Snap One Dealer Advisory Panel Addresses the Connect & Assist Program Controversy

February 2, 2024 by Ted 1 Comment

Snap One held a media Q&A session with the Partner Advisory Panel

Days after Snap One announced a major program initiative in an effort to change the integration industry business model, the company held a media presentation in which 5 members of the 23-member Control4 dealer advisory panel that helped the company design the program were made available to select members of the media for a short question and answer session. This was organized by Snap One specifically because I had asked to speak with the panel. How do I know that was the reason for this media opportunity? Because company executives told the media that I was the reason they chose to hold this event. This may, or may not, have endeared me to the other media.

Integrators Will Want to Sell It to Clients and Use It in Their Businesses

Sometimes, those things most valuable in life – like air, for example – are unimportant to us until that moment we need it. For example, it does not occur to us that we rely on a safe, efficient, clean source of power until a big storm – a hurricane, tornado, forest fire, etc. – cuts it off. Mango Power offers a portable battery/inverter power station that will protect your access to clean battery-generated AC power…enough power to get you through most events…as well as enhance many other activities.

It is January 18, 2024, just a little more than two weeks into the new year, and so far Tech businesses have laid off at least 7,785 employees at 58 companies, according to the tracking website Layoffs.fyi. While the number of layoffs per company appears to be moderating some as compared to last year’s crazy post-COVID downward adjustment frenzy, the stream of companies laying off staff appears unrelenting.
