Carl G.: My name is Carl. I'm the owner and managing operator of Wisconsin Academy of Sports, a sports training facility in northeast Wisconsin. We primarily focus with young kids in a general sports market. With Sawyer, we have a wonderful rating of five out of five, so we're pretty excited to be involved with [inaudible 00:00:29]. Prior to Sawyer, we were actually with Wix, and we experienced challenges with Wix. Then when we went with Sawyer, it was just an amazing upward movement, drawing our clients, giving them a better option. Because registration is such an important part of what we do, we needed to make sure it was simple. We are able to get as much information over to the potential clients as much as possible and not be caught up in a lot of other challenging situations, which we've experienced with the program we were using previously. Well, I'm not tech savvy, and I can tell you what, I'm really happy to have Sawyer, because I was able to get my web-based program. I'm doing everything technology wise, and working with Sawyer, it has become much easier building programs, building classes. I have a few that I have to do today. It's much easier to do, much friendlier to do. And if I need any support, all I have to do is reach out and I get it, and I'm very thankful for that. If you are looking for a program that's going to help make everything easier for you when it comes to registration in building online information for potential clients or even your existing clients, I would say with all the ones that I've experienced over the last 20 years, Sawyer has been the one to come through for me. And if you're looking for support, they are the number one at that. Because I get online, we get right to the topic base, and we get things done, and I walk away much more knowledgeable about what I need to do and I'm excited about it. So if I have all the control in my hands, I will be with Sawyer for a while.
