From Rich Klaben to Scott Burghardt, to Christine Klaben, Angela, Jenn, Steve - Best customer service ever. Always respected my wishes and spoke to me, not at me. The entire sales force feels like a family t Angela, Jenn, Steve - Best customer service ever. Always respected my wishes and spoke to me, not at me. The entire sales force feels like a family to me and that’s why I’ll always return to Klaben. I have to say Scott Burghardt is a real professional even though I tried throwing him off his game at times, (Jokingly of course) he remained vigilant, courteous and professional. Thanks to David Klaben for recommending him to me. I highly recommend Klaben for their atmosphere of respect for their customers and themselves. Can’t leave out the Service department Tom Alcorn and Sean are top notch Managers who I enjoy thoroughly in our conversations. They really go above and beyond to make my service appointments go smoothly. From Mario, to Kim, Mona, Mike and all the rest of their team - Congratulations ! Always remember, like I did with Nestle “Be consistent and fair with whoever you come into contact with” That mindset is what taught me that people -everything, whether it’s business, manufacturing or customer service - A company is only as good as the people who work there. Treat them with respect and it will come back to you two fold. Thanks for all your efforts as I truly appreciate you all. John and Becky Trigilio More
