"I believe the most important factor of the business should be customer service. Of course pricing is an important factor, however, too many times merchants are left wading through issues with minimal help. We implement a “4 rings and Resolve” practice where your call will be answered by a real person, with in 4 rings, and your issue resolved! Now that’s customer service!!"
