To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to provide this letter of recommendation for Value Inspired Products and Services, led by Scott Weiss and his son, Michael. I offer my strongest endorsement of their work and confidently recommend them for any project they pursue, particularly those involving school districts and educational facilities. Over the past three years, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Scott and Michael on a significant building project for our district. From the outset, their focus was clear: deliver the highest quality products and exceptional service while ensuring we secured the best possible value. They provided thorough, transparent information that allowed us to make informed decisions, understand cost structures, and evaluate which products would best meet the needs of our students and staff. What sets Scott and Michael apart is their ability to listen. They took the time to meet with our staff, genuinely hear their concerns and preferences, and incorporate that feedback into a comprehensive plan that earned widespread support. Their collaborative approach fostered trust and resulted in solutions that were both practical and embraced by those who would use them daily. Throughout the process, they demonstrated responsiveness, professionalism, and integrity. If adjustments were needed, they addressed them promptly and ensured the project continued moving forward without disruption. In contrast to other vendors, we considered, Scott and Michael consistently provided the level of communication, follow-through, and partnership that school districts require. Should I have the opportunity to work with them again in another district, I would do so without reservation. Their expertise in analyzing needs, presenting solutions, and guiding educational institutions toward sound purchasing decisions is exceptional. They understand schools, they understand service, and they stand behind their work. Please feel free to contact me if additional information would be helpful. I would be happy to provide further positive endorsement of Value-Inspired Products and Services. Sincerely,
Jim WagnerSuperintendent - Le Sueur Henderson School District

To whom it may concern,
I am pleased to share our experience with this team following our recent cafeteria furniture project.
Our district replaced cafeteria tables across all school buildings. From the first planning conversations with V.I.P. through installation, the process felt organized and well supported. Communication stayed consistent and clear. Questions received quick answers, and the team helped us plan a schedule that avoided disruption to the school day.
The tables look great and function even better. Students and staff noticed the improvement right away. The cafeterias feel more open and easier to supervise, and our custodial staff now manages setup and cleanup with less time and effort.
What impressed us most was their level of service. Their staff assisted with assembly and placement and remained on site to make sure everything was right. After installation, they checked in again to confirm we were satisfied and to address any needs that came up.
Projects of this size often bring stress. This one did not. The team kept their commitments and took real pride in their work. I would confidently and highly recommend them to any school district considering a cafeteria or furniture project and would gladly partner with them again.
Sincerely,
Kevin Babcock

I highly recommend this company to any school!"Principal Clarksville CSD
"I have been impressed by V.i.P.S. support team's professionalism, dedication, promptness, and availability we have received with every support issue we have worked with them on. To be quite frank, we never received the caliber of support we do from V.i.P.S.."Western Dubuque Community Schools
Here is an Email that the teacher sent to the principal…."All of the kids loved the Mimio, we don't want it to leave. Some of the kids even said they would bring money to help pay for it, ha! They had so much fun with it, I will be sad to see it go, seriously I have used it everyday in the classroom and downloaded some great lessons." Thanks Amanda
“V.I.P.S. made ordering three custom rugs for our elementary school a snap. The turnaround was very quick and the best part is the rugs look great! If we're ever in the market for more products like this, we'll be sure to use them again.”Beth PTO Chair
"Thanks for everything you do for us! The staffed white boards came in before classes started – what\ timing!!! You saved us again!"Coe College

"Don't hesitate to ask for our support. Your company is a great asset for Iowa schools, as we are always able to get someone to our district quickly to handle our needs as they arise."Oskaloosa Community Schools
"We are a school that had the great “pleasure” of running three SIS systems in three years. Our experience with our previous system was not a pleasant one and V.i.P.S. did everything in their power to make our conversion as painless as possible. If it hadn’t been for their persistence, our conversion would have been a real mess. The support staff have been EXTREMELY helpful and have responded to our questions/concerns in a timely manner."Mount Pleasant Community Schools
"As far as support from a company, I could not ask for anyone better than V.i.P.S. Their services have been above and beyond our expectations. If it were not for them, I would not understand this software as well as I do. They not only take all of our e-mails but personal phone calls to help me/us understand things in a better way."Coon Rapids Community Schools
