If you’ve been on the internet before, you may have heard the phrase “the tea.” No, it’s not about the beverage. But y’all are smart I’m sure you’ve gathered that. Urban Dictionary defines it as “the best gossip, usually shared among friends.” But what happens if your clients are the ones spilling the tea? Good thing or bad thing? Read Lee Distad’s latest blog about what happens when a client trusts you so much that you learn some hot gossip.

Also, have you filled out our Monthly Temperature Check survey yet? This time, we’re asking you about resimercial technology and how important it is to your business. It’s just three questions, and your answers help us a lot with our coverage! (P.S. We’re also giving away two $50 Amazon gift cards to two random respondents if that helps.)

Finally, don’t miss your chance to get onto the CEDIA Expo show floor for free! Will we see you in Denver Sept. 5-7? Get your free show pass here.

August 2024 Temperature Check — Survey OPEN!

CEDIA Expo 2024 and Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX) 2024 are right around the corner, and that means it’s time to get thinking about resimercial technology. As Gary and I said recently during our CIX Preview event, resimercial tech can best be described as commercial technology influenced by HomeAV or residential. This can mean aesthetically, functionally, etc. Alternatively, it can also mean HomeAV tech informed by commercial design. So, now’s our chance to ask you: How important is this technology trend to you and your business?
