What would you say to dealers who are stumbling across your company for the first time?
There’s a reason Control4 has been the CE Pro brand leader in whole-house automation for three consecutive years. We are committed to our mission, and that means offering the best in home automation systems and making sure our dealers not only succeed, but thrive.
With Control4, Pakedge and Triad products, we are ensuring that dealers are getting the best of the best every step of the way. By offering high quality products and dealer tools, we are making sure they have what they need to flourish in our trade.
What would you say to dealers who are already familiar with your product line?
Be sure to stay updated, because we are continually adding new features and products to make things easier for both dealers and homeowners.
If a dealer/integrator stops by your booth with only 5 minutes to spare, what’s the one product he should examine or one question he should ask?
He/she should ask what’s new with the Triad product line. We have so many new products that are tailored to fit every install. The new Triad products are aimed to make things easier for our dealers, from the installs to repairs to adding zones and more, it’s all about convenience and efficiency.
Think of your closest competitor (company or product). What is one thing you offer that they don’t? Please be specific.
One thing Control4 does that competitors don’t is offer comprehensive dealer tools that make the installation and the support of a connected home as simple as possible, from the network to the automation.
Why are you looking forward to CEDIA coming to San Diego for the first time?
San Diego has such a unique feel to it, it’s just a fun place to be and having everyone here and excited for CEDIA just amplifies that atmosphere.
