As a rapidly growing company, we had no idea where to start when it came to analyzing our telecommunications needs. Janice Kloppe helped us unravel the puzzle, identify unnecessary spending and get us on course. Janice created an RFP process to bid our telecommunications services and was with us every step of the way through the selection process.
As we began the transition to our new provider, Janice was an essential member of the team, participating in decision making, conducting research, troubleshooting issues and serving as our advocate through the entire process. Thanks to Janice, we’re not only saving a lot of money, but our systems are far more sophisticated than before. I wholeheartedly recommend Janice Kloppe to anyone who needs a little telecom help.

CPC Logistics Inc. has developed an excellent business relationship over the years with Janice Kloppe. We have used the services of their consultants three times in the past twenty years and have found their staff to be knowledgeable and their evaluations to be complete, accurate and professional.
Their work and attention to detail is extraordinary and in each review they were able to organize and streamline our company’s phone usage and expense. They helped us and held our hand through the transition from one long distance carrier to another company-wide, in addition to local and long distance in the corporate office. This allowed CPC the flexibility to continue to do what we do best while confident that we had the top consultants in the field looking after our communication needs.
