Dear SpeakerCraft Team Member,
Traveling the country, visiting and speaking with dealers and representatives, a hint of optimism is in the air. New construction is picking up slowly, but never the less picking up. Project plans are rolling across desks and dealers genuinely seem excited about the future. This is great news for all. Optimism gets you in the right state of mind for success, but the culmination of knowledge, dedication and partnering with the right companies will ultimately lead to sustainable success. Here at SpeakerCraft, we constantly strive to be the best business partner. We live, eat and breath this industry. This is why we are proud to announce our latest accolades from Inside Track for “stellar rankings” in the following categories:
Appropriate Assortment
Brand Name Recognition
Resolution of Service/Return/Repair Issues
Quality of Sales Representatives
and Dealer Training.

By reinventing ourselves daily, we will only get better and promise to you, our dealer, that we will continue to be your best partner.
Most of all we want to thank you for making this all possible. If you need anything or just want to drop me a note I can be reached at nberry@speakercraft.com. Thanks again for your support.
