MINING GLOBAL understand as much as we can about their operations and their needs ,” Ulrich said .
“ Because of our mentality towards customer service , we tend to get a lot of repeat business from previous clients . A lot of times when clients move on to other companies , they bring us on board at their new company . Customer service is one of our pillars of strength and it ’ s making a huge impact for us .”
