“The team that [FastStart] brought in here has been the highest professional – exceedingly capable and really felt like the group was vested in what we were trying to accomplish right along with us from the very start. The tools we’ve gotten so far have been top quality, very professional. Everything we’ve gotten from FastStart has met or exceeded what we had hoped to get.”
