“We have been increasingly aware of the impending collision between wellness technologies and the traditional A/V and smart home products that we see in the CI channel,” reported Dyroff. “The wellness category features dynamic, innovative manufacturers, and we anticipate meaningful growth and revenue opportunities vital to the future of the CI channel. Additionally, we are confident that an effective national alliance will change the way both vendor and dealer partners across the US perceive sales representation, creating a highly efficient, service-centric benchmark for our industry.
