Break into Pro AV (the Easy Way)

Most forward-thinking IT solution providers are continually on the lookout for new sources of revenue. Unfortunately, there are frequently barriers to expanding your line card that can make it challenging to turn opportunity into reality. If lack of training, staff shortages or scarcity of free time have prevented you from growing, you’re not alone. However, help is available–particularly if you’re an Ingram Micro partner interested in tapping into the lucrative pro AV market.

Pro AV Sales: Work Smarter, Not harder

Ingram Micro recently unveiled its new complimentary pro AV design service. This service gives Ingram Micro solution providers the ability to speak with a certified expert for pre- and post-build pro AV design services. The goal of the service is to help you identify customer needs, issue a bill of materials and create a solution that fully addresses your customers’ problems.

Pre- and post-build design services are available for a variety of customers and applications such as:

Here’s how the service works. First, your Ingram Micro consultant will gather a high-level view of your customer’s characteristics, define their objectives and develop the scope of work. The next step is to discuss where the project will reside and what limitations may affect the installation. Ingram Micro’s team will also explore the challenges that may come up, including project management and integration obstacles, product and delivery issues, system commissioning, and project sign-off. Finally, since there’s more than one way to accomplish the objective, you’ll collaboratively explore available options to meet your customers’ needs. The ultimate deliverable includes the system design and final bill of materials.

Recognizing that many opportunities require a swift response, the Ingram Micro team can typically turn around a design in one business day. In some cases, this might extend to 48 hours.

What Does “Complimentary” Really Mean?

There are no fees for this service; Ingram Micro will cover the cost for its existing solution providers. The goal of the program is to eliminate potential barriers to winning pro AV business. If Ingram Micro can help you win more business and create better solutions for your customers, it’s a win-win.

During a time when you need every competitive advantage you can leverage, this complimentary pro AV design service will help you unlock new opportunities without needing to commit existing resources.
