Impact: SBES Trade Allies Diversifying and Becoming More Comprehensive

“I just want to drop you an e-mail and let you know what a fabulous job that your team is doing this year. Things have turned around 180 degrees compared to last year. And you have added pre-approvals this year which makes more work on your end. Pre-Approvals are coming quickly and Invoices are being paid promptly. The team is doing all that it has promised. I hope we TA’s are doing what you expect from us. I know Premium Light is trying.” Thank You, Scott Shepard Premium Light, Inc. “Thank you for your time today. All the calls went fantastic today. I also have to commend you for handling yourself with VCA and your responses about program funding availability. They look like great PY9 customers for us and they seem really excited about PY9. We now have the ability to take our time to ensure they receive the exact fixture, color temperature, and light levels they desire. Have a good weekend all.” Regards, Paul T. Cronin, CPA Century Electric Supply Co.
