I joined the Sappersupport family almost 5 years ago, nothing could have quite prepared me for what I was embarking on but I quickly found that by using my own experiences and honesty and integrity together myself and the caller could work out most issues swiftly. The unique thing about Sappersupport is you can be yourself, use banter the less robotic you are the easier the calls become.
