“We have an incredible rate with Aspirion. The firm definitely doesn’t nickel-and-dime us for anything. The rate is simply the percentage that I have negotiated. Aspirion’s rate is the best and lowest percentage rate of all of our other vendors. Aspirion has done an incredible job for us. If the firm were to ask to use me as a reference, I certainly would be happy to do that for them. I could not say a bad thing about Aspirion.”
