Ever since meeting with Impact Dakota I have had nothing but good vibes.  They have put together data letters for me to mail out to customer inquiries, making the letters more personal, which has made the replies simpler and saving me time. Having the one-on-one time with Impact Dakota answering questions has helped with the overall design of the brochures we mail out. In addition, setting up contacts for video footage to put on our website. I have been referring Impact Dakota to people I know and feel would benefit from them.  I feel as though they are a part of my business and I can count on them for answers to questions I may have at any time.
