Giorgio Fronimos

I used to think that BlackBerry was only for big companies and executives. But I've discovered that it is perfect for self-employed people like me. – Giorgio Fronimos, Self-employed wine tour operator and chauffeur based near Sienna, Italy

Business Challenge

  • Giorgio Fronimos works alone and is constantly on the move ferrying customers around, so having the time to take bookings and prepare itineraries can be challenging
  • Most of his guests come from all over the world, and the vast majority of them contact him via email
  • Because of the time difference between Italy and many countries, Giorgio is rarely in the office when emails arrive

Solution

  • Giorgio was offered a BlackBerry® smartphone from his mobile phone operator and connected with a BlackBerry® Internet Service—in minutes
  • Giorgio uses his BlackBerry smartphone to make and receive voice calls and email as well as access the web

Results

  • Giorgio handles 80% of his emails on his BlackBerry smartphone
  • The BlackBerry® Browser is used to find phone numbers, hotels and restaurants
  • Using a BlackBerry solution has enabled Giorgio to attract new business by giving an efficient and professional service
