A little issue with our web provider installing the correct code (on them not you) but did want to say that Rick, our rep, is on task I wish all of our vendors had his customer service skills. Even with the chat not fully installed we are already getting leads!:lol:

If you have any questions about calculations, or anything else feel free to call me anytime.

We are looking forward to watching the results unfold. I think all of you will be surprised at the increase in lead conversion percentages, and sales.
