A few hours is hardly certification, but was a great introduction in the product line. Did you know that BSS offers online training modules.

Our first week out and Harman Pro hosted the Audio Principles and Applications Seminar in Atlanta and Charlotte with guest speaker Mr. Sam Berkow, the creator of Smarrt Live. Also both the Studer and Crown Trucks were on hand for additional support.
Vision2 Marketing would like to thank all the guys from the Harman Pro Group for their support this first week as well as all the dealers that showed up to help make the event a success. Keep tuned, there will be more to come.

Last Month, Vision2 Marketing made the trip to Northridge, CA; Home of Harman Pro and the JBL Factory. We spent three days learning the “ins and outs” of the systems, as well as a good over view of JBL, AKG, and Soundcraft. December 1st we hit the ground running, and with additional support in the office as well as four additional sales guys in the field, we are geared up and ready to support you.
