Latest headlines: Rob Voorhees on how spending more money is not always a bad thing when it comes to AV, plus news from Extron and more

October 4, 2023 | Volume: 21 | Issue: 37

 

According to Rob Voorhees, spending more money does not always equal more problems when it comes to AV. Sometimes, it can create fewer problems! But there is no one-size-fits-all option and you have to ask a customer questions about what they’re actually doing to better how to fix any of their problems. Enjoy Rob’s latest column, where he offers the example of a microphone to better illustrate this point.

Also, our monthly temperature check survey is now open and the focus this time is all about security! So go and answer it (it takes about 2 minutes) and maybe you’ll win a $50 Amazon gift card! We are giving away two this month!

Finally, I’m about to be on my way back from Zoomtopia 2023 in San Jose, and I can’t wait to share with you all the cool things I got to check out while there! Keep an eye out on the site!

COLUMNS

 

+ Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems? Why Spending More on AV Is Not Necessarily a Bad Thing [Rob Voorhees]

It is commonplace for me to receive an email that asks what I recommend for a specific product. The first line of my reply will generally be to tell me more about the project, how the needed product will be used, the dimensions of the room it’s being used in, and more. I will also always ask about the desired budget because I like to know what expectations the customer has and for the sake of this column, I want to spend the bulk of our time discussing that topic deeper.
