The service we have. and continue to receive. from both Chris and Diane. is exceptional to say the least. Chris has gone the extra mile on more occasions than I can easily name to be sure we are satisfied with his service. Diane takes our many questions in stride, and always provides exactly what we are looking for. even when we aren\'t even sure what it is. After a thorough review of the available companies and copiers. and several interviews and presentations, it was decided to go with Yuma Office Equipment, utilizing the State of Arizona Contract. Since we made the switch in copiers. we are experiencing no errors in billing and great service. Before the change, it was a monthly issue. with lost invoices and late charges. Service was slow and at times. did not handle the problem. With the new contracts. we can bill everything to a Purchasing Card which also gives us the option to split out the individual charges to multiple accounts. We are a very large organization. with many campuses. spread out from San Luis to Parker; Chris has never once indicated that the immense amount of time and travel required of him in the set up and continued handling of the accounts was any kind of issue. He is an amazing representative to work with, and we count ourselves lucky to have him handling our accounts.

Overcoming Communication Issues in the Workplace
Posted Aug 21, 2017
Communication issues hinder productivity and efficiency, which ultimately cost your business money. Here are the four most common communication issues and how you can overcome them in the office:
Language Barriers: One way to better communicate is by listening to understand. As you communicate, take the time to carefully consider context and connotation, rather than just denotation. Remember, words have different meanings to people, so consider what the individual means as well as what the word actually means.
Personal Feelings: When personal feelings affect the way we communicate in the workplace, it becomes a larger issue that affects the entire organization. When communicating, stick to relaying facts and information, remain objective, and above all keep your personal emotions in check.
Lack of Response: One-sided communication not only slows productivity, but it also halts progress. It is essential to make sure you provide feedback, even if it is just a simple acknowledgement of receipt. This way the communication channels remain open and progress continues.
