Hello there, #AVtweeps! You know what I have ready for you! It’s Kayye’s Krystal Ball 2023 Edition! You won’t want to miss Gary Kayye’s predictions for the year, because he makes predictions relating to all levels of the AV industry.
Also, Lee Distad tells a few tales in his latest column, some of which are … unexpected. (Yes, he caught a company running its POS software via a free trial. Yikes!)
Welcome to my 23rd annual Kayye’s Krystal Ball! I wonder if this will be my last … are you bored yet? To think I have been opining this column for 23 years is stunning to me. I am humbled by your loyal readership, and I continue to be amazed by how many of you read it (as well as how many of you tell me you use it to guide decisions on up-and-coming new companies and tech). Thank you for the support, #AVtweeps. #LOVE .
No matter how long you’ve been around, you can still be surprised. The first week of November, I was reaching out to my dealers. I asked them for their October sell-through reports. To my surprise one responded, “I can’t generate reports.” At first, I interpreted “I can’t generate reports” as “I don’t know how to generate reports.” So, trying to be helpful, I asked which POS (Point of Sale) software they were using.
