"Control4, unlike many companies, does not have a team dedicated primarily to social media. Our small group of contributors wear many different hats. That, however, has never caused us to undervalue our social presence and the massive impact it has to drive many of our internal decisions. We truly listen to our audiences — dealers, consumers, prospects, partners, press, and the overall consumer electronics industry — to better ourselves in all aspects of marketing and product development. This, in my opinion, is one of the strongest and most effective uses of social media for any business." —Crystal Watts, Sr. Manager, Marketing Communications ... Read more

"Control4 success is built around the success of our dealers and their ability to grow their business. We have a natural alignment with our dealer base to ensure that our solutions are installed by talented and well-trained people so that end customers get to enjoy the full benefit and capabilities of the solutions we offer. As an organization, we strive to ensure that the dealers who represent our brand to the world have all been trained, certified, and are actively supported by Control4 to maximize their success for every installation, and we act quickly to address any instance of unauthorized sales or installations to protect our brand, our dealers, and our end customers from the tarnish resulting from a bad experience." —Jeff Dungan, SVP Business Development and Supply Chain Operations ...

"Ask any dealership about technician training and you are likely to hear a list of complaints about the cost and hassle. And yet, at the same time, you'll often hear the same dealerships complain about how difficult it is to find and retain competent and experienced technicians. Control4 is changing that by offering training that is inexpensive, self-paced, designed to systematically develop technician expertise, and minimize the impact on a technician's billable time. The Pakedge Certified Network Administrator (PCNA) certification is Contol4's first program developed to specifically fulfill that promise. We combine engaging online content that technicians can move through at their own pace, with hands-on practice using real networking equipment that technicians can keep and use in their own homes. Technicians are developing the knowledge, skill, and experience required to install and configure great home networks." —Rus Rasmussen, Director of Worldwide Training ... Read more

"We are honored to continue to provide dealers a unique and efficient experience using the Control4 portal. We set ourselves apart by offering them an eCommerce platform, not only for our core line of automation, networking, and speaker products, but also for a growing list of partner products that complement every installed Control4 system. The Control4 portal also provides dealers with a best-in-class support section with online chat, knowledgebase, and RMA submission. The new training platform gives technicians a place to level-up their skills with certifications such as PCNA. We will continue to innovate and build web tools for dealers to run their businesses online as efficiently as possible with industry-leading technology." —JD Cargile, Director of Web Applications ... Read more

"We want to help share a vision of home automation with consumers and, in order to do so, we strive to provide high-quality, polished materials and support in a wide variety of ways for our dealers. Our tactics, campaigns, and materials are all developed with our dealers in mind, and we use their feedback to help us strategize new and different approaches and opportunities. Our entire team is committed to helping our dealers thrive, because we know their success is our success." —Brad Hintze, Sr. Director of Product Marketing ... Read more

"Control4's world-class support experience stems from the mindset that we are partners with our dealers in every way. Our dealers’ success is Contol4's success. Our dealers do not call a stereotypical technical support call center, they call their partners at Control4 Support and Advocacy; the majority of whom are custom installation and network professionals with decades of combined, in-field experience in the roles of installation and service technicians, project managers, and business owners. Our team considers themselves on-the-job with our valued dealers, providing uniquely-exceptional support experiences — with a commitment of 100 percent resolution—even if that requires putting a resource on a plane." —Scott Jeffery, Sr. Director Worldwide Support Services ...

"“First, we empower our dealers to help themselves by sharing what we know through our knowledge base. There is no secret manual that we keep to ourselves. Our agents worldwide consult the same knowledge repository that we make available to our dealers. Second, we have our dealers’ backs. Many of our agents have worked for dealers or owned dealerships, so they understand what it’s like to be stuck without an answer. Whether contacting us by online chat or by phone, dealers know that Control4 support agents bring every issue to a working resolution. Third, Control4 support regularly goes to extreme lengths to ensure the success of dealers and the satisfaction of end customers. We often dispatch technical field personnel to solve problems that require a site visit. And when an end customer gets frustrated, Control4’s customer advocacy team helps dealers de-escalate the issue. The common theme of these principles is a dedication to our dealers’ success.” —Ted Haeger, Senior Director, Training and Support" ... Read more
