Christian is as interested in the successful implementation of his product for his clients as he is in the original sale. He works hard to ensure it is the right approach and is implemented correctly. The sale is not the end for him, a repeat client is. He is open to feedback, discussions and continual improvement of his products. Christian is a great asset to monitoring instrumentation and needs.
