I have gotten exceptional customer service from one of your employees. He has been unbelievably helpful onboarding me onto the software and he has taken the time to answer all of my questions and help me set up a lot of stuff that I needed to set up. He has gone above and beyond and has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the product. So far I love the product.
