Yep, youre the guy, youre salesmanship is why your word is solid gold to me, literally made a make or break decision in our company. im under an NDA, but that link you sold us made us a very substantial amount of dough cause you sold us on the right solution when we tried to cheap out, like a literal business ender had we not took your advice. Im assuming I cant put you on the spot to choose a manufacturer here. TBH it would have been a clincher had you walked in and said Aviat is shit. I wouldnt have replied to Kens emails. You honest sales guys suck, when you leave.
