Cliff was on my team during my time with Washington Mutual in Winter Park, FL. His ability to quickly learn new tasks and his attention to detail allowed him to progress with the company. He was an asset to the team, often mentoring new employees and always willing to go the extra mile to help a client. Cliff demonstrated exceptional customer service skills and a genuine willingness to do what was right for the client in every situation. I am sure that these attributes and more are what continue to make Cliff a successful professional today.

Cliff Long is one of the most attentive people I know. He is helpful, caring, and intelligent. Cliff is the type of person that everyone likes. He has no problem getting along with others. I have never known anyone else quite like Cliff. Of all the people I have kept in contact with after working with them he is at the very top of the list. If you are lucky enough to get the chance to work with him you will see what I mean. Customer service takes on a whole new meaning with Cliff. He is there to help, and you can take that to the bank. I have never seen Cliff get into a situation with a customer that he could not easily work out to a happy understanding for both parties involved. If you are looking for someone that is good with people Cliff is the one for the job. He is reliable, intelligent, adaptable, and a real people person. He could fit in anywhere.
