Virtual Fall Integrators Meeting 2021 Recap

On November 9th-11th, the USAV integration service group met virtually for their annual fall meeting. Normally the event is in person but with COVID spikes, it was decided that it would be better to do a fully virtual meeting. The format was 3-days with only 2 hours of meetings per day. This gave the integrators the ability to have time each day for their normal work tasks.

Canned Food, Coat and Sock Drive

A BIG delivery was made from PSA/USAV team to the Denver Rescue Mission, Tuesday, November 30th. PSA/USAV donated items from our food, coat and sock drive to the Denver Rescue Mission along with items from their Amazon Wishlist. Thank you to the PSA/USAV employees for showing up for their community and the Denver Rescue Mission for making an impact.

“I’m proud to work at PSA.” -Candice Aragon from PSA, Vice President of Marketing and Events

Almo E4 Event

Over the past week, USAV’s Chris Salazar-Mangrum and Cheryl Walton attended the Almo E4 Event in Dallas, Texas. The hybrid event was a success, there was some overlap of live, virtual and a mix of CTS accredited sessions offered online and in-person. The show floor had a solid showing around 300 attendees, including several USAV tech partners offering up the ability to discuss 2022 USAV sponsorships and programs.

Cheryl had the opportunity to visit with local dealers and made best of friends with Dawna Payne from Texadia and Susan Barnette from Visionality.

Overall, it was a successful event and time well spent with integrators in and out of the network, tech partners and industry influencers: Tim Albright, Gary Kayye and Melody Craigmyle.

Luckily, creating a “digital storefront” is easier than ever to do! The hard part? Making sure your business is easy to locate. That’s where search engine optimization, or SEO, comes in!

Why You Should Offer Managed Services for Client Retention

MANAGED SERVICES ARE THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO DRIVE CLIENT SATISFACTION AND MEET LONG-TERM RETENTION GOALS.

For most businesses, client satisfaction and retention are the driving force behind our actions. Whether it’s a quick service call or a large multi-phase project, we do everything in our power to make sure we go above and beyond for our clients. And as our industry evolves, so do our clients’ needs and expectations. As service providers, this brings about several questions.
