A Message From Sales

Jo Ryan, VP of Sales and Marketing at Precision Digital

In Q1 of 2018, I had the opportunity to speak to many of our best customers as we planned for the upcoming year. In these conversations, I'm pleased to say that I heard just as much about the quality and capabilities of our products as I did about our people, support, and attitude. Obviously, I think the Precision Digital display and control product offering is second to none. Beyond this however, we pride ourselves on our effective customer support, our dedicated technical support, and our responsive sales team. When you buy from Precision Digital, you not only get a great product, but you get our entire company that stands behind it, and clearly that has made an impact. Rather than discuss a product, the rest of this article will give a few insights and metrics into how seriously we take our goal to be the best and easiest company you work with.
