New dealer member Gordon van Zuiden says he is already seeing the value of membership. “Joining Azione in the latter part of 2017, we have already enjoyed the benefits of being part of the group. cyberManor is building a new pre-wire showroom and Azione’s vendors have agreed to support us in this effort. The employee handbook and the templates Azione provides are both needed and a great assistance in this effort,” said van Zuiden. “We are looking forward to our first Azione membership conference in Philadelphia next year to meet with our fellow members. We’re especially anticipating the great keynotes that Azione has built a reputation for delivering at their events.”
“What do you get when you add high profile companies with superb principals to an organization? You get stronger and smarter,” said Azione Unlimited President Richard Glikes. “With Dave Wasserman of Stereo Exchange, Gordon van Zuiden of cyberManor, and Gerry Lynch of System 7, you have three of the best minds in the business. Combine that with young bright dealers eager to grow, like Tech Automation, Front Row Audio Video, Evolve Technologies, and Sound by Design and one begins to understand the power of an integrator-based group all pulling in the same direction. Azione Unlimited is focused on building the best team of vendors and dealers with being ‘Perfect Partners’ as the ultimate goal.”
