“Customer Service is one of our core values. We strive to put our customers first, communicate often and we continually improve our services through training, technology and customer feedback,” Reuben continued.

“No matter how great your product is or how talented your staff are, one of the things that customers are most likely to remember is the direct interaction they had with the company and how they felt. A strong company will strive to have great customer relationships, but a smart company will constantly look out for opportunities to improve customer service and make it an experience.”
