If you purchased a mobile device from a Walmart location in the last five years, there’s a good chance a Premium Wireless Sales Pro helped you on your shopping journey. Wireless Sales Pros are the go-to wireless expert within the Walmart store, helping shoppers with new phone sales, activations, upgrades, and accessory bundling. Currently, Premium employs more than 2,100 high-performing wireless sales team members comprised of hourly and salaried professionals.

Today, Premium is humbled to announce that Walmart has awarded us additional locations as a key sales and operations partner for the Walmart Wireless program. With this latest program expansion, Premium expands our footprint by 50% beginning in June and July 2022. This expansion extends Premium’s reach into 13 new states and creates 1,000 additional jobs.

Since 2017, Premium and Walmart have partnered on the Wireless program with a team led by Tom Maria, VP of Strategic Accounts. Before joining Premium, Tom served as Vice President of Store Operations for RadioShack. Chad Cooper, Senior Director of Operations, and Mark Hann, Senior Director of Client Service, joined Premium in 2018 after many successful years with Verizon and Samsung. This leadership team partners closely with Walmart to define and guide the program’s future strategies. Since our first stores launched in 2018, Premium’s program footprint has increased by 250%. 

“Our ultimate goal is to drive sales by connecting shoppers with highly trained, engaged wireless experts. We’re incredibly proud of the program’s success and thank Walmart for this incredible partnership. Together, we’re making Walmart a key destination for wireless shoppers.”
– Dick Doyle
President of Assisted Sales and Training, Acosta
