during Hurricane Helene. Fortunately, our team at Frontier was able to provide a cost-effective replacement solution." - Darius McGrew
Instead of just pitching backup circuits and mobile failovers, Darius quickly integrated AI into his outreach strategy - turning storm preparedness into a proactive, data driven campaign.
AI-Powered Outreach and Predictive Planning is driving success.
Right now, using AI-driven analytics, Darius McGrew segments enterprise business customers in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Sarasota County based on 3 key factors:

From Sales to Safety and Beyond
McGrew's work goes beyond the clicks and conversions. His efforts are a testament to sales reps being more than just deal closers. They are community advocates, tech innovators and strategic partners in public safety.
