To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is my personal recommendation for Mr. Andy Benn, with whom I have had the pleasure of closely working with for the last six months. Aside from setting high standards of excellence for all Account Managers at FARO, Andy possesses an extensive knowledge of Sales, Manufacturing, CAD/UG, and Polyworks. He would consistently go above and beyond for his customer by providing us support after hours and more importantly after a sale that wasn’t even necessarily required. At a moment’s notice, he would come in from another state to facilitate setting up computers late night for a high-level training or something simple like replacement batteries. Andy is exceedingly respected by his colleagues for his technical knowledge, passion about the product that he is selling and the industry he is selling to. Andy also has a talent for listening and leads by example, tackling hard problems head-on with dedication and a smile.
Most importantly, Mr. Benn possesses an uncommon honesty and willingness to help anyone whenever possible. He is approachable, available, conscientious, and dominated by a sense of duty. Essentially, these cumulative qualities have made him a tremendous asset to FARO and I would highly recommend him for employment at your company. Kind Regards,

To Whom it May Concern:
I’m writing to share my top notch experience with Andrew Benn and would like to recommend him for Technical Sales and Support positions.
I am a Global Events Manager for a 3D Printing Tech company, and worked closely with Andy for the past year on demo’ing our technology using Faro laser products at trade shows. What impressed me the most about working with Andy is his endless go-getter energy and unique ability to follow through on client service beyond his job description. I found myself in a bind at various shows in the world, and no matter where, what timezone, Andy was available by phone or text to help me find a local Faro colleague to walk over and make sure we were all set. We’ve also purchased more with Faro than originally intended as a result of his superior service.
Andy clearly has drive and passion for his job, but even more so for his clients. I’ve really enjoyed working closely with Andy and any company would be lucky to have him.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions. Sincerely,
Jodi Pavia
Events Manager

To Whom It May Concern,
I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew Benn for the past few years while he was at Faro. Andy was my support representative from Faro.
I am a Quality Engineer at ARC Technologies and have been with the company for 12 years. I have worked with many professionals that I have need equipment and software support. I can honestly say Andy has been one of the best support colleague that I have worked with. Each time I have reached out to get support, Andy has responded quickly to resolve the issue that I was having at the time. If he couldn’t resolve it, he would get me in touch with someone who could (inside or outside the company). As you are aware, when you encounter a problem time is of the essence and Andy’s responsiveness and knowledge was/is greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Andy for Sales and Support positions. I am confident he will excel and be a valuable member to your organization.
Sincerely,
