Reference for Kevin R. Vagt

1 August 2011

I have known Kevin for over 4 years and have worked with him exclusively to help me make better decisions. Kevin is extremely competent in both hardware and software sales. He also demonstrates outstanding salesmanship skills which motivated me to send many friends and neighbors to him for their business needs. Without exception, the feedback has all been very positive.

I have dealt with Kevin over the phone and he is very methodical in his approach to dealing with problems. He is very dependable and follows through every time I have called him for resolution of problems and makes sure that issues are resolved completely.

On occasion, Kevin utilizes the expertise of his work associates to help solve problems and his demonstrated team-player approach to solving problems has been very much appreciated.

I would strongly recommend Kevin as a self starting Senior Sales Executive for any company who needs a quality businessman on their staff.
