Testimonials

It was one of the most satisfying customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Completely knowledgeable and even took the time to research and provide info for something I had not even considered. Thanks you - Please don't change a thing!

They were terrific! Fantastic job keeping the national office informed and prepared, moderating the club calls, doing analysis in timely manner, providing accurate information, negotiating strongly on our behalf and keeping us on task to hit due dates.

I’ve been a Cannon Group customer for 15 years, and I’ve brought them with me through the last three companies that I worked with.

10/10 customer service!!

Great service, knowledge and proactive help...gold stars for sure.

The Cannon Group team provides consulting services in telecommunications with skill, as well as efficiency with an emphasis on value. They are a pleasure to work with. They make their clients look good!

On our first engagement, the Cannon Group team was able to deliver huge savings back to my company. I also engaged their team to manage the telecommunications aspects of my company’s home office relocation and they completed the project with an improved plan, ahead of time and on budget. I highly recommend Cannon Group.

The differentiator for Cannon Group is trust! Trust gives us the comfort of having a solid relationship with our telecom outsourcing provider. That trust allows Cannon Group to autonomously execute on our behalf, which allows me to focus on the business that I intend to run, without having to worry about anything suffering on our telecommunications side.
