“We have been a client of Cal Johnson Answering Service for nearly 25 years. They’re our second office. They have friendly, responsible folks taking calls from our past, present, and future clients. They do this around the clock never missing a beat. They always relay urgent messages to the proper contact person in our company.
If you have a special project or need you can always pick up the phone and talk to the president and owner, Sharon Campbell, as her door is always open. Simply put, Cal Johnson is an asset to our organization and we consider them part of our team. I highly recommend them to any company, large or small.”
