My Customer Relations Manager at Trendscout has shown to be not only a great friend but a person with great knowledge , experience and integrity. One gets the feeling if you’re not
comfortable with the deal, then my CRM isn’t comfortable. She has always taken the time to answer questions and explain things. Not very often do I do recommendations but this gal gets an A+
