Thank you Sandy Barnett
Photo of SandyBittersweet news from the MarketVolt support desk: Today is Sandy Barnett’s last day with MarketVolt. The news is bitter, of course, because we will miss Sandy. The news is sweet because Sandy has chosen to make the move so she can spend more time at home being a mom — something she is really excited to do!

Farewell to you, Sandy. And thank you!

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OUR CLIENTS: Our mission to provide exceptional customer support does not end with Sandy’s departure.
Please send support requests to “helpdesk@marketvolt.com” or call 314-529-1435. Sarah Wright and the support team will field those emails and calls and provide the extraordinary client care that you have grown expect from MarketVolt.

Simply go to webresizer.com, upload your image, enter your selections, and download the corrected image back to your computer for uploading to MarketVolt. More detailed instructions can be found here.
