quote start I wanted to take a moment to write you to inform you that I am extremely pleased with your employee Jeff Machacek. Jeff has been working on our computers for years and I have always been extremely satisfied with his promptness and excellent services. Recently he had fixed an issue that I have been having with my laptop computer and he was kind enough to work on my laptop around my court schedule so I would not be without my laptop during working hours.

Jeff has always been courteous and friendly with everyone in my office and most importantly, Jeff provides results - he fixes the issues instead of providing excuses as to why something cannot be fixed.

You are lucky to have such a valued employee and as a result I am fortunate to be the recipient of your effort to have valued employees. quote end

He always gets the job done quickly and professionally, and always checks back with us to make sure that everything is still working properly. He always makes sure to introduce himself to new employees so that they can put a face with the name! As the “face” of Stellar here at CFCI, his skills, manner and professionalism make a very good impression for your company! quote end

Bonnie Tongate Glass, Marketing Donor Services for Community Foundation of Central Illinois
- To Jeff Machacek

quote start I just wanted to share how wonderful Jeff Machacek has been to work with. He is our primary contact for our account and is just so great at his job. He is knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and timely.

I can’t think of a time that he hasn’t delivered excellent service with customer care in mind.

Over the last few months, we have opened a second location on Madison which has required even more of his time and attention. Right now, he is at the Madison location assisting our Coordinator in getting some issues ironed out and she e-mailed me how great he is. This is what is prompting my e-mail. Sometimes, in leadership, it seems we only hear the customer complaints, so I wanted you to know what an outstanding job Jeff is doing and how completely satisfied we are as customers. quote end
