I'd forgotten about all the great training available to me for free. Also, it gave me a little bit of a morale boost. Thanks again. AWAI customer service is always courteous, friendly, supportive, and efficient. One thing that is commendable is that they are knowledgeable about the products that are being promoted. That is a big plus and gives you confidence in AWAI. I have called other businesses and the customer service does not know what is being offered or have knowledge regarding their products. So, it is refreshing when you ask AWAI customer service and they can answer your question. Excellent customer service, quick response time. Thank you Jessica is personable and easy to talk to. She is helpful and manages the conversation well while listening to what is being said to her. Thank you, Jessica!
