Problemen met je laptop of je netwerk? Bel Kia!Ik ben heel blij dat ik hem heb ontdekt. Hij is heel vriendelijk, betrouwbaar, bereikbaar en legt waar nodig goed uit zodat een leek als ik het begrijpt.‍

In tegenstelling tot veel van zijn ‘collega’s’ die puur met schermen lijken te kunnen communiceren, heeft Kia prima sociale vaardigheden. Naast deskundig is hij dus een prettige persoon om over de vloer te krijgen.‍

Ook als het je puur om het resultaat gaat, ben je bij hem aan het juiste adres. Hij lost je problemen snel op, beantwoordt je vragen en blijft ook daarna bereikbaar en behulpzaam.‍

Wat wil je nog meer? Ik kan hem van harte aanbevelen!

What would Kia do?

That question has been asked by many of my peers, clients and friends.
So I setup an exclusive community to answer them.
